The Huffs want to pay tribute to the splendid Ora, flying solo, having had - we guess - no sleep since the game began! She's constantly alert!
Tip of the hat from all of us, Ora!

Now, go get some d@#!ed sleep!

[Suzanne]

You beaters are amazing!

[Laura]

Suzanne wrote: "You beaters are amazing!"

I agree. I can't do beater. Or Keeper. If I'm going to read crappy books, I need to be able to pick them out myself. :)

[Ora]

Slytherin Beater

Ora knocks Suzanne off the broom while helping Pia Saves the Day

[Ora]

Sleep is overrated.

It would be nice to pick the crappy books I read, but I guess it's a good thing I will read just about anything for a challenge regardless of how painful it is.

Thank you Suzanne for the past few Elder books. It's nice to read from a series I have started.

[Katie]

The shorts in that series are surprisingly good sometimes, too. A lot of series shorts are pretty average, so it's nice getting some real stories in those.

[Cat]

Cat & Pia have saved the day! Suzanne is whole of mind & memory

Finished - Pia Saves the Day

[Cat]

Chain 18

Suzanne & Katie are both reading Wild Hunger

Danielle has decided that not sleeping is for lunatics & has gone to catch some zzzzzs

[❀Tea❀]

Slytherin player substitution

Ora runs away from the field (some are saying they heard her screaming, but it can't be confirmed or denied at the moment) and Tea picks up her bat. By confused look on her face we can only hope she'll remember she's not a chaser before she starts trowing bludgers at her teammates like a quaffle

Tea is here for rest of the game.

[Suzanne]

Ora - you have been amazing! As I'm sure you will be Tea.

[❀Tea❀]

Sometimes it looks like your beaters are never sleeping either. Or chasers :)

Everyone is doing great job.

[Sarah]

Hufflepuff Keeper Sarah just about gets her eyes open to read The Curse of the Mistwraith.

A May Bride - Kathleen
A June Bride - Laura
A July Bride - Jenny

Score: Slytherin: 100, Hufflepuff: 90

[Cat]

What was wrong with January - April?! Enquiring minds etc etc

Cat struggles awake, starts reading A May Bride. Targeting Kathleen (chain 17) same book

[Eldarwen]

Slytherin Beater

Louise is already on her broom and chasing after that bludger.

Reading: A May Bride (same book)

[Cat]

And done! Cat wedded bludger to chaser in a perfect union!

Kathleen off...
finished A May Bride

[Cat]

Cat is Picking up A June Bride, targeting Laura

[❀Tea❀]

Slytherin Beater

Tea goes after bludger targeting Laura with A June Bride

[Laura]

The July one is much better. The June MC sucks.

The series starts in December, but we couldn’t get that one. Or February. April is slightly longer. So that’s what was wrong with January to April. We couldn’t make a chain. :)

[Eldarwen]

Slytherin Beater

Louise saves Kathleen in the nick of time and the chaser is off down the field again.

Finished: A May Bride (same book)

[Eldarwen]

Slytherin Chaser Chain #17 Completion

The green side of the stadium erupts in cheers - score for Slytherin!

A July Bride - Jenny

Score:
Slytherin: 110
Hufflepuff: 90

[Cat]

Cat finishes A June Bride, Laura's turn to sprawl...

[Eldarwen]

I find it surprising that with all these bludgers going left and right that we haven't had to take anyone to Madam Pomphrey yet.

Or maybe I just jinxed that haha. Oops!

[❀Tea❀]

That's because Gilderoy is busy with other match :P

But I think all of us will be in hospital wing after this is finished :)

[Cat]

Karishma is going to attack Laura from Chain 16, reading The Mad Earl's Bride (Bride / 158p)

That's Laura attacked in all 3chains (so I can keep clear who is a legit target!)

Edit: thankfully Tea is better at determining legit targets. This is aimed at Jenny #15 not Laura. I didn't mean to stomp on a downed player!

All chain 15 books attacked

But Laura is still down.... Isn't she? I'm still reading her back in

[Cat]

4hours sleep last night!
At least seekers have eyes on snitch...

[Cat]

Cat going to attack Kathleen in chain 15 with same book A July Bride

Poo! Can we change to Jenny in #15 then.

4hrs sleep! Too many brides!

[Laura]

I suppose I deserve it since the bride books were my suggestion. Who knew you could fit love triangles into such short books.

You should have seen Tea’s reaction when Kathleen described the May triangle as involving the mother and the boyfriend. :)

[Eldarwen]
