Does it help that I feel sorry you have to read more of these horrible books?

(Psst, it wasn't my idea, I swear!)

Sorry posted wrong book. She's reading the same as the others but I can't get the correct link right now

Katie | 1634 comments That's because it's Dangerous Ground. Lol! Here's a link.

Hello other Quidditch Match!!

Wanted to share one of my Keeper posts over here to share some wonderful memories from our game with Hufflepuff in Match 2:

Gryffindor Keeper

Judith caught the scent of vanilla in the air. Could that have resulted in Quadruplets for the Billionaire? Uncertain, she heads to the Ravenclaw Quaffle to investigate. (Read by Emily, Letter Q)


I'm sure several of you are confused, but Hufflepuff can explain it. LOL.

Also, I'm not sure Ravenclaw appreciates my humor :(

Well, they wouldn't get this reference anyway. . .so that may not be a fair statement. And based on some of my other keeper posts, they likely think I'm a perv and are afraid.


Good luck everyone!!

Wonderful memories is an interesting way to describe that particular interlude in the last match

Having them fear you isn't a bad strategy!

Ravenclaw schmavenclaw! You are wasted on them!

Thanks for the giggle - deep in stupid Mrs Fixit and all the stupid C named characters, I needed that lift!

Sophie (drsophie) | 5721 comments Mod
Also if they pick books with titles like that, what do they expect!

Judith (brownie72011) | 7494 comments Mod
True, it was an experience that defied words to describe. Much like the book I read.

Cat (cat_uk) | 10156 comments Mod
Last night's book here was pretty epic, though with 100% less vanilla. Souls of Fire, iyi. Free on KU. The Claws will thank you for making them read it

Gryffindor players are pooling our resources and buying the library editions of the entire series for Jenny for Christmas. Just don't tell her, I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise.

Cat's vehement dislike of this series is making me morbidly curious about it...

message 278: by Laura (new)

Laura | 5524 comments I picked it up during Wobble, but thankfully Natalie read them all and I didn’t have to. This was my first delightful Mrs. Fixit experience. It’s true. Quidditch really does broaden your horizons! :)


message 279: by Ora (new)

Ora (oeamis) They are quick and easy reads. I do have say I will read just about anything when it comes to challenges.

Oh, for sure! It's pretty well proof read, but the woman gets my goat, constantly pocketing evidence and destroying the chain of custody.

Also,in what world is a VW Bug even potentially mistakable for any other car in the world??!

Laura | 5524 comments But don’t all red cars look alike? :)

Suzanne | 5429 comments Karishma wades through the deep deep angst, and saves Danielle by finishing Dangerous Ground.

Note: This would have been posted by me a few minutes sooner but I was laughing too hard at the Mrs. Fix It posts.

Suzanne | 5429 comments Lol and Judith - so glad you dropped in. I remember the vanilla well :) Unfortunately.

Badly proof read kills my enjoyment of any book regardless how good the plot/characters might be

Stupid book finished, Kathleen hanging on for Ora

Finished stupid Paint It Dead

Jammin Jenny (jamminjenny) | 4185 comments Cat, you know you love Mrs. Fix It...


message 288: by Cat (new)

Cat (cat_uk) | 10156 comments Mod
My favourite bits in this one:

Stupid Kate hating gossip in one sentence and then immediately pumping random people for gossip, with no sense of irony whatsoever

Stupid Kate taking days to work out that a patch of recently turned soil just where she is about to pave is suspicious, eventually digging it up and then stupidly putting her stupid fingerprints all over the stupid buried treasure.

Stupid Jason getting hired again as stupid Dean's construction manger, a stupid job I am sure he had in the last stupid book, and didn't get fired from it, unless I had a stupid moment ad missed that plot point.

Happily lots of the C named characters have now been killed, so there is that.

I was a beta reader for a book that drove me crazy with using the wrong words. The one that stuck out to me is using wood instead of would.

I do.

For reasons passing my understanding right now...
Except that you let me rant about books! I think that about half this match thread is me yapping on about cheese & food based jokes or ranting about books! Oops!

But we (I) are having fun, right?
