Review: well it is a nice read. Nothing amazing, but a good one! I was surprised by Andreas who is not as much as an asshole that we may think. And he's full of surprises. Darren is the nice guy like the guy next door. Nothing particular about the mystery part. I'll read book 2 for sure 😊

Risky Behavior

MountainKat | 31598 comments Oh, the randomizer is getting mean...

Here is Task 11:

72. Read 4 books published in the decade of a teammate's birth, team decides which teammate.

Hope you have a youngun'! As a team, select one teammate and read books initially published in the decade of their birth. Use the initial publication date for this task, if there is one listed on the editions page use that, otherwise I will be looking for the earliest dated English language edition. Please include the decade selected in your completion posts.

message 562: by Emilienne (new)

Emilienne (petitnez) | 313 comments How do we find an ebook published in the 90s??????
Because libraries in France do not have MM books, less published in the 90s...
Oh dang...

Its not required ebook, just the first published date of book to qualify. We only use kindle edition for page counts/basic to make more fair. I hope can find something xx

Trip  (shardsofromance) | 2210 comments Im not much of a fan of Harry Potter. Although i adore the universe and plenty of fanfiction from it. Most my knowledge is from those or starkids A Very Potter musicals 😂

Just never got into the films and didn't bother with the books. I do adore the Fantastic beasts though!

Wende | 1741 comments Task: 11 read a book the 90's as that is the decade everyone but myself was born 😭😭 I am so old.
Book: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Harry Potter, #3) by J.K. Rowling
Page count: 453
How it qualifies: published in 1999 Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Rating: 5 stars
Review: I have to say I have not read this book for at least for decades. I read it with my kids when it came out. I forgot how much I enjoyed it. This book I remembered fondly but I had forgotten the darkness that was in this book. Harry was a bit of a dumb child in this book. He kept having no worries about how he was putting everyone in danger just to have fun. I really did get a bit angry at him. 😂😂 I don't remember having those feeling back then. I loved the way they worked together for saving everyone though! Such a wonderful book!💖💖

message 598: by Gustaf (last edited Oct 09, 2020 03:22PM) (new)

Gustaf | 1936 comments Completion post - Task 11
Book: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Author: J.K. Rowling
Pages: 351/GR
How it fits: Published in the 90's. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Rating and review: 4 stars.

So here's the thing. I do not, under any circumstances agree with the views of this author. To be frank, I'm disgusted by her. I already own this book, so she's not getting anything from me reading it again.

With that said, I'm trying to look at Harry Potter as Harry Potter here and not something written by this vile author. And Harry Potter is Harry Potter. Harry Potter was a huge part of my childhood and every once in a while nostalgia hits me hard. This was my favorite book as a kid, so it was nice revisiting.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
