Tower Teams VI

Team Minerva McGonagall
If we participate in the tri-wizard maze can that book also be used for our team (McGonagall) for characters or tri-wizard tasks? or do we list it on our spreadsheet at maze?

Next TriW genre is Crime.

now on SS...I don't think there's enough for a BR on this one Chava...I loved this book!
Sorry I haven't been posting on here a lot lately. I finished a lot of my books that I had before July so now i'll be focusing on the ones that I have now. I'm not sure if any of the books that I am currently reading will fit any of the challenges but I'll look over them and see if any of them fit over the next couple of days. I;ll be working every day this week so I won't be able to post until the evenings this week but next week is my last full week of work before I head to college so I'll have some time to finish some more books,

If you started any of those books after May 12, but finished them after you were assigned to the team, they can be counted for Tower. ;)

Great job Kate!
I am keeping an eye on it over there. Will let you all know when our turn is coming up again- probably later this evening or maybe early tomorrow. Depends on how fast the books go.

TW task
I feel like I'm on a reading high! I finished a book today for a TW task and did a quick audio for the TW Maze. Maybe it's leftover excitement from Harry Potter's birthday yesterday, lol. My daughter insisted we celebrate so we got ice cream :)
I feel like I dived into the deep end of the reading pool! So glad you jumped in for the maze!
I'm on the list too Kate...my most likely time available is morning or evening. I don't like to, but I can be a speed reader...left overs from college. Thanks!

Me too! It's probably the only real skill I've kept from graduate school (well that and random pieces of knowledge!).

I can barely keep up with the maze. Where are we up to? When is it our turn?
Chava wrote: "I can barely keep up with the maze. Where are we up to? When is it our turn?"I think the turns have gotten a little mixed up! Looks like Sci-Fi is up for grabs. (Moving north or west)
Yes, the turns are all mixed up. It's somewhat of a free-for-all in terms of books because the of the need to move as quickly as possible. It's confusing!
I can get one done tonight if we still need it

I’ll move it to one of the other books for now...this is tough...all 4 books read for one task to count. I think pointwise TW yields us more points than characters, but it’s tough...
I’m thinking we need a bunch of shorter books in order to get this one done...
Ashley - do you think
works for an eerie cover?

Scifi-> Aliens MPG if we still need that for maze.
Has E in author, so vowel for spells if not.
Could maybe work for Tri-Wi- Read a book with a sword on the cover (although the sword is only partly visible, so maybe not)
Maybe also Tri-Wi - Read a book with a predominately purple cover.

I’m think purple unless someone else has a purple cover
We need to get these 1st tasks done to move on,,,
Also, I have to read this
tomorrow and give it back to the library. Maybe it can go for Read a book with woods on the cover?

btw, just as a side note, if people want to join in the maze reading, we need to finish books fast. There's some rather snarky comments on that thread about me taking too long for this book. I am personally bowing out of the maze as I am reading for fun and really didn't appreciate some of the comments. I will be concentrating on our stuff for our Minerva team.

Agree Chava. I want you to know that I think what you have contributed over this challenge has been nothing short of amazing! I was frustrated to see those as well.
