has Y character, but is used for R. I can find another R easier than Y."

Done

Maddy wrote: ""Between the shades of gray" had a U character. If you can still edit, you can switch it with the "Draagon's thief " that has S."

Also done!

Okay...this is what we have now;


S - Power Score Author - Chava
E - Hard to Handle Author - Karen

Part Time Cowboy - Mary YMSE
The Essex Serpent - Kate ESR

So do I still need to read an O book? I changed my I book, I'm halfway through The Island of Dr. Moreau

Finished my last task book, which I think is the last task book outstanding.

1st Wizard's Chess book in HP & the Sorceror's Stone.

Listening to an audio book that I will finish today. It covers Y if it's still needed.

I updated names on the SS for Part-Time cowboy. I was reading it for a Y but I see Natesha just finished a Y book. But I don't know what other letters hers works for, hopefully there's an O in it. There isn't one in mine so far. I don't think I'll have time to finish an additional book.

Mary, I'm looking at the spreadsheet and it looks like we only need one more O which is being read by Kate. I think that's the case at least, it looks like Tammie read a book that was used for the other O.

Just finished my I book!

I read late and got up early. Tired but am available to try and finish a letter that we need finished. Will go and look and see what we need.

*Update - am I right in reading that we do not need anything else?

Just in case and since I am off work today and can finish it before 5PM CST (when the challenge ends) I am going to read The Essex Serpent. Theoretically could go for E, S, or R if we still needed any letters. Otherwise I'm just going to enjoy reading! :)

Kate, I *think* everything is either completed or claimed. Emphasis on think :) I'm hoping for Tammie or Ashley to pop in and confirm but it all looks in order.

Date complete 08/31/18

Faster read than I thought it would be. Also odder than I thought it would be but really enjoyable. Will put characters, etc in just in case it is needed.

Been great playing with you all this summer, it was my first time in a challenge and even though it took up more time than I thought it would (*cough*quidditch*cough*) I was able to read widely and got to know other people who love to read as much as I do.

Going out with a whopper!!

I finished Power Score for S 2 days ago. Did it not come up on the thread? I hope you can still add or update

Just 2 TW tasks and 2 letters shy of 100%...Ashley may have a few things left to enter.
The Canadian Rockies are keeping me from reading much this week...such a beautiful area.
It’s been a blast competing with you all! I’m going to keep checking in for our final results...looks like Gryffindor might get the House cup! It close...

On the spreadsheet it had looked like all the task books were done. At least when I looked on Thursday before I picked my last book.

I can't find it on the thread or in your read books - can you please repost?

I'm missing the justification for;
Read a book with a seer/fortune teller character House of Whispers
Read a book where a long lost sibling is discivered The Language of Thorns

Does anyone know what they are? Character names?

Looked Inside a paperback on Amazon Kindle...House of Whispers- Ellie is seer as she can see/communicate with ghosts

Language of thorns...I found this passage in google books but have run out of time to figure out the name of the sister...
*But they also loved their youngest sister dearly. As soon as they found her missing and a golden feather on the chair, they guessed what had happened, for they had seen plenty of the world. They saddled their horses and rode all day and all ...

On 8/9 Jenn posted this :
I think you used my book The Language of Thorns for bird on the cover...but it might be better for

Read a book where a long lost sibling is discovered

Also Before I let Go would work for
Read a book where the main character "goes home again"

House of Whispers has psychics and has the ghost of spiritualists and a psychic cult. One of the spiritualist ghosts did fortunes and mediumistic type things for clients. Would that work for
Read a book with a seer/fortune teller character

In Language of thorns in addition the passage commented there is a character who discovers she has a brother she didn’t know about. It’s in the chapter with the sea people

In the Ellie Jordan books the character Jacob is the psychic

I understand the challenge is officially over...results may take a 'few days'...hopefully you all will continue to check in to see how things lined up :)

We did awesome either way ;)
Pleasure reading with you,teammies :)

Had a great time, everyone!

Great reading with you guys, although I'm not the most "vocal" I still like reading with others.

Awesome time, awesome team! I kind of have no idea what to read now lol

Wherever we land in the final rankings, I think we all did a great job. This was my favorite round of Tower Teams so far.

This was so much fun! Great job everyone!!

Thanks everyone. I really enjoyed being part of this group
