Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

Gryffindor keeper Teddie almost slips off her broom but, in a happy twist of fate, stops the quaffle with her elbow.

Teddie reads The Last Boyfriend to break the quaffle, L.

Suzanne wrote: " And the Gryffindor Quaffle is broken!

Suzanne finished (finally!) The Last Man, read by Shannon for the letter Q."

L maybe?

And the Gryffindor Chasers want to thank Suzanne for breaking the Chain.that.was.not.in.alphabetical.order.and.no.one.noticed.

We think our brains are all a little jiggly from all this flying around and continuous bludgering. We’re heading to Madam Pomfrey for some tonic. ;)

Chaser chain #13
Motorcycle Man

Score: Hufflepuff 60, Griffies 70"

just doing some admin - Sandy was overexcited after that Slave to Sensation BR-gone-bad, and skipped a couple of numbers.

Motorcycle Man should have been Huffle Chain 11.

Lol I broke a mislettered chain with a mislettered book - thats pretty classic :) - Oops. I Tired brains :) And yeah it was supposed to be for L :) I'll enjoy sharing that Pomfrey tonic with you.

Lol and in Sandy's defense, it FELT like chain 13.

Postings last night got very silly!

Katie & I remain glad that the only person to see our slapstick posting last night was Danielle. I've been giggling all day today over it :)

Lol! It was rather epically awful. :P

Katie wrote: "Lol! It was rather epically awful. :P"

it was your wail of anguish "we've got to get our sh!t together!" - and it still took about two more attempts to get it right!

*giggling to myself. again*

I was laughing watching you both last night.

Quaffle H6

Sandy rootled around in her mending box, and found what looks like an old, tattered piece of leather. She shrugs, decides it'll be good enough, and slaps it over the slow leak. One glue charm later: fixed quaffle!

We were too quick for you there our energies are high

Not mine! I'm still not sure about letters in the alphabet today :).

True that. I’m not a before noon person. It takes me a long while to get all my facilities in working order. So I’ve still got at least an hour before my brain finally agrees it is awake. Lol!

Whew! that was a flurry of activity! Should we check that everyone's still got all their fingers, toes, nose & broom bristles?!

Well played all!

"dabbing some vanilla scented perfume on her pubes"

True story

Gryffindor Beater

Judith is feeling idle on the sidelines so she hops on her broom to go after Talia with Banking on Death (same book)

Lol and here I thought maybe you'd read a baking book. Should have known...

I kinda wish I never asked now! *shudder* I feel unclean!

The world of Chaser / Beater books is very very very strange!

Honestly I feel a bit unclean myself. . .

Danielle defends Victoria with Haunted In Death and dusts her off ready for the next flight

And she is straight back on her broom to defend Talia Death Cursed

And more Hufflepuff action
