Katie's looking a bit frazzled, and she's muttering something about ... Hawaii. I hope she's talking about defending Sandy and not about leaving for a holiday!

Katie's reading Hawaii - same book

Judith is going after Victoria by reading The Back-Up Plan, she is ready to knock out her from broom



*Don't forget that Talia is out until she is saved

oooh! point of order! are those the same word????

I'd argue not: the authors made decisions : backup v Back-Up....

I was assuming the word was the same.

But if it's a problem because it's seen as a different word, I'm happy to read the shorter book and knock her off even faster.

too late! switching books :) I wouldn't want to break any rules.

tsk tsk only cry rule braking when it works in your favor :P

I didn't cry rule breaking! I raised a point of order as I've not come across the issue before, so was seeking clarity one way or the other!

Tammie had very good time in the sun, so she successfully knocked out SandyL from her broom with Hawaii(same book) 6/26/18

E Elizabeth and the Call of Dragons Shannon

Score: Hufflepuff 80 - Gryffindor 90

Talia looks like she's plunging to her death, after the bludger knocked her too far off-balance. All the watchers have pounding hearts as they watch Danielle streak to rescue her

Danielle's saved Talia, finished Death Cursed

At the other side of the arena...

The coach is relieved to see that Katie's mind was on her team, not holidays!


Katie's rescued Sandy, finished Hawaii

And sneaking up the middle....

GOAL!!!!


Chaser Chain Number 14
F - Falling for the Backup - 112 pages - Victoria
G - Gumballs and Murder - 116 pages - Talia
H - Hawaii- 108 pages - Sandy L

90 all

=====
Edit: fix the book link formatting

Danielle wants to know where Shannon's dragon shifter sex books are coming from - be a pal & share the list?

Meanwhile, Danielle's going to try and wrest the book-quaffle from her hands: she's reading Elizabeth and the Call of Dragons (same book) to attack Shannon

Uh-oh! looks like Suzanne's on the rampage! She's flipped out, and is battering that quaffle as if it were a boxing training ball.... it's in pieces!

Suzanne finished Flipped Out 304 pages, read for F by Donna


edit: those pesky booklinks again!

Katie's caught sight of Victoria, being harried by a bludger, and waving wildly for some backup to stop her falling....

Yup, Katie's reading Falling for the Backup to defend Victoria from the vanilla-scented, rule-abiding Judith :)

Just over 24hrs till the snitch is released......!

Is it weird to say that I hope they don't find it tooo quickly - this game's been fun! (says the non-reader!)

Cat (cat_uk) | 10108 comments Mod
I don't know about you Gryffs, but I'm bowled over by how many pages & books the team's read in 3 & bit days:

60 books and over 13000 pages!

That's 8 people! Super-readers!

Lol! They are thinking of making round 3 even shorter! Fast & Furious. I am actually going to kind of miss it! Apparently I’m a glutton for punishment.

Lol Cat!

I’m still not sure how Jenny talked me into this. But it is certainly a crazy ride.

And while I’m bummed our quaffle is broken, I’m not sad it happened before Shannon was knocked from her broom and therefore no longer required my defense by having to read that book. Although it had a rating of 4 Stars so maybe I missed out

Shannon: me too! I think it should be made a regular sub-challenge for the big team challenges :)

Say you'll make it so! g'wan g'wan g'wan!

Hope you all are aware you've ruined vanilla for me forever

It’s just us. Apart from Tea taking to the skies in her jammies this morning, they are being terribly sedate & sensible. Certainly they’re not sledging like us!
