Steven (gallifreyan1218) | 5186 comments Haha, I'll try to post a few when I get home. I don't have space on my profile to add any more, so I'll have to make a thread and find an upload host or something.

Steven (gallifreyan1218) | 5186 comments I want to go back. The food at the Three Broomsticks was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good. And they had the best lemonade at Three Broomsticks I've ever had anywhere.

My partner really enjoyed the pumpkin juice!!!

Oh, and I did NOT care for Butter Beer.

ilovebakedgoods (Teresa) (ilovebakedgoods) | 226 comments I want to go to Disney World next year and of course, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is a must-see for me! My husband hasn't read the books but he likes the movies, my son should read the books but has yet to and he also likes the movies. I won't have to browbeat anyone into going!

I want Hermione's wand, too.

If we start gathering money now do you think we can take our little princess there before she's old enough to go to college?

My daughter was chosen by Dumbledore's wand, and she has a customized, hand-carved wand too that she loves ... and a green light-saber ... and several katanas, including one from Bleach ... :)

Pumpkin juice and lemonade...that's almost worth the trip right there.
I love Harry Potter, so I have no idea how I completely missed the fact that there was a place out there called Harry Potter World. Sometimes I miss the obvious :)

Please raise Marcella's goal to 3000


message 567: by Leana (new)

Leana (Flickering Fandom) (flickeringfandom) | 264 comments Radical red have a few goal changes that I think Michelle is looking into at the moment.

Is there any way I could LOWER my goal? I know that's not the idea, but I've been really I'll the last few days with no sign of improvement this morning, so I'll be lucky to get any reading done at this rate!


message 568: by Ellinor (new)

Ellinor (1001andmore) Update for Team Magenta Mix-Up:

- Donna would like to increase her goal to 1000
- Ellinor would like to increase her goal to 1500
- Fairlee had to drop out of the RaT because she had to work more than previously expected. Shall we remove her from the RaT completely (i.e. also remove her 750 pages from the team total)?

I hope it's not too late for these changes!

Yes, since your goal for the Round II is 75, you can lower the goal to a minimum of 600 pages.
Is it doable to you? Or is it too much? You can use any book you have started before the RaT as long as you finish it during the event.

If the 600 pages is a number too high, you can still "drop out" from the RaT.

Let me know what you choose.

message 581: by Sonia (new)

Sonia (darktalynn) | 11599 comments I need to know goal, page read and cover and book theme (only needed a tick) for all members

Ah, and the team's goal too :)

Just to check if we have the right numbers


message 582: by Sonia (new)

Sonia (darktalynn) | 11599 comments @❀ Oo ❀

Okay, so I don't have to provide the specific book for the theme & book cover?
Exactly

Do you need the total team page goal in addition to the members page goal?
Yes
If members have exceeded their page goal, do you need to know by how much? No, just how many pages they read.
