Joining in for the first time and looked with cheeks red of shame at my TBR - list. I've got a couple of books from 2013 and then a lot from 2017 that needs to be read, so I see what I shall read and other I'll delete.

I think, if I'm sure, we've abandonned the Haitian books and going for the neighbours?

For task 8: maybe a quest where we need to capture wild horses?Their roaming free and eating all the vegetables of the villagers?

Okay, than I go for Moonrise

These picks would qualify, but I've read them already some time ago. I don't think we can use that if they are already finished and I won't be rereading them. I'm currently reading another book from the Warrior Cats - series and I can finish it by the end of the week.

I haven't read anything with neighbours being friends. It's all the same for me, but not about Haïti. What would be the random read?

Hi Zuzana, sorry that I've been missing. I've had a busy couple of days and I've been abandonning some books that I didn't like, but I'm working on the task. I'm not always the fastest reader. I've got an idea for a quest that I'm thinking about. For the words I can do ROLE, but another word is fine. For #10 I can reread the book Warcross

Sorry, it seems that I won't have time to read my book. It's been very hectic the last weeks. If someone els can read a book?

I'm posting my favorite quote that I keep in mind as a New Year's resolution for next year:

That will be a huge job. I was allready doing that, but for 1 book I deleted, 3 comes back ;)

Thanks for the tip, Lady Louise! I've read 'One of us is lying' and that was so good!

I'm starting somewhere next week. I've finished other books first.

Congratulations, Jackie!
And thanks, Zuzana, you're a great help :)

I've did task 2 : 'say hello in the local tavern': message 8938.

Hi everyone, just stopping by for some ginger ale and some delicious stew. As a newbie it's hard, but I slayed some monsters, being no fond of rats! Now my horse can get some rest and leaving the tavern after a good sleep.
