Aha, I thought you made it for me, but wasn't sure, so I've tried it.

I'm not sure if this is right?

That's an example of a battle, right?

4) Read a book with the word rabbit in the title or series.
5) Read a book featuring chocolate or where the main character is a pastry chef.
6) Read a book set during Spring.
7) Read a book with an invasion in it.
8) Read a book where the main character is a doctor or vet.

My message 13 has crossed yours ;)

For the Welcome Basket, these are random books that I've read the last 12 months and then I can use them to level up my weapons?
And to go to the next level, how many XP is needed?

If I understand correctly, the books in my Welcome Basket I can use them also for quests?

Sorry for the many questions...

I've forgot the first task: Hi, Suzana! Sorry, lame joke ;)
So, I've completed 2 tasks and that gives me 2XP?
I've got some books selected for the rabbit task. Can I put them here to have an overview?

Round 3: final
Adjective: sultry
Final noun: bodies

Spreadsheet is updated.

Aha, I understand now :)
It's very interesting and quite big!

So, if I understand correctly: I can use the books that I've allready started before the game (and finish later) to level up, but not for the quests?

Normally I read around 5 to 10 books a month, but I'm not a fast reader.

I'll see what my options are for the rabbits.

Thanks for helping me, Zuzana :)

Okay, I think I'll do a mix, because I'm reading series as well too. Can the books be used to spell out the words in point 7?
Can I also use books that I've started?

Thanks for making it :)

I'm going for An Untamed State
