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

Round 3:
Book:What the Dead Know
How the book qualified: the dead
Pages: 381
Date read: 11/17/'20.
Rating: 3*
Nouns: sisters (precis), bodies (precis), witness (precis), mystery (genre), family (genre)

Okay, no problem :) Everything will do for me.

Book Reserve:
The best part about Novel Kingdom is their fabulous research department. They've constructed a Tote of Infinite Books and handed them out to all the new recruits. This allows you to store up any books you've read until you're ready to use them. Just keep them listed at the bottom of your adventure log until they're applied to a task.

Thanks, Zuzana, It is very helpfull. I'm going to read it and see if I understand it.

Okay, I think I understand: so I can sign up for the whole challenge, but only for the Apprenticechip Scheme I need to pair up?
