DQ's Day 3
Chapters 15 -22
11. I know this is much earlier in the book but it is bothering me. What is the significance of the Game playing - particularly Monopoly being compulsory at least every week?
• To be successful at games needs strategy and foresight, monopoly brings a financial aspect to it. Possibly preparing them for success in the business world.
12. What is Hayes hiding in his conversation with Gretchen? What does he owe her and do you think this is important ?
• I’ve already finished so I know the answer although I didn’t know at this point.
13. I like the point that Stevie makes about it being important to write everything down immediately. If you were Stevie and writing down what happened up to Hayes's death what would your list contain? What would be in your "brain attic" ?
Times, where everyone was, who talked to who and what about.
14. Solving Riddles is no more my forte than solving crime. So who can solve the riddle "What is always on a staircase but never on a stair?"
• Not sure, I did google it but don’t get it.
15. Stevie is worried that her parents are going to withdraw her from Ellingham. How would you react as a student and / or a parent in this situation?
• If I wanted to stay I’d plead my case

DQs Day 2 - Oct 17
Chapters 7 through 14
6.) What did you think of the yurt party? Anything or anyone peak your interest?
• This was intriguing, couldn’t work out its purpose.
7.) What do you think about the overall setup of the school? Would you of wanted to go to a school like this for your last two years of high school? Would you send you kid to a school like this (your real or nonexistent kid)?
• These are gifted kids and could be lost in a general school environment. I personally wouldn’t have liked to this type of school but if I had a kid and the opportunity was there I would send them if I thouit was in their best interest.
8.) The historic case seems very similar to the Lindbergh Baby case down to the multiple money drops, marked bills, questionable confessions, foreign suspects with limited English, random FBI agent involvement, and late introduction of the police. The biggest different is Iris being taken as well as Alice (plus Alice being 3). We now know what happened to Iris, do you think Alice has a parallel fate to the Lindbergh baby? Or do you think she's alive (or lived to adulthood anyway)?
• I’d like to think that Alice is alive, it would be interesting if we found out that she is related to one of the students.
9.) Do you think the Senator her parents work for is involved somehow, or just a red herring?
• I’ve reached the end. The Senator must be involved somehow.
10.) Any thoughts on David, what his deal is, and why he seems so familiar to Stevie?
• Reached the end so know the answer to this.

We need to swap a child for an adult. We've been inundated with kids

Thanks guys, for some reason I though each round was a month, not 4 weeks.
DAY 1 - CHAPTERS 1-61. Upon starting the novel an illustration of Ellingham and a copy of a letter sent on 8 April 1936 are the first things the reader sees before they start the text. Why do you think the author starts with these and how important will the setting of Ellingham be in the novel?
• I’m listening to the audio so no illustrations, the string I’d going to be very important.
2. We are firstly introduced to an intriguing character called Dottie who it seems unfortunately is not long for this world. It is just a case of wrong place, wrong time or do you think this scene will play a more important part in the resolution of the mystery?
• Not sure how but she will be important to the storyline.
3. There appears to be a dual timeline in the novel detailing past and present. Why has the author written it this way? Does it add to the present storyline getting a perspective on the events in the past?
• This is a popular plot-line in these types of novels. I like it, although I occasionally have to backtrack to double check what timeline we’re in.
4. First impressions of the present day characters? How do you think they will interact in solving the crimes both past and possibly present?
• I think as they realize they are suspects there will be a need to prove their innocence, either by working together or against each other.
5. In the past time line, Flora has secret information about Iris. Any ideas of the significance of the hidden compact in light of Iris and Alice's disappearance?
• Not a clue

I completely dropped the ball on this I've tried to fit as many books in as possible. Not sure why I thought this round ended on the 19th. Probably because I'd mixed it up with claiming the BOM for the round. Really sorry team. My messup has cost us points.

I thought the round ended on the 19th. If you could help

Do you have any preference?

I’ve read the beginners guide and there are some really good tips in there. I’ve picked out a few simple quests to work on and I definitely need a rabbit.
With the quest “The Sandwich is always Greener on the Other Side” do the tasks have to be done in order.
That is Author => Title => Spell-Out=> Series

Hello all Lady Louise here apprentice to Lady Catherine. Have been wandering around the kingdom leveling up my sword and Staff. Lucky I had as I came across a rat hiding in the sewers, and one nasty looking goblin. Going to kick back and relax a while before I go off questing.

Imp - 9/14/25
Quests In ProgressSuggested quests(view spoiler)[Some quests I recommend for newer players:
Should I Know This? (Repeatable every 3 months, ask 3 questions about the game in the Local Tavern and boom! You get 3 XP and 3 Gold for that)
The Future Present is Now (Nice number of books/reward ratio, for only 3 books you get 5 XP and a Potion Token)
The Blackest Eye (once you start killing Drop Bears this quest is a must: 5 XP and 3 Potion Tokens)
The Hairstyle Theft (only 3 books and 6 XP and 1 Potion Token? Fantastic reward!)
Robbing Robin Hood (once you start killing Brown Bats)
✔️ The Easter Bilby (to get a pet, your very own bunny, that brings you 1 chocolate egg every Sunday. The egg will heal you for 3 HP)
More Berries (turn it in only when you're in need of instant healing so you take advantage of that + 10 HP bonus)
Teach a Knight to Fish - Part 1 (Spell out ROD for quick and easy 10 XP)
Barbie's Ken (if non-fiction is your jam)
Cheaters Sometimes Prosper (because it's not only quick and easy but super fun - and demands you must cheat)
The Academy - part II
The Academy (now this quest is expired - you can still complete it if you use a Timewalking Potion. Luckily, it's been included in your Welcome Basket - so take advantage of that).
Santa's Little Helper (in December - Santa's Coupon is a fantastic reward)
Stick to your New Year's Reading resolutions - do the easiest tasks (2, 6, 8) (hide spoiler)]Completed Quests⚔️
