HA! For once I was smart and saved them for emergencies ;)

Camilla wrote: "I'll commit to finishing these (unless something more urgent pops up):
First Light for 0.5, will finish this evening
Mississippi DEAD for two D's in the title
[book:..."

Wow C! That is great :D I'll arrange in the spreadsheet now. It looks like we'll have some good choices ! Not sure of Fandury's final decision , so maybe she can comment.

If I can suggest you start with First Light, Mississippi dead and Red the First before starting the H. Although , as they are mostly shorties, we will have flexibility.

I'm picking up the scraps after all have picked. For the 600+, I'll use a travel agent book. We still have 11 to use ;)

Camilla wrote: "I'm a bit reluctant about the ladder card... If we had more time, I think we could manage it, but we only have three days. Especially since it's five books."

Agreed, I'll discard and we'll get a new one this afternoon (here) , the mods have been issuing twice daily.

I've moved your red book to the under 200 pages slot.

Spreadsheet updated :D

Aww! Thanks Emily :) been lots of fun! Maybe there will be another challenge that we meet in again in the future .

Night Falls
Task: spear on cover

Mother of Eden
Task: not yet slotted for anything, it doesn't really fit any of the currently open tasks."

I'll bank Mother of Eden, it's over 400 pages , so it's worth 2 Gold! That can be better than using for a card sometimes.

Thanks Poongothai for updating the spreadsheet!
I've added my book for a book under 200 pages, and will have listened to that by this afternoon.
I'm reading for the other card as well.

Thanks everyone for the posts! I appreciate the Rally :D

We got those 2 new cards and I would love to do that ladder card! It is a bit tedious but that Greater Damage Potion cannot be purchased, it would be great for a battle against a big monster.

Ladder works with over lapping letters from end to beginning of a title (minimum of three letters)
Example:
Title 1: His Lonely Heart
Title 2: Art for the Blind
Title 3: Indeed I was Pleased with the world.

***Ultimately it is a specific title relay, and i get it if we can't complete it.... 5 books will be hard to link :(

Beyond the Grave by Jude Watson

Less than 200 pages - 190 pages"

Got it, I've put it under the card 1 for ~Read a book under 200 pages, it might also fit the Gold Cover. (the first task) It looks pretty gold and that's a harder one to find ;)
Good Job!

last post, i promise

I'm reading Time's Echo for 1 of the 3 books for ~~~~Read a book that is in-between series numbers. i.e. #6.5 or #2.1 in a series.

UPDATE AGAIN

Battles completed
Cards discarded

I discarded the easy cards, as the small experience payout is terrible. I say read for the remaining cards. If you don't like those, read anything! I will exchange for gold to buy more potions and such.

PRIORITY READS

~Read a book that is in-between series numbers. i.e. #6.5 or #2.1 in a series.
~Read a book that is in-between series numbers. i.e. #6.5 or #2.1 in a series.
~Read a book that is in-between series numbers. i.e. #6.5 or #2.1 in a series.

I've kept the other card, the experience helps because we need 118 points to get to the next level.

~Gold to Buy Horse - Read a book with a mainly gold cover or one set in an era where gold is used as the main currency.
~Riding Clothes - Read a book under 200 pages.
~Riding Clothes - Read a book under 200 pages.
~Riding Clothes - Read a book under 200 pages.
~Horseshoes - Read a book with horses as a main part of the story or one set on a farm.
~Horse Armor - Read a book over 600 pages.
~Saddle - Read a book that has 2 d's in the title.
~Sugar for Treats - Read a book that's sweet (chic lit, romance, cozy mystery, etc.)
~Apples for Treats - Read a book with a mainly red cover or one featuring a teacher.
~Carrots for Treats - Read a book where someone dangles a reward to get someone else to do something.
~Hay for Feeding - Read a book with the title starting with the letter H.
~Bribe for the Stable Master to allow you to pick your horse - ~Read a book where someone takes or gives a bribe or where the main character is a thief.

Last to keep in mind We have 11 Travel Agent books remaining to use. If I exchanged 11 of them for over 400 pages, that's 22 gold.

Good night all!

TEAM MEETING

Hey gang.... I'm a bit hand tied at this point. We need to have more books read in order to move anywhere further in this game. I'm a bit frustrated and cross eyed from reading.

Here's the deal, We are doing okay with experience and leveling up our hero. In order to do that we need experience. We are so high up that the only way to do that is to fight the boss monsters. However! At this time, I would use about 25-30 GOLD per monster to heal during battle. That means I could fight 1 or 2 monsters and we are broke.

I can fight the little monsters, but they just hit down our HP and leave us damaged to fight the big monsters and really earn exp.

We can continue filling cards, but the ones with 4 or 5 experience and 1 gold are pointless. Easy, but get us nowhere.
We can continue filling cards that reward us with potions and shields, but they tend to be harder reads.

We can read and just earn gold, yet Gold can't buy some of the stronger potions.

SO! I'm asking for everyone to put on their reading hats and get busy! PLEASE finish 1 or 2 more books in the next 3 days. Short ones are suggested! Let's try to fill those slots on our planning sheet and I'll turn 400+page books in for gold.

My next plan of action is to fight another boss monster, it will drain our gold. But we can't keep up at this pace. Wish me luck...

All input is welcome.....

Ha! That is creative ;)

Some Die Eloquent by Catherine Aird

Spell-out: A or S"

Great Jackie! I'm going to bank yours to see which letter is completed next. Then I'll rearrange to fill the card. Tasia's book can fit R or A; yours A or S. I should finish mine in the next hour. Then Once this card is finished I'll try to battle another Boss monster. That will push our hero up one level.

K, added to spreadsheet:)

Hey All!

Update........ 3 days 21 hours left. Read any book you can, shorties would be great. We can always use them for gold.

I have discarded the ladder and inflation cards. There is no way we can get those together and read in time... So I am hoping for more spell it outs. Otherwise we can exchange for gold.

Still needed:

Spell it out R or A (we have some flexibility in this card)

Questions???
