Michelle’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

Anything you think is too tough, or will take too long, we should discard to try and get monsters to fight. At least that's my opinion!

I almost think dump cards 3 & 4 and take our chances and knock out 1 & 2. Fewer experience points for those but much faster to complete.

Thoughts?

How is everyone doing? You are all so quiet these last few days!

Here's what we need to level up our weapon:

Haha!

LOL. The voices ARE real, Abbie!

The points are a formula based on our level, how much gold we have, and how many things we have in our inventory. If we use potions, our points go down. If we spend gold, our points go down.

Basically we need to build our attack and HP quickly so we don't have to use our gold or inventory to fight. The stronger our hero, the more points we get. That's why our series books are so important. But it's a balancing act, because we have to do the task cards and fight monsters to increase our level.

They both benefit us. The series books increase our attack number, making our hits against monsters stronger. The tasks help us level up our health so we can fight longer and take more hits from the monsters.

I personally want to hit hard and do more damage, so the series reads help there.

Discarding that ladder card! We are over those tasks. :)

Sorry everyone, crazy day today!

Berit, we can use your book there but I think the set 100 years ago will be harder to fill. Anyone else have a U that works?

Those monsters get easier to defeat as we level up our weapon, so all series numbers are needed and appreciated, but especially 6-14 right now. Go crazy, team!

Current book needs:

Series! So important to our attack, so keep reading.
We need #9 and #10 for level 10. Louise is reading these now.
We need #6-#11 in series for our level 11 weapon. If you have higher series numbers, now is the time to break those out.

Three current cards for tasks:

Fighting monsters--we're rolling now!

Yay--spell outs are great for us! Let's keep this one.

Berit, your book looks good! Did you like it? It will work for the 100 years ago task so I will put it there.

Great--I will finish a #7 tonight. Short quick read!

I think we should discard that card and take a chance for a new monster. What do you think?

I am moving a couple of books around to finish another card. We need to get #7, #9, and #10 completed in series to level up our weapon right now.

I think I have finally figured it out. I was brain blocking it for some reason. Now I feel more confident.

Clouds should count, right? They are way up there!

It's a gamble, but I say discard and hope for an easy monster fight!

Only one experience for three books? What do you guys think?
