35559 The more the merrier. Lets all have a few drinks together in spirit, lol.

35559 Aaaah its Friday, I'm home from a long day at work.

I sneaked a few of the mini chocolate bars that are supposed to be for Halloween and poured myself a nice big glass of wine.

Looking forward to spending some quality time with my book tonight.

We can put it wherever you guys think best. I'm about 1/3 of the way in on my "itching to read" book and about 8 hours from finishing my #2 in series book.

35559 I don't understand why our cards keep re-generating. I was just discarding them so we could get new ones in the morning. Something may be up with the spreadsheet? Its been a long day though so I'm off to bed.

35559 If anyone has finished or finishes a book that they were "itching to read" my book Let's Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir can just been moved to the published in 2012 spot on the new card.

35559 As if we got the same card twice in a row within minutes of each other. LOL

I guess we should probably discard this one, and maybe the cats one tonight?

35559 I'm also gonna finish off Card 3. Minx's book Broken Bits which has less than 500 ratings is also #1 in a series and Bonita's book Second Chance Cowboy is under #1 in series spot and it has less than 500 ratings. So I'll get those switched and submit the card so we have lots of options to work on. This should level us up.

35559 I finished Into the Light which is AMAAAAZING!!!

If we use one of Minx's books from today in the conjunction spot we can finish off this card. What do you guys think?

35559 1. I don't know. The question has been asked by others as well but I haven't seen a response.

2. ARCs should be fine. There's no restriction on them anywhere else, so I don't see why they wouldn't be allowed in this case.

35559 I'm going to put Cora's book Maniac Magee in the classic/literary classic spot as that is harder to fill than the "A" spell-out.

It won the Newberry Award as well as numerous other children's awards, its more than 25 years old now, and its shelved as classics over 100 times.

35559 Submitted our Level 11 weapon. Woot woot! Our attack power is now at 21.

I like both of those new cards from this morning. They give good XP and each have a potion. And we haven't had a shield potion yet, that would come in handy. So I'm going to move them over to the planning sheet too.

35559 It is "A".

I checked the original task in the Quest folder and there they give more info on the requirements:

Here is the link to all the quests, although each one is under a spoiler so you have to look around to find the one you want sometimes:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

• Read a book with a single character in the title (Not A or I) B is for Burglar, X Marks the Scot
• Read a book with a greek letter in the title Alpha One, Omega Days
• Read a classic or literary classic
• Read a book with a preposition in the title
• Read a book with a conjunction in the title
• Read 2 books that have homophones of each other in them. (The Winter Sea and All the Light We Cannot See - Sea/See)

You guys have to watch this one. Does anyone remember this or was it just a Canadian thing?
