Oh right, before I forget, here's the link to my shelf for TT9https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...
This book is one of my all-time favorite & I'm still having an internal debate if I want to do a re-read. Highly recommended for even the stone-hearted.
Hi everybody~ I'm Elli from Singapore.This is my first time participating in Tower Teams. I do solo challenges usually but started participating in more team challenges this year. The Uno challenge just ended and it made me all geared up for more! φ(゜▽゜*)♪
My favorite genres are fantasy and sci-fi, read mostly fiction and the occasional non-fiction.
The only Sanderson book I've read is The Emperor's Soul and it is really good! Maybe I'll finally start on the Stormlight Archive series this year but I have a bunch of books lined up to read first.. I have a TBR mountain waiting and it's growing faster than I can read.

You're all nuts! - Repeatable Quest
There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.
She had so many squirrels, she didn't know what to do.
She gave them some nuts without any thought;
And they rose up before her and started a coup.
Sitting sadly at a table in the tavern is an old lady missing all her nuts... or maybe she is totally nuts... it's hard to tell. She tells you a sad story about the loss of her home to a terrorist uprising. You decide that you might be able to evict some of those squirrels and reclaim their nuts to add to your own sense of sanity.
Quest may be repeated once each month. (Find Items Potion works for this quest.)
Spell out the word SHOE using spell-it-out rules to evict the squirrels for the month. They are persistent though and will reclaim the shoe at the 1st of each month.
(view spoiler)
Receive 3 nuts for evicting the squirrels.
