Congrats Teresa!!! I also have tons of drop bear meat (hint hint for a new quest)

I haven't done a BOM in a while, but these just happened to line up with 2 books I really wanted to read.

When the challenge starts I'll be reading
and probably dying haha. I can't even wait for this to come out!!!
I'm also planning to join in the discussion of
(which I incidentally already have from the library) and
which has been on my TBR soon list.

Hi team! I'm Rebecca from NJ in the USA and I'm excited to start! My shelf will be

. I tend to have both an ebook I'm reading and an audiobook for my commute.
I will be away for the start of the challenge (just for a few days), so my first week will be slow, but I will pick it up after that (and have a 3 hour train ride for un-interupted reading on the way there)!! I have a bunch of friends getting married this year so my weekends will be filled with events and hopefully reading!

For the slingshot and "books that start with Y" can we ignore words like A/The in front?

True, but if you have a door stopper you want to read, you might as well save it for Tower Teams."I have a big ole book I've been waiting to read so this seems like a great opportunity!

I can read whatever I want, but its a team challenge so there's motivation to read more (and now be as much of a tv-couch potato).

Yayyyy I'm so excited!! My reading has dropped so dramatically recently and I'm hoping this can help me step it up! And it's been sooooo long since I've done a challenge.

This is super random, but I never realized that the Jabberwocky was an Alice in Wonderland / Lewis Caroll reference. But now I'm reading Heartless by Marissa Meyers (about the queen of hearts) and I'm like OOOHHHH I get it now.

I wish I had started a staff instead, but it's too late for me now so I have to continue on.

I'm also holding off on a sword upgrade because ugh I can't commit to those super large books right now haha.
I'm working on activating the gems and also my puppy int attack instead of the sword.

WOOOOOHOOOOOOO

OMG WOW!! You guys are amazing. I never thought we would ever truly defeat him!! Mwahahahha

Or a potion that lets you raise your max HP by a significant amount for one battle or one week or something. I think the max HP is the most inhibitive thing with the unreachable levels.
Also I have no big attacks planned for the dragon so that's amazing!
