I'm confused about this one. When I sort my list, the numbers in front of the books doesn't change at all.

Yes I really struggle with that. I didn't love the book and also got a bit bored with it. I wonder if I read it rather than listened I would like it more.....but I suspect not.

Woooo welcome Joyce and LaLine!! Here's an ale on the house. Pull up a chair and hear our adventures.First, make yourself a thread where you can record your tales of questing and monster battles.
I would start with looking over the quests (especially the new January ones) and picking one or more than you would like to do. These will get you experience points and sometimes a little extra (like a potion)
If you're hoping to start battling some monsters, work on your sword and/or staff. These are a good way to use up some books that may not fit for a quest.
Come here to the tavern with ANY question you might have....big or small!
Congrats Jacki! A magnificent horse!
So in Birdbox a group of people live in a house together. And they have birds and a couple dogs. Don't know if that counts or not.
Loving the new update. Happy new year!
Oh nooooo I totally forgot (already) that it's not December anymore!!
Also I will finish a 870 page book Sunday if we will want to double the points.
Congrats TC!That's awesome that we can use books we've already ready for the spell it out. That will be a good way to use some that don't seem to fit any goals.
Ohhhhhh goodness Teresa how cute!!!
