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

I would guess so, but maybe keep it to MCs.

I'll read Summerlong then. I can do Sweep in Peace for acceptability, but I'll try find a non-series option.

So would this be correct (assuming these are the tasks)

• Ubiety - the quality or state of being in a place
Karen Michele - Another Brooklyn - Book set in Brooklyn at specific time period

• Perpetuity - the state or quality of lasting forever
Cassie - Timeless - Book title

• Palatability - the property of being acceptable to the mouth
Karen Michele Nutshell - poison plot with a character who loves to drink a certain type of smoothie - DONE

• Acceptability - the quality or state of meeting one's needs adequately

• Isotropic - having a physical property that has the same value when measured in different directions
Natalie - Either my Summerlong idea (post #3893) if people think it works or Winter Oranges

• Uniformity - always the same, as in character or degree; unvarying
Kelly - Usher's Passing - The Usher family has been the same for generations: same grand estate, same businesses, same strange illness, same extreme wealth

• Adaptability - capable of being adapted

Round object on cover - same in all directions :)

This might also help"

It does. I did not get a cover item from Read a book where the plot, a main character, or other large apsect of the book reflects the words definition. It sounded like it has to be more significant than that.

Morgan finished it. Though she doesn't give reasons:
✓ Ubiety How to Say Goodbye in Robot -- Natalie Standiford [5/30/15]
✓ Perpetuity The Dangers of Dating a Rebound Vampire [7/5/15]
✓ Palatability Passion Unleashed -- Larissa Ione [7/9/15]
✓ Acceptability Alex + Ada, Vol. 1 [7/30/15]
✓ Isotropic Fairest [8/5/15]
✓ Uniformity Touching Darkness -- Scott Westerfeld [7/4/15]
✓ Adaptability Nimona [7/5/15]

Tea did two more:
✓ Ubiety - the quality or state of being in a place
Disasterology 101 by Taylor V. Donovan - 07.05.16 - ★★★★ - MC is OCD so everything is exactly where it needs to be

✓ Isotropic - having a physical property that has the same value when measured in different directions
Winter Oranges by Marie Sexton by Marie Sexton - 07.01.16 - ★★★

Though she also didn't give a reason for isotropic :P

I couldn't find the quest on Zuzana and RebeccaS's pages

Idea for isotropic! A book with one cover? So it's the same no matter how you look at it? I have Summerlong.

I think I saw somewhere that the quests may be changed from the original version. I did find it:

Ubiety in Perpetuity
The local librarian (a powerful political position in Novel Kingdom) is walking around looking frazzled in the tavern. You gently take the book out of his hands and notice it's a dictionary. You ask him what the problem is. "I just can't find the word I'm looking for! Property of something or other!" You calm him down and assure him that you'll help find the word he's looking for.

Read a book where the plot, a main character, or other large apsect of the book reflects the words definition.
• Ubiety - the quality or state of being in a place
• Perpetuity - the state or quality of lasting forever
• Palatability - the property of being acceptable to the mouth
• Acceptability - the quality or state of meeting one's needs adequately
• Isotropic - having a physical property that has the same value when measured in different directions
• Uniformity - always the same, as in character or degree; unvarying
• Adaptability - capable of being adapted

Read 3 books for 4 experience.
Read 5 books for 7 experience.
Read all 7 books for 10 experience and 1 Heal Potion.

I have yet to find anyone who has finished it. Tea finished two of them. She used Clean Sweep for Acceptability (who hasn't read it?) and Station Eleven for Adaptability.

I was trying to look up the quest for card 2, but the original version has 7 tasks and I'm not sure if they are missing from our card or it's an easier version. For the other two tasks:

1. Ubiety - the quality or state of being in a place
- Maybe a book about a specific location (a la London), but something shorter. I didn't really enjoy that one. Or Room? I already read it recently so I can't reread for it.

2. Perpetuity - the state or quality of lasting forever
Vampire book? I can find one.

I still have my The Star Scroll book if we want to go for the second Stars task. I think we should do card 2 for the experience, but not complete it until after we beat the monster so it will refill our health. Most of the quests were based on the single player game so I'm going to see if I can find people who have completed the quest for book ideas.

It can be the same series, but doesn't have to be. So if you want to marathon through one go for it!

If you don't mind. I have to start dinner, and when you're done just email to me again and I'll get it sent to the mods.
