Mod
After hard day hunt, you enter into the Tavern looking forward to some cool ale and maybe some nice stew you know that's simmering in the back. After all it was you who brought rat meat for it. You're sitting at your table, drinking ale and thinking about quests that are waiting for you tomorrow, when you hear sniffle behind you. You turn around trying to find where the sound came from, but only Lady Kelly is sitting in that direction. You're little scared to approach her, after all she's the Master here, but your kind heart can't say no to damsel in distress. As you start approaching Kelly, you hear her muttering "They are gone. They are all gone. What am I supposed to do now?!" and she starts crying again. You sit beside her, offer her your not so clean handkerchief and ask her what's wrong. Through tears you find out that someone broke into her room and stole all her future quests.
"All future quests?! But how's that possible? There are no thieves in Novel Kingdom! I'll help you Lady Kelly. Don't worry, you'll have your quests back!?" you yell and storm out of Tavern to find a thief.
Tasks:
•Read a book where someone steals something
•Read a book where someone steals something
•Read a book where someone finds something

I think reading 4 books for mere 2 experience points is not worth it. I propose we discard Card 3. :D
sounds good Kathleen
I've just logged in on my computer. The google sheet hasn't loaded properly on my phone in over a week - it's stuck...Now that I can see it, all the spots look filled...
I have a suggestion. As it seems unlikely that we will read enough series books to go up another level - maybe we should use all our books to get new cards?
Do you have any books that are 6th-10th in a series? :D
We did that with some cards... The unfinished ones however are very specific like title with a heart, 3 in-between books...

I think that sounds good.
Finished Something Rotten, which could be used for "T" (character Thursday Next). Finishing Black Ribbon late tonight/tomorrow morning. Started The Empty Chair which could be used for "E", "R" (MC Lincoln Rhyme), or "A" (other MC Amelia Sachs). Will hold off on French Fried until we decide what to do with series/weapon.
I've finished Private Down Under which works for #7 in a series. Agh didn't like it at all - I think it was the narrator!
It looks like we will be able to get level 11 as well if you want to read French Fried for #9 in series?

Gonna start on The Secret Life of a Dream Girl which will work for either S from card 1 Straw ( title) or card 4 : t from triangle (author tracey deebs) it's only 219 pages so if i can finish it quickly will read Frost Like Night which is a book 3 for levelling up or for "R" in triangle (Author: sara Raasch)i think if we can go for triangle on card 4, it would be worth it as it is 10 experience points which is one whole level up :-)
