CARD 1
Wandering about nearby woods you find Sir Zee sitting on the fallen tree and looking up. You sit by her and try to find what's keeping her so transfixed. You see tiny dots high, high above in the sky. "Don't you think it would be great if we could fly?" Sir Zee says. You look at her strangely, but make no comment. "Just think. You are up there. Wind is blowing in your feathers. You can see so far away and you are free to go where you want." You look again at those dots in the sky, not really thrilled with Zee's idea. You really prefer standing on firm ground. "Oh, and do you know what would be even better?!" Zee looks at you, eyes shining with excitement. "Just when you reach that perfect speed and perfect height, you stop. No flapping your wings or anything. Just let gravity do it's business. Oh it would be such great rush!" You smile at Sir Zee patronizingly and hoping she doesn't notice you turned little green at her great idea.

[Eldarwen]

Right, ladies!!

Above are the 5 cards we get for this first day. Have a look, see what you can do read for.

If there's a card you would like to discard, speak up!

Any card discarded today, or finished today, will be replaced at 11am London time tomorrow. (I.E. in 25 hours from now, if my maths is correct - I hate maths, btw ;-))

[Eldarwen]

Do not start reading for these books right away.

Emerge starts in 1 hour and 10 (or so) minutes. So please do not start your books for the above tasks before that deadline. Thanks! :-)

[Ghost in the Stacks]

I was like WTH...but it makes more sense when I see the spreadsheet

[Ghost in the Stacks]

It starts in 12 minutes!!!!

Perfect timeing as I can start during my ironing!!!!!

Put me down for an R for The spell out.

[Ghost in the Stacks]

Only one I dont understand is card 3, what do we do with the sewer rat??

Any card discarded today, or fi..."


I knew we were going to have a but-ton of task...this was why I didn't want to back myself into a corner with those series!!!

[Ghost in the Stacks]

Okay let me go iron and get ready for work.

[Ghost in the Stacks]

I am assuming for spell outs we can ignore the usual A,An, The?

[Eldarwen]

Now the real question is.... do we fight the monster right away to complete that card, or do we level up our weapon first? ;-)

Might be safer to get a weapon level or two first before we start hitting things hehe.

What do you think?

[VNerdbooks]

yes level up a few 1st i think

[Ghost in the Stacks]

I am good with whatever...I am still a little foggy with that part, but I am sure it will become more clear in a few days.

[Ghost in the Stacks]

Abbie wrote: "I am assuming for spell outs we can ignore the usual A,An, The?"

If so, you all can put me down for E in the spell out as well.

Oh sorry, that post didn't show for me earlier o.O
But yes, A/An/The can be ignored for the spell-out.

Done!

[Ghost in the Stacks]

Where is everyone this morning???

[Eldarwen]

Hiding under the covers?

[Ghost in the Stacks]

Must be, usually I am trying to play catch up with you all at this point.

[Eldarwen]

Haha, true! You've been up quite early today - or so it seemed.

[K~Terror]

Good morning! Just checking in before I log onto work... Finished a book this morning and signed up for a couple of the card tasks. Looks like we are doing really well on the series books!

Woo-hoo!!!

[Ghost in the Stacks]

Girl I am up late! I usually get up at 4, so that I can get ready and get to work by 6:30. But Up didn't have to 'be in until 7 today, so I slept in an extra 30 min.

[Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥]

I'm here, just arrived at my doctors appt.

I don't even understand those cards. I'll be reading the series it seems.

[K~Terror]

Did you look at the cards on the s/s? T? They made more sense to me there... They are basically tasks.

[Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥]

Oh no, thanks KT!!!!

I'm do that.

[Ghost in the Stacks]

No worries, Tamika I did the same thing this morning.

[Snowtulip]

Me too, I was on my phone and my brain just kept going, huh???

[Snowtulip]

I'm off work today, so I plan to get some good reading done after my bike ride :D

[Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥]

It seems much better now that I looked at the SS. I won't add anything until I'm finished with my series books first.

[LaurLa]

For Card 1, the first 2 task say Read a book with something that can fly... it doesn't specify on the cover. So anything that flies can be featured in the book or do they mean on the cover? Also do they mean something that flies naturally (like a bird) or do planes, etc count?

[Karen ♐]

Ugh! Hubby made an appt for today to change our cable service! So I didn't have internet until now...going to go look at the ss...

[Snowtulip]

Agree on leveling up first :)

[Karen ♐]

I looked at the ss and I'm going to be reading which has mountains in the background on the cover. Would that work for "something very high on the cover"?

[VNerdbooks]

i sould say that a mountain would be very high, so yes i think so

[Karen ♐]

I did too...lol I just wanted to make sure I understood it correctly...

If a book with a plane in the storyline works, then I can read for Card 1, task 1... the h gets to ride in Air Force One.

[VNerdbooks]

sounds good LaurLa, cover pictured have also been confirmed.

I asked also about birds but im. ot sure whether Tea was on a mean streak when she said the bird has to be an MC lol, i think we need to start throwing her chocolate haha

[Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥]

Girls, after a month(well it'll be a month on the 12th) learned that I lost 9 lbs according to the nutritionist today. I'm super happy. I deserve a brownie sundae.
