We should do a healthy mix of both. The tasks for the cards are important too because they level our hero's experience.

Huge list!

Which reminds me that I wanted to remind you ladies of something: we do not have to complete all the cards, we have the possibility to discard one if we don't want to complete it. Every day at 11am London time (13 hours from now), each discarded card will be replaced by a new one.


message 6955: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13733 comments Mod
My suggestions for discarding would be card 5 and card 3 because one is very long and the other is just sitting there with a monster with too much health to be battled successfully. Might as well make use of the option to get new cards.

But that's my opinion.

I'll let you guys discuss and decide while I'm heading off to the land of dreams. Night!

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments yep i agree, that list is huge!!!

Ghost in the Stacks I am.good with what ever, the mosters still confuse me a bit, just point me to what to read, and I ll read it.


However I do need to rego through my book, I posted this morning I would do Fabric, but I guess K-Terror didnt see it, so Hopefully it has one of the other words in it. I only tried the ones I thought was going to be the hardest first, so let me look.


message 6958: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks Okay, Gold is in my book, if someone can add me into it.


message 6959: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks Grave Illusions for GOLD is complete

Ghost in the Stacks How come everything is labeled as Card 5?

It replaces whatever card you submit. So if you complete card 5, a new card 5 is drawn.

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments i think someine is reading Gold Abbie, but there is no name on there, who is reading Must Love Mistletoe?


message 6964: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13733 comments Mod
I've been wondering that, too..?


message 6965: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13733 comments Mod
Well, I guess since there was no more feedback, V and I (with Abbie's blessing) will just make an executive decision and discard Card 3 and 5.


message 6966: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments yay!!

LaurLa | 2383 comments I was the one who put in for Gold for Card 2. Sorry I forgot my name. If someone else has already read for it, I'll remove it.


message 6970: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks I have other words for that boo,k no worries LaurLa.

I didnt look at the end, I just saw no name and no book, and thought it was blank.


message 6971: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks I would just recommend adding your name to the spot, so no one else does the same.

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Lol! Work can be so rude sometimes!


message 6983: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Abbie - I've added your Grave Illusions and reason to the s/s for 'cotton'

Do you have another book for fabric - or was it the same book?


message 6984: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks LaurLa you disappeared on me....


message 6985: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks K-Terror, it works for all three words, Grave Illusion, so it doesn't matter were you put me in. I say, just keep yours and LaurLa in, and add mine to cotton.


message 6986: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)
