Kelly has had the idea of dropping the tournament part of the event.

Instead, we would be fighting Boss Monsters (on a separate tab in the spreadsheet, and separate from the smaller..."

I like this idea, too.

Thanks, just trying to figure out what to start this morning.

[Ghost in the Stacks]

Who ever is on, can you slot me in for DATE

[Ghost in the Stacks]

After date, I will move on to HAPPY, unless someone logs in before me and claims it.

Basically ANYTHING you could use to enter into a house. So yes to any kinds of doors/windows.

Possibly also chimney if you're Santa Claus ;-)

[VNerdbooks]

moved a couple of books around and now card 4 is complete, are you on the ss to submit E?

[Ghost in the Stacks]

Finished DATE, onto HAPPY.

I can finally get to all these freebies I have had on my list for years...However, most of them havent been so great....guess that is why they are free!

[Snowtulip]

Agree Abbie, some of mine have been freebies and meh...but there have been a few hidden gems :D

Just finished MARRIAGE!

Yes, there are a few hidden gems!

When I first got my kindle back in the day, I use to download every free book I could vet my hands on, I eventually learned my lesson...but I do try to read them when I can fit them in.

[LaurLa]

I'll be finished with my #3 book later today and then will start on a #6 so we can finish out Level 9. It will probably be tomorrow night, though, so if someone else has a #6 they can finish before then, go ahead and move mine to another level.

She's probably already using virtual darts to shoot card 4 ;-)

[Snowtulip]

Also cat in text?

Cat in the text is fine. I'm even ok with cat shifters :)

[Kelly]

Anywhere you find a cat!

[Eldarwen]

Oh awesome, thanks Kelly! Saves me some rummaging around hehe.

[Eldarwen]

How many times is "cat" mentioned in the the latest Kate Daniels?! Because Tamika finished that one and it hasn't been used yet... :-)

*goes to Amazon*

This is like with the bug card, isn't it?

It doesn't have to be 7 different books but can all be referenced in one book?

[Eldarwen]

There are 7 cat mentions in the book!

[VNerdbooks]

[Eldarwen]

V Nerd wrote: "yes i think so E"

Mmmhh, thought so. Thanks, V!

I'll go add them all to the spreadsheet then and get us a new card. :-)

[VNerdbooks]

[VNerdbooks]

so if someone goes home to find 2 dead people in the house, would you assume that there had been some sort of break in?

O.O

Yes! Unless it's a Romeo & Juliet style romance.

Nope, one cat per book. Sorry

Since I just submitted the card...

[Kelly]

Eldarwen wrote: "Well then, could you please undo what I just did, Kelly? :-)

Done!

Sorry for the confusion. Only a limited number of quests don't require a unique book for each one and they have special notes to that effect in the text.

[Eldarwen]

At least we now know for next time!

Thanks! :-)

[Eldarwen]

Ok, ladies, we can either hunt through the books we have, or discard and get a new one tomorrow.

Whichever you want.

That is what happens when someone takes Stacies's cats.

[Ghost in the Stacks]

Pencil me in for
•Read a book that's 300-399 pages

I started one after my HAPPY card that fits for this, I was hoping I could find somewhere to add it in.

It has 368 pages

[Eldarwen]

Done, Abbie!

[Eldarwen]

Have a look through the cards, please, ladies.

Check if one (or more) of your books might work for cards we have currently open and could be switched from wherever they are in the series slots to the cards.

If you want to discard one or the other card (or a couple), please let us know! Thanks :-)

[Eldarwen]

And now I'm off to bed.

Good night! :-)

PS: Will hopefully finish the Valentine's book tomorrow.

[Snowtulip]

So, the book I just finished because it has a window on the cover, also has cats in it...which should I use it for...seems cats are harder to find...but not sure if we are keeping cat card?
