Will take a look at spreadsheet and see if I have books for the cards.
Just finished a series #7 book. :)




I'm just getting home. Went to the sucky Bears game with the family. Went to dinner and now I'm checking in.
You can move my books wherever you want them to. I'm super exhausted.


I slotted a few more books into the scavenger hunt on a temporary basis.
Four more words need to be found and those are also the hardest (at least two of them are).
Would someone be able to find a book for one of the following?
- turmeric
- ginger
- basil
- St. John's Wort
If it proves impossible to find books for the remaining words, we can always discard the card tomorrow.

CARD 4
You've never been one to try to outdo everyone else. No one really needs to go a whole 20,000 leagues under the sea when 5,000 is plenty. You're quite sure after traveling 5,000 leagues that there's really nothing more that would surprise you down there. You've seen all the fish, sunken ships, sharks and mermaids that you could ever care to see in the sea. Just make sure to take some pictures so you can have a few rounds bought for you at the Tavern after you've returned.
Travel 5,000 leagues and take pictures! Reserve a wonderful spot at the tavern for all your stories.
Leagues may be traveled by reading books. To determine the amount of leagues traveled by a single book, round down to the nearest 100 pages, then calculate 2 to the power of the number of hundreds of pages. (Hint: use the xy button on the calculator)
Examples: 512 page book -> 5 hundred pages -> 2^5 = 32 leagues
(If not all spots are needed, x out all columns)
Tasks:
•Book 1
•Book 2
•Book 3
•Book 4
•Book 5
•Book 6
•Book 7
•Book 8
•Book 9
•Book 10
Rewards:
•5 Experience
•1 Greater Heal Potion
•1 Shield Potion

Ah that's great, ladies!
Hopefully we can find St. John's Wort somewhere, too!
The card is worth quite a lot so would be a shame not to manage to fill it.

Uhmm.... yea... although I'm all for the read-a-thon... you make a very compelling point for discarding! LOL!

could we get a page number please for Once Smitten, Twice Shy? The kindle edition you shelved doesn't give a page number. Amazon says 340 pages, is that correct?
Thanks! :-)"

Yeah we'd need a few 1k books to fill up the card quicker.

A 1000 page book would be 10 hundred pages.
--> 2^10
--> 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
= 1024

Hell I googled it, and it gave me the answer of 100. From now on, no more google, I am going to Eldarwen it.
