•Read a book where someone bites
•Read a book with blood on cover or in title or series

Added two banked books to Card 5.

Card 4 is added to the official spreadsheet, so K only needs to add her book to her Wobble shelf once she's done.

Everyone, please take a moment to see if any of the tasks still open fit your books in the bank (or in a different card / weapon level) so we can maximise what we've got before the end. THANKS!

11 hours 20 minutes to go!

CARD 4
You pass group of young squires sitting and talking. You can't not notice they are retelling Lady Shanna's Blueberry Adventure. You smile to yourself. It is great story, but like in many stories some things got changed with each retelling. And not to mention not many people know what happened after. Lady Shanna went to the field again day after and she picked some blueberries for herself, but nobody told her that those berries shouldn't be eaten fresh. She started eating them while picking. "Spit them out!" said the white horse. "But they are so tasty." "Spit them out!" All of the sudden, Lady Shanna's nose started turning purple. "What is happening to me?" yells Lady Shanna while continuing turning purple and starting to grow round. "I told you to spit them out. Everyone who eats them fresh ends up as blueberry and nobody knows why."
