Hahaha Tea :D Yay I'm here!!! We don't only read classics together sweetie. We read Book Thief & that Pamela Clare series, though you do get me reading more of them.
And I actually did look over the RPG again...I didn't look down far enough to see the tasks. That's why I was so confused! Still confusing a little, especially with the levels and stuff but it does look interesting.

And look at it this way. You haven't even started playing and you already have 3 points! :P

Wait ewwwww...did you say rat stew? I'm out then...I am a lady and I do not eat such filth *sniffs nose disgustly*
Sorry just trying to get in character :D

Wait ewwwww...did you say rat stew? I'm out then...I am a lady and I do not eat such filth *sniffs nose disgustly*"
Oh, so sorry Milady *curtsies*
But you see, you don't really have a choice. You can pick between rats, goblins, and bats for now (since nobody caught dragon yet), but last two are usually saved for special occasions, holidays and such. And those heroes who have horses, bunnies and kitties won't eat them since they are very useful in battles.
Don't worry, it tastes just like chicken :P

I joined this group for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I was trying to decide which of the six books to get after qualifying for an Amazon promo ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/browse.htm... )..
I somehow stumbled here when I saw that 'Girl on a train' is a group read for you soon, and I recently bought that from amazon. I thought it would be interesting to join in :)
What really piqued my curiosity was the 'Wicked..' book... It really put me in a mind of a book I read to my Dad in the car when I was younger.. I always remembered it as 'The wickedest witch in the West', but have never been able to find it since...
Anyway, yes... Hello :)
