Woohoo. Walking Dead starts up again tomorrow night.

Has anyone heard anything about the new HBO show Vinyl?

Haven't heard of that one. Still finishing up Elementary.

Vinyl starts tomorrow also. About a Recording Label in the 70's, I think. I'll let you know once I've seen the show. ;-) yeah, yeah, yeah

[Alyssa]

I read Wild Animus by rich Shapero(sp?).. It truly was awful. It took a lot of will to finish it.

[Reva]

How did you discover it and where does one get a free copy? No way will I pay for one. I draw the line there.

It's not available from any of my libraries.

[Cathy]

I found this kindle freebie but have not read it yet.
Romance: Regency Romance: The Duke's Chronicles (Historical Victorian Romance)
It sounds pretty bad.

[Alyssa]

I searched listopia for badly rated books I think. I don't remember the exact search words I used.
Lucky for me, my local library had a copy (God only knows why..) so yea, but no definitely don't pay for it haha.

[Alyssa]

Does another library near you have it were you could get your library to borrow it for you? I don't know if you can find it online for free.

[Reva]

No my libraries didn't have The Duke's Chronicles. Amazon wants $4.25 ha! Not!

Vinyl was created by Mick Jagger & Martin Scorsese so it should be interesting! I already have my dvr set to record it *fingers crossed it's good*

Vikings is returning this week as well for those of you who watch it!

I've been holding back from doing that quest but I might have to read that first one since it's only 121 pgs and it's free with KU!

Let me know how it is. :)

[Cathy M.]

It's pure erotica so I'm sure you won't like it :P

[Reva]

Lol. Well I can't source any of the above without buying the book GRRR

Daphne how are you finding the titles? I've been through all the "WORST" lists and found a few titles -- but nothing I can source for free.

[Cathy]

I've never done it, but I think there's way to lend Kindle books.
I have Romance: Regency Romance: The Duke's Chronicles (Historical Victorian Romance) if someone wants to borrow it.

If its ok and can be done I'm in. :-)

I've tried a few different genre tags that have popped out a few. I wish we could use ratings of exactly 2.0 instead of 1.99. I've found several I wouldn't mind reading with 2.0 ratings. The annoying ones are the ones that had several ratings, but they STILL averaged out to 2.0 lol.

[Kelly]

Hehehe. This is what happens when you guys start with the "we do all the quests" ;) At least it's only one, right?

[Reva]

Kelly wrote: "Hehehe. This is what happens when you guys start with the "we do all the quests" ;) At least it's only one, right?"

Just because it's hard doesn't mean its impossible. It will just take a little longer. ;-)

[Rebecca]

Would this work for "• Read a book with a lamp or other non-natural light source on cover (3 Gold)"

there are white lamps on the cover A Likely Story

[Rebecca]

or is this enough green for a "predominantly green and silver cover" ? haha I need some gold

[Cathy]

Reva, I can do it if I have your e-mail address. Message me if you're still interested.

[Kelly]

Yes that's fine.

Yup

[Reva]

:-(

Thanks for trying. Apparently, the service is only available to US customers. I'm not sure if lending is ONLY available in the USA or if Canadian to Canadian loans are possible.

I guess I'll have to kep watch for awful books available through Amazon.ca.

[Reva]

For the wizarding hat:

"This hat will grant you one additional attack for your magic staff. "

Is that per round? Per battle? Per week? Per month? Ever?

[Kelly]

it increases the attach by 1, just like another level of staff would. While you're wearing the hat :P Remember one hat at a time.

That's a bummer.

Funny. I interpreted it as another swipe of the staff. Ie 17 x2 = 34.

[Teresa]

Me too, Reva!

Teresa wrote: "Me too, Reva!"

Seems a shame to pay 50 GOLD = 20 books for just +1

[Daphne]

Reva wrote: "Teresa wrote: "Me too, Reva!"

It's like a vanity item for the adventurer that has everything else. More bling and less zing.

Doubling attack would have been crazy powerful. It would make me feel like a Drizzt. :)

[Rebecca]

For spell-it-out, I can't find the rules, but can you use series names for it also? Or just characters/title/author?

[Reva]

RebeccaS wrote: "For spell-it-out, I can't find the rules, but can you use series names for it also? Or just characters/title/author?"

Series count too

[Reva]

Spell out one of the following words with title, author, series, main character rules. YUM, BLUE, RASP, STRAW. +1 Exp per letter, +2 Exp for completing a word (Max 1 word) (hide spoiler)]

[Nancy]

I've just done another mega-update - probably four months worth this time. I still haven't done the first two weeks of February yet, but thanks to my update, I am now the proud owner of

The Fluffy Killer of Fluffysville


Rocky the Rock = -1 from Enemy Attack


One Shield


My House


Ok, now I am exhausted. I have still got to go through about 40 pages of the Tavern yet...tomorrow.

Wow! Congratulations NancyHelen!!! Nice job on all the new goodies.

[Zuzana]

Great update, NancyHelen! :D

Just a question though: I thought you couldn't have a shield without obtaining all the gems first. Am I wrong?

[Nancy]

I've got a blank shield that doesn't actually do anything yet. It's just sitting looking a bit dull over my fireplace until I get some gems and turn it into something useful...

[Zuzana]

NancyHelen wrote: "I've got a blank shield that doesn't actually do anything yet. It's just sitting looking a bit dull over my fireplace until I get some gems and turn it into something useful..."

LOL! I get it it's like a house without a bed and/or a kitchen - nice thing to have but no benefits YET.

BTW That kitty is supercute!

[Nancy]

Yep, I've got one of those too :-) Empty house, useless shield. At least I have my fluffy kitty to keep me company, although he's not trained so I'm having to clean up little kitty presents all the time too. Hey ho, we'll get there eventually.

[Zuzana]

If you're looking for some both short and good books about fishing to train your kitten I can recommend:
The Old Man and the Sea and Captains Courageous

[Nancy]

Oh, thank you! I have both of those and quick reads are always welcome.

[Reva]

Cute Kitty. Congrats on your other goodies.

[Rebecca]

Wow congrats NancyHelen!

[Daphne]

Woohoo Nancy! Let us know when the housewarming party is!

I can update the hat to read attack point rather than attack.

I think that would clarify things.

Red Gem will be done in a few days. Just need one book from the library. Time to start working on the purple gem. ;-)
