Congratulations Zee! I agree that Lady Ysmay is a must for those big battles.

[Shanna_redwind]

You know what I hate? Misleading advertising in book titles. With a title like A Baby by Easter, and the genre of inspirational romance, you would think there would be some sort of Easter celebration, wouldn't you? But no. The book ends the day before Easter, then the Epilogue takes place 4 months later. I think they were out to deliberately suck in the demographic reading a book to find an Easter celebration within the pages. And it doesn't even take place in spring, at least not enough of it.

nooooo!
hope you find somewhere else to use it!

[Morgan]

Congrats Zee!

I paired the Great Novel Dragon with Jabberwocky since I had the potion effects and went well! I wish you luck getting those three conquered as well! (Plus nice to have someone around the same place as me in the fights! :D)

I did the same thing. haha. I'm pretty sure I was practically strutting around work the next day, but we're all EPIC ADVENTURERS, so we're kind of big deals. ;)

[Rebecca]

Wow Zee!! That was quite a battle you had.

I'm glad to hear about Lady Ysmay. I haven't hired anyone yet because I keep forgetting and haven't killing anything big yet.

For some reason I didn't realize she healed 5 after every ROUND and not battle. Shoot that's like a minor heal potion.

Thanks. I'm sure I will at some point. Like I said earlier, it's a good thing that the tote is magical.

I am glad I wasn't alone in not realizing this. lol. I'm planning on hiring her next though once the twins expire. It was definitely a *facepalm* moment when I realized I read it wrong!

While the hiring of a merc lasts a week, you CAN dismiss them after I battle if you want.

I used Lady Ysmay for one battle, then dismissed her and hired the twins for the rest of the battles where I needed double the output.

[Teresa]

Congrats, Zee!!!

[Reva]

Any reading requests for the open market coming up next week?

[Zuzana]

Sorry to hear about your mom, Reva. I know how hard it is when a parent is seriously ill. Sending positive thoughts your way.

[Zuzana]

Congrats to Morgan and Zee on their killing sprees! Great job!

[Daphne]

I have a couple requests for books if you or anyone would like to do them. I'll pay 4 gold per finished book. :)

Here is what I need:
A "smooth" book for the shield
A book where the main characters job is cleaning for my horse blanket
A book featuring chocolate or where the main character is a pastry chef for my bunny

I've already got the cleaning and pastry chef available. Let me check what's on the smooth list.

[Reva]

I can have Sam's Letters to Jennifer and the other two books for you April 25/16

[Daphne]

Sounds great Reva! Thank you. :)

[Zuzana]

Kelly, you probably want to stay mysterious about the "big thing" in the future. Could you just tell us when it's going to happen - an estimate would be nice.

In other words should I start panicking now or do I have at least a whole month or two of peace ahead of me? ;-)

If Reva doesn't mind sharing her profits, I have a cleaning book to sell. I need some extra gold! But she did have first dibs...

No problem, go ahead. I'll take care of the other two.

[Teresa]

What kind of thing would be considered "a book where someone learns a big lesson about life."

[Daphne]

Will this book work for Give Winster 1 pointier sword by reading a book with a sword or dagger on the cover.

Swordfish: A Biography of the Ocean Gladiator

I'm hoping for it being the May release but it will be a slow roll out. I wouldn't panic :)

[Kelly]

Teresa wrote: "What kind of thing would be considered "a book where someone learns a big lesson about life.""

Probably a coming of age type book would be your best bet for that one.

They tend to have people who learn a big lesson about life as the point of the book.

Ha. I'll give you that since it's a swordfish.

Kelly wrote: "I'm hoping for it being the May release but it will be a slow roll out. I wouldn't panic :) "

I hoped for June. I have a big battle planned at the end of May.

Can you at least reveal if it's going to restrict/take away some of the options we have now or if it's going to be an add on? Pretty please.

I would hate to re-work all my plans yet again. As much as I enjoy the planning phase sometimes it's just too much work to re-do all the calculations.

It would be adding a new game mechanic.

[Reva]

What's a game mechanic?

[Ray (user2637)]

Game mechanics: http://bfy.tw/5JCU

LOL ;) ;)

[Kelly]

Reva wrote: "What's a game mechanic?"

Lol. Sorry my geek is showing.

Something similar to how jack and jill's or the mercenaries added a new element into how things are done.

[Zuzana]

Kelly wrote: "It would be adding a new game mechanic. "

I really appreciate you answering the questions, Kelly. I know it's something big and I fully understand you don't want to reveal too much. But what I need/hope to get out from you is "will it take away some of the options we have now?" Would we still be able to do our battles as if the change didn't happen?

What I mean is it something that is "avoidable" at least for a while? Can it be ignored when you feel like it or is it something that automatically affects everyone? Like the plague, or e.g. taking away or restricting effects of some of the potions, taking away some of the training options at Jill's school, implementing caps on certain things - mercenaries for instance, restricting the use of last year's books.

Because if it's something like that, I still have an option of giving up on most of my sleep till the end of the month and spend it reading in the (vain) hope of getting all I need for my attacks in time before it's too late. I just need to know if the change warrants that kind of emergency? ;-)

[Reva]

OMG ZUZANA!

And I thought I didn't have a life. LOL. You are taking things waaayyy too seriously.

[Zuzana]

Reva wrote: "OMG ZUZANA!

LOL! I know. :-) It's just that 6 months of planning would be wasted. And I hate wasting time.

BTW Reva, if I read 60 books a month I wouldn't have been worried either. *winks*

[Reva]

Yes but I expect that you sleep, whereas I get about 3-4 hours per day. -- so I read when I can't sleep.

[Reva]

BTW I really enjoyed Where'd You Go, Bernadette.

[Zuzana]

Reva wrote: "Yes but I expect that you sleep, whereas I get about 3-4 hours per day. -- so I read when I can't sleep."

It's not much, is 4 hours enough for you? If I slept less than my usual 6 I would be grumpy all day.

Anyway, I shuffled the books left in my tote and if I give up on Merely Kats and the Rare Binding I'll manage to go on a major killing spree before April is up. And the good news is I won't be forced to cut on my sleep either. Now I just need for things to be calm at work. Any major emergency and I'll spend my "free-time" drafting contracts and studying laws instead of reading books. Hope that our clients will cooperate. :D

[Morgan]

Any suggestions for "things that can bounce" on the cover for finishing my slingshot (so I can finish the hydra heads)? ;)

Would people/animals be out? What sorts of things did you use -- for those of you who already have your slingshots?

[Zuzana]

I haven't finish my slingshot yet. But for the "bouncy thing" requirement I'm looking for balls on the cover. So far I got .

[Reva]

I used a bouncing baby.

Balls, trampolines, tires all bounce.

Cheques bounce too LOL.

[Cathy M.]

Basketball or soccer ball - if you don't mind reading sports romances you can find something! I think someone even asked about big breasts on cover which I believe Kelly approved :)

[Morgan]

lol. I have strings of lights through the air, because they would bounce being outside and exposed.

Contemplating hair: which I'm also thinking for 'painter' since the MC is an artist who paints.

haha yeah I don't do a lot of sports romance or contemp. romance in general so I was like I need to think outside the box. There's always good suggestions in here when it comes to outside the box sorts of thinking. Like bouncing checks and breasts. XD

heh, don't google image for things that bounce. Bad bad idea.

[Teresa]

Well done on your spider slaying, Ray! I liked your theater post but I will not be reading that book!!

No, you'll keep all your options you have now. Please sleep some in the next month....

[Zuzana]

Thanks, Kelly. :-) You know, this particular "upset" did me some good. I've been postponing my hydra slaying attack for at least 3 months now. I thought I was ready and then you came up with some wonderful quest in the monthly update and I was like No, I need to do this quest first or I have to get this potion first. So I'm actually grateful that the upcoming changes forced me to man up and go ahead with the attack. Thanks again. :-)

I totally know the feeling Zuzana. I have my attacks and strategies planned out for months in advance. And then usually by the time it's all ready, I've changed my idea and decided to do a couple things that steer me in another direction. A major game changed event would seriously throw me in a tizzy (promise I'm not a diva ;))

[Kelly]

Lol. It probably will be an event, just one you can ignore without any impact to your single player game.

[Alex]

I'm excited about another event, I really enjoyed the collaborative aspect of the last one.

[Shanna_redwind]

For this challenge in Lady Teresa in Tights https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
.... and two books where author uses only his/hers initials instead of full name. Lady Teresa will pay you 10 gold for backstage pass.

Would David H. Wilson be ok or does it have to be one like J.K. Rowling

Kelly may override me, but I'd say it has to be like J.K. It says "only" initials instead of full name. The one you mentioned has a full first name so I'd say it would not work.

[❀Tea❀]

It's like J.K.
