Zuzana | 2570 comments Kelly, I have a question about the Animal, Mineral or Vegetable quest:

For "Read a book with a mineral in its title or series.", can we use anythingoin the list of minerals you provided: http://www.galleries.com/minerals_by_... ?

I read an Amber book, because amber is in the list but then I was like is amber really a mineral? The website you linked to treat it as such ("Mineraloid amber": Chemistry: Approximately C10H16O; Succinic acid. Class: Mineraloids Uses: Ornamental stone, gemstone and semi-precious stone"). But is it?

What I'd like to know, is anything on the list o.k. for the quest or do we need to crosscheck?

Kelly (ladykatala) | 5020 comments I'm ok with anything on the list. I think that makes it challenging enough.

I thought that was just a thing that went in the tallies. lol. I need to read more closely. *facepalm* I read that as TWO books you'd have to read. Not receiving one.

Mary  (wimew) | 397 comments I found out today that my librarian has a sick sense of humor.... I went with a list of the books needed for the second part of the dragon challenge

for something flying he gave me he gave me Murder In Exile which has someone falling out of a *plane* into water filled with crocs...(not sure what he fell out of)

for the hard thing and a hard object on cover he gave me a book about a rancher sigh


so a suggestion on both of those would be appreciated most immensely

No one said anything about landing safely. LOL

You know what those cowboy abs are like -- solid washboard. ;- D

Mary  (wimew) | 397 comments LMAO Reva

except for the fact that he's falling and not flying........

Kelly could I get a ruling on the washboard abs? Hard enough?

Megs (meganlikesbooks) | 376 comments Hi, quick question. For the And From Words Bring Forth Life, are made-for-tv movies ok? Or do they need to have a box office release?

The specific movie I'm looking at is http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0844330/.

Thanks!

I was going to re-read Harry Potter, but noticed I had The Silver Linings Playbook so read that and exchanged it for the kindle edition of Gone with the wind (both are classed as romance) it had over 1400 pgs. but thank you for the rec!

Probably a small one, but it's not quite ready yet.

Morgan (faeriesfolly) | 522 comments Wow, I wouldn't have figured with how much went into the phase 2 dragon!

Dang, Kelly, you're putting in some serious OT! Take a nap! We can read books and entertain ourselves. ;) haha. We're good at it.

Alyssa Lane As long as we get more classifieds I'll be happy :D


message 6735: by Natalie (new)

Natalie | 974 comments Hello! I just started my quest and because my priorities are in order, I would like to know how to get a cat. Do I complete the crazy cat lady quest? Do I need to collect all seven cats to get one of my own or just one? Am I stealing cats from the crazy cat lady.


message 6736: by Alyssa (new)

Alyssa Lane You actually have to buy a cat from the market, so first you'll need to complete Midas quests or this months classifieds to start gathering gold. :)


message 6737: by Greta (new)

Greta | 1459 comments Hi Natalie, good to see you here! Good luck with the cat! I'm working on getting my bunny & pet rock :-)

Drat, it's not like the crazy cat lady would miss one.

Megs (meganlikesbooks) | 376 comments Welcome Natalie! I'm trying to prioritize getting both a puppy and a horse.


message 6740: by Alyssa (new)

Reva (revans) | 2481 comments Welcome Natalie. Once you buy the cat it takes 4 books over 4 weeks to train it for battle. It is then good for +2 attack in round One only.

Classifieds are over at Jack and Jill's caravan hill thread. It also has items you can purchase.

I should have June's classifieds up soon. You can only fill them for the month they're listed for.
