Kelly (ladykatala) | 5020 comments Yeah... she keeps dipping her fork in yoghurt then singing happy birthday and blowing out the "candles" (i.e. fork prongs).

We had a heavily birthday heavy past 2 months.

Cathy Galloway | 876 comments Happy Birthday Rebecca and belated HB to you Tia.

Cathy Galloway | 876 comments Kelly, 2 is such a fun age! Enjoy! (and lock down the house)

Rebecca (rebeccasg) | 3798 comments That's so cute Kelly!

Thanks everyone and happy belated Bday to you Tia!

I'm in Balitmore and it's getting nuts here so I'm glued to the news and not getting any reading done :( Hopefully I will have lots of time tomorrow because I was really enjoying my book.

Thanks for sharing your questenomics books everyone! I know it takes a lot of time to find those ;)


message 2112: by Tia (last edited Apr 27, 2015 09:02PM) (new)

Tia (fatgirlfatbooks) Would The Insurrection In Dublin: An Eyewitness Account of the Easter Rising, 1916 work as an Easter book for the bunny quest? It's obviously more focused on the rebellion, but it takes place with Easter as the backdrop.

Stay safe RebeccaS - I can't belive what's been happenning... hopefully it will come to a peaceful end soon.

Same here. We're far enough away from the city but it's just heartbreaking. I hope you're safe Rebecca.

Thanks Kelly!

Rebecca (rebeccasg) | 3798 comments Ooh just realized this. For Questenomics, can the inflationary word be in the series name? I know sometimes that's included with the title.

The intent was just for the title. If anyone is having big problems with title ones I can consider expanding it.


message 2119: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (rebeccasg) | 3798 comments Awesome thanks for clarifying Kelly!

Zuzana | 2570 comments Kelly, Tea, any chance of letting us know the specifics of using the nuts before the caravan leaves? If not will the squirrel come back next month?

Squirrel will come back next month. Nuts will be used in a cooking recipe. There will probably be a quest that can acquire nuts too but free nuts are always nice.

I don't know more details than that yet.


message 2123: by Tia (new)

Tia (fatgirlfatbooks) I really enjoy the idea of recipes - that was a great call, Kelly. It's nice to have some means of healing other than leveling up or relying on potions, which you either have to get from a quest or buy. I'm interested to see what else you come up with for future recipes!

I wasn't able to grab the squirrel this month because I didn't have enough gold, but I'm going to grab that little bugger next caravan, haha. =p


message 2124: by Zuzana (new)

Zuzana | 2570 comments Thanks, Kelly. It'nice to know we will have another chance next month.

Mary  (wimew) | 397 comments Hey Kelly I was wondering What makes you (and crew) so outstanding in creating all these quests This is the most thought out one I've ever encountered


message 2126: by Tia (new)

Tia (fatgirlfatbooks) I know! This is by far the most engaged I've ever been in a challenge. Every month there's some new element that's being added and all the quests are original and fun (even when they're frustrating - Questanomics - haha). It's not even May 1st yet and I'm already wondering what June will bring! =p


message 2127: by Cathy (new)

Cathy Galloway | 876 comments I'm so excited. I managed to earn enough gold for a kitten!


message 2128: by Tia (new)

Tia (fatgirlfatbooks) Congrats, Cathy! It looks like kittens were just flying off the shelves this week! xD

I think Tea and I may just be a tad nerdy and possible slightly psychotic :) It's a gift.

June is Sonia's birthday. And she already has idea's for what she's interested in for her birthday quest. So if you want to try to influence her, now is the time.

But then it wouldn't be a surprise, haha! I have a lot of conflicted feelings about waiting for quests - it's awful because I want to know, but I kind of like the suspense. =p

Rebecca (rebeccasg) | 3798 comments Whoever found/recommended Bunnicula by James Howe , thank you!! It just cracked me up and really made me smile.


Also my copy from the library is this one Bunnicula: A Rabbit-Tale of Mystery so Rabbit is on the cover AND in the title!


message 2144: by Tia (new)

Tia (fatgirlfatbooks) Man, I think this thread could make it as a zoo this week, haha! Congrats to everyone on your horses, bunnies, and kittens! =p

Yes! That book was totally worth it and enjoy at the same time.


message 2147: by Kelly (new)

Kelly (ladykatala) | 5020 comments Yay! So glad you guys are finding new books that you enjoy.


message 2148: by Tia (new)

Tia (fatgirlfatbooks) Something I really enjoy about challenges is that you can clear out your TBR list, but every once in a while you have to search out something that you'd never normally pick up to meet a requirement. Generally I really enjoy reading what I find, even if they're rarely in my preferred genres. It's a good way to force yourself out of your reading comfort zone.

Teresa (teresab78) | 1658 comments I ended up reading the second and third book in the Bunnicula series too. My daughter got them for me from the school library. Lol
