I don't think we've ever talked about that option.

Yes that's fine to re-buy a book.

After rereading what we wrote, seller pays taxes. We can make buyer too if you want for next one :)"


I think we'd just stick to seller since the limit is selling 5 books and 5 items and no limit on buying.

It's ok. I'll try to have them out soon. It's just a bit crazy right now.

Rebecca (rebeccasg) | 3798 comments For the Death's Requests quest:

• Read a book with a mainly green/yellow/purple cover for octarine sunglasses (1 item)


Does this mean the cover should have all these colors? Or be mainly one of these colors.

I think Far from the Madding Crowd  by Thomas Hardy might have all these colors on it.

I thought that it was one of the 3 not a combination of colors-- because of "mainly".

I don't think so. Drop Bear is common, but only specific number shows up, so I'd say that's timed.

Zuzana | 2570 comments Kelly, Tea, I have a question regarding the house quest:

for "2) Make Foundation - Read a book about someone getting an education to build their foundation" will any book with school setting where MCs are students do, e.g. Harry Potter or Anne of Avonlea books or books featuring characters attending high school or college?

Yes that's fine. As long as they actually attend a class :)

Actually I probably did read something, but forgot about it by the time I was updating challenge.

*mumbles to herself*
I really should start keeping notes

Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden

Anything involving training: swordplay, languages, magic, science, farming, horticulture...

I recently read a book about the MC learning viniculture


message 2415: by Zuzana (last edited May 27, 2015 09:48AM) (new)

Zuzana | 2570 comments Oh, yeah, so any training will do. I interpreted the word "education" too strictly as an educational facility like school or college.

Training or re-training. Someone seeking a new career. Lawyer to chef. Etc


message 2417: by Zuzana (last edited May 27, 2015 10:42AM) (new)

Zuzana | 2570 comments Yeah, my bad. Sometimes I get fixed on the most obvious translation of the word and dismiss other meanings. "Education" - "vzdelani" in Czech usually involves an institution (school, training course and such).

Now that I'm asking. How do you interpret: "read 2 books with something that can fly and 2 books with something very high on the cover."?

Does the flying thing/animal/person have to be on the cover or is it enough they're in the book? And what does "something very high on the cover" mean?
the title of the book seems quite high on the cover here: Heartless (Parasol Protectorate, #4) by Gail Carriger
or the pyramid or the hand on these covers? Timeless (Parasol Protectorate, #5) by Gail Carriger Thirty-Three Teeth (Dr. Siri Paiboun, #2) by Colin Cotterill


message 2418: by ❀Tea❀ (new)

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9625 comments I guess I should answer that one since it's my quest.

For fly part - I'd say it's enough that's in the book. But please, don't use it if only mentioned. Like She watched pigeons through window. Have it at least little more. :)

Very high part - anything that's higher than human would count. Or think about it this way, high enough you'd think twice before jumping from. :)
So in your examples:
Heartless - high building on the cover
Timeless - pyramid counts
Thirty-Three Teeth - trees and mountains in the back


message 2419: by Zuzana (new)

Zuzana | 2570 comments Thanks Tea, that really helped. :) And thanks, Reva, for elaborating on the education thing. :)

Reva (revans) | 2481 comments Anytime. I had airplanes, helicopters, mountains and clouds. But butterflies, birds etc would fit


message 2421: by Cait S (new)

Cait S | 2825 comments I think I have finally hit the quest that is going to beat me and break my streak of finishing them all :/ Ugh.

Sooo don't keep us in suspense.


message 2423: by Cait S (new)

Cait S | 2825 comments Oh sorry I was just whining lol I'm getting so frustrated with the build the ladder to kitty one. Because once you read a book, it's locked in, the next one HAS to match. So the wiggle room is almost non-existent. Not that I need to explain, I'm sure like literally everyone else has done it by now haha

Every book I try is terrible so I have to replace it and rebuild the ladder. I have reworked my ladder at least 5 times and I'm just tired of it.


message 2424: by Reva (new)

Reva (revans) | 2481 comments What about:

Don't expect magic
Magic Hour
Our town
Own the wind.  OR Owning Violet
Indigo Slam  OR   Let it bleed


message 2425: by Cait S (new)

Cait S | 2825 comments I just started a "Magic" one now, "Magic Can Be Murder", and it seems like it will be good enough to finish, unlike the last few I tried.

Murder I can fill with the 2nd in a series I like "Murder on a Bad Hair Day".

So I'll need a "Day" and then whatever comes next. The main problem being as usual I'm overbooking (ha. ha. pun) myself and trying to fill 10 other challenges besides just this one quest, so there's other restrictions and such on it. I will just be very happy when it's over lol

Thank you for the suggestions though. I'll keep that in mind in case this book falls through.

That's a resounding "heck no" from me.

Edit to add: I literally haven't even looked at some of them yet, that's how far "heck no" lol


message 2429: by Mary (new)

Mary  (wimew) | 397 comments heck no


I still need the update to plan things


message 2430: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (rebeccasg) | 3798 comments No! I have been working on that bunny and the gold. I need to get back to the others


message 2431: by Reva (new)

Reva (revans) | 2481 comments Kelly wrote: "Is anyone near finishing the available quests?"

I've a few to go but I also enjoy the challenge of planning for the new quests on those occasions when I don't feel like reading.

If you're tight for time, you could do what you did earlier in the year and split the month.


message 2432: by Teresa (new)

Teresa (teresab78) | 1658 comments I have lots of quests I'm working on. I haven't even contemplated May's quests (other than the Midas ones)

No me neither. I need to get the house then the kitchen before I even get close! Arg so much to do!

Zuzana | 2570 comments I'm still working on the March and April quests so it's "heck no" for me too. I'd like to know what quests are going to expire in June though. I'm still holding onto three Extention cards and they have to be used by 31st of May.


message 2435: by Cathy (new)

Cathy Galloway | 876 comments That's a heck no for me too. I haven't even finished my horse yet.

You'd have to read the first book in the series first, but Days of Blood & Starlight is good for a "Day" book (I liked it, anyway)... And then "light" shouldn't be too difficult to continue the ladder with. Just a suggestion. :)

(This suggestion coming from someone who has only completed one quest... But I still find this game fun. Hehe.)

Kelly, I am so behind that if you didn't post any new quests for the next 3 months, I would still have enough to keep me going!! :)

Don't worry :) Almost everyone's in that boat.

Kelly (ladykatala) | 5020 comments I just finished writing up June's updates so I just need to wait for Tea to review them and tell me I'm nuts :P So hopefully up tomorrow.

Nancy (nancyhelen) | 1469 comments Kelly wrote: "Is anyone near finishing the available quests?"

I wish. I keep being indecisive about whether I should use a book for a quest or to level up my sword. I've had to admit defeat and delete a few quests which I am not even going to get started on.

And yet, bizarrely, I still can't wait for the new quests?!


message 2443: by Alex (new)

Alex | 1018 comments I'm nowhere near with the quests either. Each update there's some that I just disregard straight off the bat. Currently working on bunny, house, and levelling my staff, which is enough to keep me going for a while. At some point I'll go back and get the horse, going to use my timewalker for that if I need to.

But like NancyHelen I love an update!

Alex | 1018 comments Zuzana wrote: "Now that I'm asking. How do you interpret: "read 2 books with something that can fly and 2 books with something very high on the cover."?"

I've been planning my reading for this one too seeing as it's "my" quest so I feel I need to complete it.

I'm going for The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty (butterfly) and The Aviator's Wife by Melanie Benjamin (plane) for things that fly

And I was going to go for The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah (eiffel tower) and The Last Letter from Your Lover by Jojo Moyes (bridge) for high up things, but it looks like my library has different covers for both those books so I might be back to the drawing board.

I imagine with cover items we have to use the edition we actually read, and can't sub the most popular version in?

That's how we do covers unless otherwise stated.

Rebecca (rebeccasg) | 3798 comments OMG I can't believe it...I actually got my bunny! This was a quest I wasn't sure I'd ever finish.

Meet Barley the Bunny!
