I post in my adventure log when I collect the egg and when I eat it.

That's how we do covers unless otherwise stated."


Ok, thanks. At least I've realised they've got different covers now and not after I've waited ages to get them from the library! I'll have to remember to compare my to-read list to the library catalogue when I'm looking for cover items.

You don't need to, though you might want to record it on your own tracking sheet just for HP tracking purposes. The key is that you can't stockpile eggs.

Cait S | 2825 comments This is the farthest behind I've been on an update. I need Time for the Dead and Rescue Kitty done still. Hopefully I can buy a couple months so I don't need to like forgo sleeping, eating, and mothering my children to finish these in time.

If not, I guess I just teach them to use the microwave and lock myself away for a week.

Sara | 1294 comments Wait, could I use gift cards for quests too? O_____O
I've recently used all 3 for saving Easter! Poor me...


message 2471: by Alex (new)

Alex | 1018 comments Wahh, I want a baby falcon but I'm still only 1/10 books into building my house and will then need to build a kitchen. I'll get there eventually, but I wish I could spend all my time reading so I could fulfil every quest! And level my weapons! And earn gold!

Zuzana | 2570 comments Thanks for the update, ladies!

Zuzana | 2570 comments I'm using two of my extension gift cards:

For Time For the Dead


and A Tavern Delicacy quests.


Just to make sure after this the quests expire on 7/15/15?


message 2474: by Zuzana (new)

Zuzana | 2570 comments Quick question: Are there any June quests we can use Find Item Potion for?


message 2475: by Reva (new)

Reva (revans) | 2481 comments Thanks Kelly and Tea for ALL the hard work that you do. !!!

Happy Vacation!

Will you spend your time catching up on your reading? LOL

No. There aren't really item gathering quests this round. I'll add a note to myself to make sure to have one in August.

Heh. I'm going to Costa Rica. I've been promised monkeys. Reading probably depends a lot on my travelling companions.

You can get your falcon before the kitchen but then you just stockpile mouse meat until you get a kitchen to cook in.

Claire  | 4252 comments Awesome quests as always !! :D

I have a little question already :p

for the Here Birdy Birdy quest

"To get the lure read a book about fishing or ..."

Is it enough if the Main Characters go fishing once in the book?
I'm asking now because I just finished Heat in which they fish at one point and I was planning to use it for another quest. But if this book qualifies I prefer to set it aside to use later and safe me the trouble of finding another book.

That's fine if they go fishing. It doesn't have to be the main point in the book but it should be more than just a "Joe liked fishing but those were in past days" type of line.

message 2491: by Reva (new)

Reva (revans) | 2481 comments Wow I just cherry-picked my infinite Tote and only need a bird on the cover book to get the falcon!

Anyone know any short reads?


message 2492: by Zuzana (new)

Zuzana | 2570 comments I didn't know it's possible to use two cards for one quest, In that case I'm using my last card for Time For the Dead.

Reva, I haven't read any books with birds on the cover lately, but you may try this list: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/8...

EDIT: Actually that's not true. I've just remembered that The Happy Prince and Other Stories has a swallow on the cover and it's a lovely read.
The Happy Prince and Other Stories by Oscar Wilde

Reva (revans) | 2481 comments I was just looking at the same list and I can't believe how many books I've already read!

Thanks for sharing.

Rebecca (rebeccasg) | 3799 comments Birds of a Feather (Maisie Dobbs #2) by Jacqueline Winspear is a good one if you like mysteries or HF

You just have to have killed them. There's no using up.

I number and date the battles so I keep track of which Rat battles were claimed.

I decided on:

A Wizard of Earthsea (The Earthsea Cycle, #1) by Ursula K. Le Guin A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin

since I have been meaning to read the series for a while.
