A grapple! How strange... I'd love to taste that. Where did you get it Niecole?
I like the witches and witchcraft one...
There are so many ideas here already, I really cant think of any others

Ok so I've thought of some!
* A book about Knights (You know like the knights of the round table etc)
* Books about an extinct creature or animal, like a Dodo or Griekwa etc
* A book about Knights (You know like the knights of the round table etc)
* Books about an extinct creature or animal, like a Dodo or Griekwa etc
Hmm, extinct creatures aren't mythical though, they're just all dead.
My dad got it from some guy at his work, no idea where the guy got it from :)
But you know when you smell an airfreshner that has a "grape" smell? Like that really strong grape smell? Thats what it smelled like, and it was really sweet, I wasnt able to eat the whole apple because it was so sweet!

Also, I'm assuming it has to be a mythical tale/legend about knights? You can't read non-fiction about knights or very accurate historical fiction for example.
No like the knights of Camelot for example
Yip...
Would you say a fairytale with a Knight in counts? Seeing as fairytales are not real?
Lauren, could you inbox me your email address again? All my stuff got lost yesterday when they installed my new computer :(

Yes, a fairytale would count. Anything that falls under the main theme. Knights fall under both history and legend/myth/folktale, so you just have to be sure that you read the latter.
Ok, cool, thanks...
So when do you think we'll be able to start voting?
So when do you think we'll be able to start voting?
'Nominations' is a bit of a misnomer here because we won't be voting on these tasks. We'll just keep 'nominating' until we hit 25 and then we'll have the complete challenge, the same as with Patchwork.So you can go ahead with your planning threads if you like :)
