Good news - I'm caught up. The other news - we only have 48 hours left!I'm throwing back any card that is not easy :P Here's the lay of the land:
Card 1 - incoming
Card 2 - we need a book with HEART in the title, who wants to give it a go? :)
Card 3 - incoming
Card 4 - incoming
Card 5 - the mod account has been PMed so we can use a bonus to finish it off
We're doing well with spell outs, so any and all books are good! Even if it somehow doesn't fit in a task we can sell it for gold, which can buy potions, which helps us fight monsters, rawr :)
We can fight a boss or two tomorrow - that takes brain, which I don't have right now lol.

The Death Cure by James Dashner
325 pages
The main character was definitely Annoying to me. He could never seem to make up his mind and it drove me crazy. The whole book was rather annoying actually.
I wont be able to finish another book before the challenge ends but can I just say I had the most wonderful summer of reading that I have ever had! I read way more books then I thought possible and had so much fun doing it. What a wonderfully awesome group of people and no matter where we end up in the standings, GO PANDAs!

You pass group of young squires sitting and talking. You can't not notice they are retelling Lady Shanna's Blueberry Adventure. You smile to yourself. It is great story, but like in many stories some things got changed with each retelling. And not to mention not many people know what happened after. Lady Shanna went to the field again day after and she picked some blueberries for herself, but nobody told her that those berries shouldn't be eaten fresh. She started eating them while picking. "Spit them out!" said the white horse. "But they are so tasty." "Spit them out!" All of the sudden, Lady Shanna's nose started turning purple. "What is happening to me?" yells Lady Shanna while continuing turning purple and starting to grow round. "I told you to spit them out. Everyone who eats them fresh ends up as blueberry and nobody knows why."

The local fool is wandering around town speaking in riddles... or at least you think they're riddles. He keeps talking about wanting a cup of joe but you can't figure out how Joe (the 300 pound farmer down the road) could fit in a cup. Then he told you to eighty-six the moldy bread and you told him who would want eighty six pieces of moldy bread... Then he started talking about having a field day with the new rat stew recipe in the tavern but he wasn't even in the field that day. You really must help him regain his sanity so he doesn't keep spouting off gibberish.
