Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

As long as it was considered normal things that people would eat, I think it counts.

Another egg up for grabs! Good until Saturday :)

I'll take it please! :)

It's yours Alyssa! Enjoy :)

I'm planning my next quests to work on. Would people recommend working on "Learning the magic - growing supplies" or Zombie Quests first?

Today I took out the deadly Correction Fluid bwahahahah

Congrats! :)

Congrats, Rebecca! :)

Congrats!!!

Thanks everyone!

Does anyone have a good fiction recommendation for "- Read 1 book where someone is a soldier or in the military." I'm thinking probably something WWI/WWII?

OR

- Read a book where someone runs out of batteries

Post apocalyptic is probably where I'd look for running out of batteries. I can't think of any off hand at the moment though :/
YA Fantasy is good for soldiers too, if you don't want to go the historical fiction route :)

Awesome thanks Alyssa. I may just have to hope to stumble on someone running out of batteries.

Also are we getting any more monsters? I think I only have one big one left!

If you are into romance, there are lots of ones with soldier mc's

For batteries, i think the one I used was, They Who Fell by Kevin Kneupper. Pretty sure someone ran out of batteries in that one. It's post apocalyptic with Angels having taken over earth.

I used for someone running out of batteries.

I am pretty sure for batteries I used: The End Games

For soldier/military I think I did Code Name Verity.

City of Thieves is another one that would work and one of my favs. Different look at the war than usual.

I shall ponder them!

BTW, I'm watching Charmed again. You guys may be getting demons from the early 2000's :)

I love that show!

That sounds like it would be awesome Kelly! xD

How about some Buffy demons? Like the little demon from the halloween party at the frat house?

Yayyy love early 2000s monsters!

Thanks for the suggestions everyone :)

I have another egg to donate, good until Saturday!

I'll take it!

It's yours, Jenny! :)

Thank you!

A great book for running out of batteries

Can somebody help the local idiot who just finished her house and doesnt know how to attach the picture to her own thread? I see the html help thing but do not get it.

Use this HTML:

<*img src="" height="" width="" alt="">

without the *. You can right click on any picture and copy image address and paste it in the first quotes (make sure it ends in .jpg, .png, or any other picture format). Height, width and alt are optional, but you can use height and width to change the image size and alt is a description of the picture.

Example:

<*img src="http://cdn3-www.dogtime.com/assets/up..." height="153" width="192" alt="Puppy">

Does anyone have a book by an author with the name "Grace"? I'm trying to finish up my puppy quest (this is the only task left!), and I have yet to find an author named Halli, so I'm thinking my middle name is the way to go. Happy to pay gold for one!

Thanks Lauren! My problem was that i did not remember how to get the image address.

For "- Read 1 book where someone is a soldier or in the military." does that person have to be active in the military in the book? Or can he be a retired vet that still talks/relives his military service?

Kelly, would you accept Breakaway for "read a book where the moon is destroyed"?
synopsis of the book: "set in the year 1999, nuclear waste stored on the Moon's far side explodes, knocking the Moon out of orbit and sending it, as well as the 311 inhabitants of Moonbase Alpha, hurtling uncontrollably into space."

Sure

Thanks, Kelly. :)
That task is one of the hardest. I found only one other book about the moon being destroyed: Seveneves.

Kelly, how should we calculate Correction Fluid's AP when we have Rocky and the shield?

Correction Fluid...
10 attack (+5 per round, first increase on second round)

a)
first round
10-2=8

second round
8+5-2=11

third round
11+5-2=14

or

b)
first round
10-2=8

second round
10+5-2= 13

third round
10+5+5-2=18

and so on?

I would think b) but I'm not sure. TIA.

Not Kelly, but I think second one is correct. At least that's how I'd go with it.

I have another egg up for grabs, good until Saturday :)

I'll take it Sara

Thanks, Tea, I would say option b, too. But one can hope that Kelly would see it otherwise. :)

I have another fresh egg for grabs, good until Satirday. Any takers?

Yes please!

It's yours, Alyssa. :)

Question about quest "The Power of Red". It says
"Read 3 sets of uncharged and charged books. To charge a book take an uncharged books title and add one word to it."

Can the charged title have more words than one added? Or is it strictly uncharged title plus one.
