So after seeing Erica taking part in this challenge, I was so interested in taking part. After taking the personality test it turns out I am a Scribe, so my path will be different to Erica’s, but I am planning to try and complete all the prompts during the month.
As a Scribe I have a weakness and a special ability.
Ability
The ability to rewrite their tale. Their unique ability is to read a book that wasn’t on their declared TBR - as long as it still completes the challenge.
Weakness
As scribes spend so much time documenting their findings, one of their challenges will take MUCH longer than normal. They must read a book over 500 pages.
I do have a very ambitious goal of over 8000 pages in a month, I have done it before so I can do it again but the two books that might stop me would be the Way of Kings and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, but I can change the books for prompts 1-4 if I need to reduce the amount of pages. While it is more than Erica’s goal it will be a struggle to reach as I go back to work on July 6th.
Here are my prompts:
1. Dwarf Mount: You spot a fair tavern wench, however the Dwarf Mines, grimey and dusty, didn’t evoke a very romantic feeling. Read a book with a hint of romance to get you in the mood. – Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller (311 pages)
2. Apothecary Towers: Where the wizards dwell. Tricksters. They have blind-folded you and randomised all your books, choose a book at random from your bookshelf. – Shatter me by Tahereh Mafi (338 pages)
3. The Great Library: Ahh the great archives, find and read a book that has been on your TBR forever. – Carry On by Rainbow Rowell (517 pages)
4. The Drowning Deep: The Whirlpool... is so.... mesmerising. Read a book with rich world-building that will suck you into its own world, instead. – The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson (1124 pages)
5. The Bookie Grail: Here you find a lost manuscript, delivered on this forgotten island by a fallen star. Read the group book: Stardust by Neil Gaiman (248 Pages)
