Reading Drive Prizes!

September 10, 2013 2:22 am

Alexander and Archie would like to thank everyone who participated in the reading drive! They are both quite happy with the number of books they received, and are looking forward to passing them on to Subeta's youth!

They spent all night making sure that everyone's points were in order, and now that they've finished, they are happy to announce that the Reading Drive Shop is open! The shop is full of items both new and old, and our resident A-Team is certain you'll find something you like. You got 2 points for each book turned in, 1 point for each quest you completed, and 10 points for each day of the scavenger hunt you completed.

Happy shopping, everyone!

Blanche.....the apple is a ref to The Giver. Fantastic book and I squeed a little when I saw that item!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ohhh, looks like there's maybe 2 or 3 things I might like to get. ;w; I think I may be missing points though; they don't seem to add up right.

Oooh The Night Circus! Yay! No Mortal Instruments though :( But im happy with what there is, though i dont know most of the references lol

Hello!

Does the 70 extra points for the Scavenger quests have been included in the total Alexander's points before the opening of the RD shop? I made some counting and I think there might be something odd with the total points I have received.

I had a chat with another user and she thinks there might be something wrong too.

OMG! The bumbly biller!!! shrieks I seriously love you, guys!

was able to get every single book i wanted n_n and the ones i missed last year. hnk for all my whinging i'm impressed the the items were fairly priced and books. did i mention. lots of books. hey ariel is anything in there a book that doesn't quite appear book shaped - you know some times items can be read and yeah -looks at the universal remote?- like the cards for example. I couldn't work out from looking at them.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Managed to get 4 things that had been on my wishlist forever + 3 other things~ :) Maybe next time I can get the other stuff I wanted to get but didn't have points left for.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

- I just checked my quests, and it looks like I might be missing some points, too. I know I did a couple today, and may have done 1 or 2 before this, but there's about a 10-point discrepancy between my quests and my points.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

No Malice again this year for me. Guess I'll never get it x.x

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh, wait, I see which one is Pern now...

Surprised at the Fault in Our Stars one.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Has to be one of the best new items. I am so tempted to put one in 1967's TC, since Twist and Shout is the only FF I've read and the idea of that in there makes me giggle.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Wait, Pern? I'm not spotting the Pern tribute...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

The pern novels and dealing with dragons and the heralds of valdemar series too? Yes subeta did just give me items from three of my favorite book series.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh wow, you guys got this out fast. :'D Now I've just gotta figure out how to divide up my points because there are so many wearables that I need in my life. ;_;

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Number of books turned in and number of scavenger hunt days done are both in your achievements.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm glad soma tablets weren't 900 points or something. I am glad to finally own them! Now to decide what to do with the remaining 576 points...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

can these be separated by year? ;w;

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

... And oh my gosh, the How to: Cows is a Wayside School books reference. These make me so flipping happy I CAN'T EVEN ARGH AHHH ; u;

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

YEAY 8D Poop book so lulzy. The snowy figure brings back such memories! I adore that odd apple bg. Idk if the wishbone tribute is new but I love it either way. And GOOSEBUMPS DUMMY All these rats are killing me I have to have them. I bet this is Jessi's fault. If not Im still blaming her forever <3 gah ily guys so hard.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh, man, I cannot stop laughing at the "Nobody Poops But You" book. You guys are geniuses!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

- If you completed all 7 days of the quest, that's 70 points. If you remember how many books you turned in, you can figure that out, too. Whatever's left is your quest points.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Songs of the Lioness item - Red-headed Knight Helmet! You guys are awesome!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

One small issue though...my points aren't right?? I'm not off by that many, but they are definately off a little :/ Any ideas what i should do?!?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

THANK YOU SO MUCH. ;_; For the first few days this event had me a bit stressed out, trying to run around and collect some non-restockable books to turn in. But the Library Quests were a great addition, and I really loved the daily quest, and the prizes are lovely. Thanks so much for the event! In the end I'm really happy with it!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yay, so excited! Thanks for the drive, it was lots of fun. :)

what to buy ... what to buy ....
I really enjoyed this event :) The scavenger hunt was great, the extra books in the token shop were a bonus, you made me really work hard finding books to turn in, lol. Plus the extras you did like adding stuff to donations, that was a nice touch.

Thanks guys for all the hard work ❤
