So I'm thinking about participating in the book drive. Right now I only have about ahhh.. maybe 30-50 books (they're laying around in my vault). But now that I think about it.. If I'm going to do this, I should go all out and donate at least 400 books (I'm not sure where I got the number 400.. Somewhere I guess I saw that it was THE number for all of the achievements or something maybe..?). I have 60 million sP, so I guess money wouldn't be too big of a problem. But it would still really take a huge chunk out.. Not like I'm saving for anything, but still. I need some advisors! Should I go all out on this or save my time/sP? Are YOU participating in the book drive?

i'll be participating in the book drive -- but i'm not hardcore book saver. i made a separate gallery specifically for books i plan on donating just to keep everything clean and simple. i buy what i can afford and don't really worry about it.

that's my suggestion ^_^

You should try vending at that Blue Sky vending machine. I did that for the majority of my books I'll be donating. I have just over 400 now methinks.

Blue Sky is definitely the solution to this, er, problem. You'll get many crap items, but your unique book count will rise like woah.

Alternatively, you could restock any and all books you can from the Book Nook and work on your restocking achievement. Two birds with one stone. :D

I have about 412 books now, but I don't plan on donating all of them. I'll donate the unes under 1mil I have doubles of and that's it. I'm not very interested in buying a Malice. I mean, for what? I'm not an Achievement Hunter xD So I'll donate my books for stuff I want: Wearables.

Like others said, vend at Blue Sky, it helps a lot. I got over 250 unique books that way.

You have to be careful, alot of the books vending at blue sky are now selling so low its cheaper to buy them. Some have gone lower than their restocking price.

You can find it in the Games section of the site, it's called 'Reading Contest' there :) You can't participate at the moment though, but a new one is going to start soon.

With 60 million you should be able to get to 400 books easily without spending anywhere near that.

I agree with Gifts4friends as well be very careful vending for books right now, it would probably be better to go through a list and buy what you can and then vend to see if you get any you don't have after that.

I always use book Gallery to compare which ones I don't have.

Yes, I am participating this year, I have 596 books so far but I really would like to get to 600. I was lucky that I started collecting books right after last years RD.
