MOTM DUN DUN DUN!

Our fabulous shiny MOTM is none other than the elusive Mary a.k.a. pugmuged!
Mary hasn’t been around long, but she’s made a major impact. She has been incredibly helpful while still maintaining a humorous composure or something. Her very first post on our message board caught our attention. We knew then and there that she was definetly a keeper and S2 material. (In case you are wondering what S2 material is, it’s like a cross between velour, lycra, and spandex.) Not only is she a mother, she is also going to college and still finds time for us and Neo! Mary and her pet Arbudah, are striving for a Booktastic award right now. She also rather darigan stuffs if you couldn’t tell by her account @_@ She has a pretty fancy gallery located HERE. Thanks Mary for being so muppety. We luff j00!

Issue 21 of Neopets Magazine has a Guild Spotlight on page 7 and guess who’s featured.

I obviously cannot copy the article here, so I highly recommend picking up a copy. But as credit is given, I’ll toss in a quote:

Quote:
If you’re looking for passionate book lovers to help you with your reading progress, this is the place to be. One-fourth of the top 200 Neopian Book Award readers reside in this guild, and the founder’s Neopet hold a gold trophy in the book awards! The guild hosts a community of friendly, helpful Neopians of all ages and backgrounds, so encouragement can always be found there when it’s needed.

Thank You Neopets Magazine!

I started a topic on the Forum about out of whack books. These are books that are way overpriced (usually because someone buys up all the books so the price rises) or way underpriced (usually because Tarla gave them out or someone dumps a lot of them on the market).

Also included in this topic are books (usually r99s, special books or retired books) that just became unbuyable.

FYI - I usually do not update the book database with the out of whack books. The newly unbuyable books will be updated in the book database in the next week or so.

HAPPY READING EVERYONE!
