I'm here! Trying to digest everything... 😳 I'm not sure yet what I would recommend, since I've been reading indie authors lately, and typically those aren't as readily available...

Ooh, I didn't! I'll go look for it!

No worries! The last two prompts I found to be quite easy and books I was reading anyway would work. 💖

Wow, I am just gonna try to finish another book. I have work and party tomorrow, so hopeful goal....

Task: Read a book with two Ts OR two Ps in the title.
How it Fits: two Ts in the title

We enter books for normal snowballs OR on the extra tabs, right? Not on both tabs?

Okay, I'd been selecting targets just going in order, but I'll leave that empty for y'all. :) Not sure I'll use Super Snowball every week, since not sure I'll read enough books these upcoming weeks with the holidays... But I'll try to do something...

Can we use the upgrades more than once in the game?

Aww, there's definitely a reason I don't go to animal shelters. 💔

I don't understand when to do anything special so I'm just reading and logging. 🤣

Oh... I'll go update the spreadsheets then.

Not sure? I don't do buddy reads very often, so I'm just reading the explanations and going with what sounds like the closest fit...?

Also, I think Rogue Protocol will count for BR in Snowball Wars for Tier 3 since Lisa is a mod and she's one of the leaders? I'm gonna count it like that and if it gets removed, oh well, I thought I was doing the right thing lol.

Just finished. Those first chapter(s?) felt like throwaways. No bearing on the plot except to illustrate how much Murderbot hates humans?? It was hard to stay engaged through that. Once Murderbot decided (view spoiler)[to go to Miku (hide spoiler)], things picked up and was back to previous vibes.

It isn't always totally clear what Murderbot is searching for: it's a very generic premise like "I'm going to find evidence". Well, what are you looking for, finding, and understanding as pertinent?? It's like the worst mystery ever in that regard; I know that isn't an MPG but it's weird to dangle that in front of the reader without any additional information.

I loved Miki the most of the characters in this book! (view spoiler)[I was so sad and mad with how that turned out. (hide spoiler)]

I'm still curious about the series, but it's definitely waning. I believe there's one more short book before the chonker. So I'll probably try that one for sure, but not sure if I'll care about taking on the long book.

Finished Rogue Protocol. Thank goodness for full cast audio lol. Except keeping track of the names is a bit miserable. Now I just have to finish the book I cannot keep traction in...
