I just checked and it's working."
Aha, thank you! Didn't spot it!
Excuse me but I do have a question. It says Read a Book from this List Portal. Which portal or list is that? I can't find a link. There are no books that I can find when I click the link of the World Book Day.

Oh, I was informing the woman who shared it. I'm thinking she'd like to know so that she can add a functioning link for the rest of us.

I don't know if you're interested in true crime or if any of these would be available in your language,..."Thank you so much but I've seen movies and TV-series about the Zodiac Killer so I'm not that interested in reading about it also. One of the two books I might consider reading is a Japanese crime classic about a zodiac killer in Tokyo, that one I can get in English. Apart from that I could of course choose a book in astrology but I'm more interested in finding another fiction novel about something completely different which happens to just mention the word in a chapter or so.
Like with the word Horoscope. I just read an Indian crime novel, and since astrology is so important in India one chapter was suddenly about investigating a potential husband that a family had found for their daughter after consulting a professional astrologer who made the most detailed horoscopes. The word was mentioned a few times so I used it for the prompt here.
(I'm not that interested in reading the phantasy book mentioned not because it's phantasy but because they seem to contain to much teenage romance for my taste. I really don't like romance so therefore I don't like those romantic phantasy books for NA.)
But I might just look for a book in astrology in Swedish. 🙂
Thank you for your kind approach Kristie, I appreciate your kindness ⊂(◉‿◉)つ

Hi,
do you by any chance happen to know if the word Zodiac is to be found in Ninth House as well? I've just ordered the book and I prefer reading that one before Hell Bent. And I can't read both, my reading challenges and reading schedule is more than overfilled. I know it's a tricky question, who remembers every single word in a book(!?) - but would you find it possible at least? If you've read it? Thanks 🙏🌺
