HIII IVE LITERALLY ONLY MET 4 OF THE 6 BUT IT HAS TO BE JESPER HE'S JUST SO HOW PEOPLE ARE MEANT TO BE but i do dearly love inej & kaz and i haven't entirely formed an opinion on nina yet but she seems cool [tiktok spoilt one of the major character deaths for me so i'm not sure what to make of one of the characters if u get my gist 😓]

i find it so unbelievable that kaz is the scariest thing in the barrel though like literally if you took his walking stick away and kicked him in the leg then what . whatever i love to see a girlboss cooking her malewife or however the saying goes

noo not the tiktok spoiler 😔😔💔💔

this is everyone’s reminder to log any books they’ve read this month here for your team!! it’ll get very exciting once teams start locking in and winning <33

ugh trust i want to read but i have sm homework to do 😓 speedrunning homeostasis past papers for my sunday exam as i speak

but i will grind we're getting eclipsed to the crown or throne or whatever it is 😈

Btw is there a ‘genre of the month’ for the 15 points this month? I didn’t see it

not yet! i’m planning to do more add-ons (genre of the month, theme of the month, botm, etc) once we’ve hit a month! this is bc i didn’t want to overwhelm people joining the group, and also because my finals and my worlds competition are both happening at the end of this month :)

I forgot to do the plus 10 for the 400 plus pages on His Mortal Demise so it was 125 not 115

@totoro you read Before the coffee gets cold for the botm on the other group here in GR?
Do you consider it multi POV? Cause it’s like 3rd person but we are also in the head of different characters

Inferno's Heir
Additional book +10 points

@carolina I haven’t actually read it yet but that sounds like multiple pov to me :) would you get the points on both books?

I read 3 books so far - Before the Coffee Gets Cold, Tales from the Café and Before Your Memory Fades - so that would be +5 for the 3.
So +15 in total @totoro , thank you :)

@rorie got ur points in now, and @carolina sounds good!
