Hello!!
Welcome to Tower Teams, have you played before?

I'm Paula, I'm from Chile and my native language is spanish but I read books in english too. I work in mining consultancy and right now I'm working from home (due to lockdown).
I haven't read the Discworld books, but I think I'll be joining the Mort's BOM in june, I hope to like it hahah.

For those who haven't created a TT shelf yet, please do and link it here. Thank you!

I'm sure we'll have a great time
