Haven't read but at first glance, this should work:
1. Read a book with MPG Crime, Mystery, Thriller or Suspense that also meets the criteria for "Historical Mystery"
2. Read a book with MPG Crime, Mystery, Thriller or Suspense set in 1940s

Maybe there is more

@Jenny - I saw you added HP #6 into mini (5points), but it would be more points as Sin-bingo (7points)

The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

Of course I want to be like them. They’re beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. They will live forever.

And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. I hate him more than all the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe.

Jude was seven when her parents were murdered and she and her two sisters were stolen away to live in the treacherous High Court of Faerie. Ten years later, Jude wants nothing more than to belong there, despite her mortality. But many of the fey despise humans. Especially Prince Cardan, the youngest and wickedest son of the High King.

To win a place at the Court, she must defy him–and face the consequences.

As Jude becomes more deeply embroiled in palace intrigues and deceptions, she discovers her own capacity for trickery and bloodshed. But as betrayal threatens to drown the Courts of Faerie in violence, Jude will need to risk her life in a dangerous alliance to save her sisters, and Faerie itself.

Wrath Mini-Challenge was just announced.

Dibs!
Dean Winchester is mine :))

F - Failed, have to retake the exam. If not then you can take this subject one more time next year, if you fail again - drop-out is the only option for this person!

For foreign language certification, we have the same system.
I have B2 in Russian, did it in high school.

I would say in Estonia is pretty similar to the UK system.

In school: 5 is the highest and 0 lowest.
In Uni: A is highest and it goes down to F (lowest).
Same thing about certifications/exams etc.

Question about mini-challenges:

Are we going to have mini's (almost) every week for every sin until the end of the challenge or every other week or just randomly there and there?

One small boy had a baby Hammerhead shark, black as ebony, about three feet long. These must surely be one of the most curious of all fishy creations.

Will this work? It's non-fic.

I just want to be 100% sure before even starting it.

I'm also hoping to finish 3 books before the cut-off (my target is 1.5 per week).

No worries, Jenny. We have got your back. :))

Yeah, right! Totally forgot about that!

Thanks :))

@✿ Claire ✿ - Congratulations!! *Fingers crossed* I hope you will get that job!!!


Also, in my country, we don't wear robes, only our regular fancy/beautiful dress.

blue, right?

Characters shift into FALCON, SEA DRAGON, WOLF, and LEOPARD. Also, at one point, they hunt and kill and eat a RABBIT.

I know Elen claimed Sea Dragon already, so use it ..."


You can use it for Sea Dragon. I will look for another word/book to read.

The Zookeeper's Wife has Aardvark, Lionfish, Anteater, Gibbon, Glow Worm, Kakapo, Macaw, Stag Beetle

Anthology works, right?

Don't worry Jenny!!

Next week I have a little bit more time, so I'm thinking to read 3 books, so you can read longer ones.

Jenny wrote: "Red enough? I'm nor sure on this one. "

For me it's pink.

Anyone else?

Finished!
