This week was another narrow win for Team DC, for whom Hana recruited Martian Manhunter and Wayland recruited Catwoman while also taking away the acievement for being the first player to defeat Bane. And that was a close achievement, cause only 2 minutes later, Lel reported her defeat of Bane for Team Marvel. In addition to Bane's beat-down by Lel, Christina also recruited Rocket Raccoon.
Both teams acquired 1 Energy Cell and Team DC is only one cell away from adding their first portal hero to their roster.

Wow, that sucks. How'd that happen?

[Shawnie]

A misunderstanding with a family member who was perusing my account. :/ No, let's not delete and no, that's not funny. I'm so thankful I had the challenge comments to find most of the books.

[Kevin]

There's a way you can back up your shelves onto your computer for future reference. Goodreads is known to be glitchy with these things too so it's no harm to have something to fall back on.

[Shawnie]

Great idea! I hear the Groups have been glitchy recently.

I do a monthly back up just in case . I'd hate to lose my reviews
