Zarandra | 21 comments About the first hundred pages I doubted that it was wise to chose a book, because of its cover (in this case mainly because of that crazy title). I didn't like the clichés and the mocking with the names. But the further I read the more I got pulled into the plot and began enjoying the story. It is full of weird ideas, but the more I engaged with it, the more I started to like it. It was definitely worth reading it.

Which category did you want this book to be in? Let me know, and I'll edit it. Thanks!

Zarandra | 21 comments Sorry, don't know what I was doing, was sure to put it at 'chosen by its cover'... I'm still struggling with the app...

Are you on a mobile device? I usually use my computer, but it looks like if you're using the app, if you find the category you want, then tap the plus button at the upper right it should add the discussion to that folder.

I think...

Zarandra | 21 comments Thank you. Yes, I use an iPhone 5s. I thought I was using the +button at the 'chosen by cover' categorie... Not sure either I got things mixed up or it was the phone... The first book appeared in the right place. I'll concentrate with the third one to figure it out, but I still have 90% to read ;-)
