Review: it took me a bit of time to understand what was going on because I didn't pay attention to the tags. AGAIN. So.
It's magic, supernatural, fantasy, everything I... do not like, really. But If I'm being honest, the book is good, it is well written and it was my first by this author even if I have a few on my TBR shelf. My preference goes to Cope, because well it's hard to read what happened to him, and he's just lost to the world. Not sure I'll read the next one for now.

Review: Wende, this one is for you. KILL. ME. NOW. This book is a pure plague to me. I was so tempted to stop @ 20% because it is torture to read. Discussions are not interesting. The story is not interesting. Main caracters are a lot of things but interesting (insta love, insta lust, clichés to death, etc.). I think I tried to open my veins with an electronic page at least 25 times, if not even more (I'm still here, as you can see, because my Kindle does nothing except making me read awful books it seems). You can guess, I didn't like it...

Sorry team! This task kind of defeated me, my books rather slow just not feeling it after busy week. Im going try find something short to do for tonight, but if one of you have one that fits feel free too and i shall pass xx
So i messed up... Im blaming lack of sleep but yeah i found a book on ku and just started reading based on page count there. After reading for a while, i checked on here to mention and of course it has a previous edition thats too low page count 😔

Thank you! Probably even less. Thank God for speed reading being my superpower.
Gustaf wrote: ".."Oh just realised its not long enough, we need 158 pgs or more! Sorry xx

No we don't? It will be a total of 1299...
I can be a fast reader during half terms and holidays, but yeah generally im slower in the week. Extra rules with new term for covid/lockdown, getting used too. Also got assigned a specific class to support full time for first time since started in january, which is great as step forward just take bit get used too and new things to learn. So been a busier week then expected and knackered...
Oh and congrats Emilienne for new job 🎉🎉
Laura, the task is 1200 not 1300. So we are golden.

So we're good?
Gustaf, I want to be in your team like for ever. For so many reasons.

Oh yeah your right! I am so silly, i dont know what i was thinking... Just was min pg count and i don't know i mixed it up in my head 😂
Your right
240 + 261 + 197 + 228 + 216 + 157
= 1,299
I love you all, but Gustaf has a special place in my book heart
Thank you both so much!!Yeah i definitely need to sleep, my brain is obviously not working 😂
Haha ok we are settled. Off to finish this book. (This is good for keeping me awake for Biden's speech). And Em, you just made my night.
Gustaf wrote: "What are you talking about? I'm so confused. If the total is 58 we should need 58... where's the 100 coming from?"Sorry i edited my post you both right, i was confusing things in my head with min pg count i dunno i wasn't including the 100... Just yeah 😬
Gustaf you made mine!!!I'm so excited about the new job I'm not sure I'll sleep a lot tonight.
But on the other side I'm exhausted, I'll probably sleep.
I don't know 😂
Gustaf, I'm crossing my fingers so hard for Biden to win this election...
Laura wrote: "Thank you both so much!!Yeah i definitely need to sleep, my brain is obviously not working 😂"

I was so skeptical about joining this, remember that you guys had to talk me into doing it. So happy I did, it's been a blast. Except for when I read Harry Potter and had a little meltdown lol.
I'm so happy we all met one way or another during SH.

Yay Gustaf!
We need to find another one for after the amazing race.
I'm an addict.
There's still bingo but, it's not the same.

Great to have you with us xxAgreed i was super anxious about sh, but your team were all so sweet and welcoming to me it was really nice to have you all to talk too. Met to talk with so many lovely people, everyones so kind and easy to talk too. Means a lot 😊
Diamond wrote: "what do you mean who?"Hi Diamond. I'm not sure its a good thing to come in and say you support Trump. You are totally free to support whoever you want, and I respect your choice and your convictions.
But we are a team very supportive of the LGBTQ (and more) community which is not the case of Trump. So it might be a bit sensitive as a subject.
I would be thankful if we could finish this challenge in peace with my teammates.

Thank you Em! This is exactly what I wanted to say but I would've been way less polite. Therefore my emoji. Anyway, I have a book to finish!
Gustaf, you are on a mission!! Stay focused lolMe? I'm going to take a shower because, well, it is needed at that point 😂
Exactly Em, i didn't know how to word politely either and you did it perfectly. Thank you 💕
Diamond wrote: "Well I really hope Donald Trump wins!!!!"Takes a lot of nerve to come on another team that is made up of people who support LGBTQ+ rights. So please take your backwards looking opinions to your own team as we really don't want or need to hear them. Good bye.

Gustaf it has been wonderful being on a team with you all.
Here is your LAST TASK:Read a book written by an authors whose initials are both in the first half of the alphabet (A-M) or both in the second half of the alphabet (N-Z). No pass for this task.
Books selected for this task have to be written by authors whose initials are wholly contained in either first half or the second half of the alphabet. You do not have to decide on first half or second half as a team. Each book just needs to fall into one or the other to work. If the author uses a middle name or initial, it must also fall into the same half of the alphabet as initials of the first and last names. Examples of qualifying authors would be Lorelei James, Amy Lane and Nora Roberts. Authors that would not qualify would include J.D. Robb, Sawyer Bennett and Sloane Kennedy. Also Jennifer L. Armentrout would work, but Susan Elizabeth Phillips would not. Each teammate must complete a book that qualifies for the team to complete the task. Additional books will add to the team's page count total in case a tiebreaker is needed. Remember to use the first edition Kindle page count.
I have no clue who this Diamond person is - just joined the group today and has made three comments, two here. The other one was also in another team challenge. So weird!
