Thanks for adding me, guys!! :)<3 <3 <3 Now I'm 1/13.
I've been biased against graphic novels.
Though, TH is not the best comic I've read, it was enjoyable enough. Plus, this is the Wonder Woman Gal Gadot is portraying... strong yet caring, honours her word, gives the benefit of the doubt, unassuming and with an open heart.

2. The theme of money or money on its cover (loose change). Not One of Us
Kind of a stretch, but the motive of the murders/attacks was money-related. There were other money motivated characters too.
Update to post 60.2/13
The symbolism was good but the whole thing stroke as too black or white for my taste. So life-changing I guess giving the set... Mansoul's citized required grace to be saved.
Thanks again, guys, for accepting me!

Update to post 60.4/13
Good phrases, non-existent theory of ethics.
Hi Library 🤗 Please change my goal from 9 to 14.Thanks.
Update msg 3: 8/14
Updating progress! I have completed my first prompt of 5 for “#3 - an adaptation to its original format” by reading The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. It was my first book read of 2021 and a 5 star one ☺️ It was originally published in Spanish and was translated (his works have been translated into more than 40 languages). Super pleased- it’s a 500 page book too and I’m realizing how much I adore a good lengthy novel. To top it all off I just found out that it is the first in a series so there’s three more books following it I’ll be reading too!
Update post 60.5/13
Excellent. I loved it. Bonnicksen presents both sides of the ethical debate and she explains perfectly the biological concepts in a way that's easy to understand for non-biologists.
Update message #11: 9/204. The author's initials found in the word "change" Mated To The Warriors
16. A changing household The Lost Love Song
17. An action or phenomenon that transforms society or the world. Mastered By Her Mates
19. Technological innovation A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
Great job Ziggy! :) You're the first to finish.

I've only read El Prisionero del Cielo, which I think it's the third one. There's a short story (really cool) that was for free in Kindle that was supposed to go between the second and the third book, I think.
