I'm at 70%. I'll definitely be done in two days but quite possibly done tmw.

how are you finding it?

[Ruby]

It's alright. For the first third of the book I was waiting for something more interesting to happen. I think I'm liking Verse 4 a bit more than earlier in the book.

i lovee them. but i like august more!

[B , Bookish Bhavya {trying to be active again!}]

ny_the_bookworm wrote: "i like kate’s spin lines and august’s personality"

same here!

[Ruby]

Finished. I liked the last third more that the rest of it. I felt like the ending was appropriately and realistically dramatic; closer to how people would actually act in a crisis. (view spoiler)[lotta begging and pleading for pain to stop, etc. (hide spoiler)]

Ruby wrote: "What happened to the other teammates? Or what should we do?"

i think they will respond soon. if they don't we will carry on. we can start scythe on the 10th!

I guess I don't really understand if one book satisfies only one prompt or more.

[Ruby]

ny_the_bookworm wrote: "how is everyone doing reading wise?"

Good. Ready to start Scythe tmw.

I assumed one book fulfills one prompt so I personally originally matched TSS with Libra 8 but whatever the group decides is obv ok with me

One book for one prompt!

[B , Bookish Bhavya {trying to be active again!}]

ny_the_bookworm wrote: "has everyone finished this savage song?"

yes.

[B , Bookish Bhavya {trying to be active again!}]

we could target finishing the 10 of libra.

[B , Bookish Bhavya {trying to be active again!}]

ny_the_bookworm wrote: "oh ya i know only one book per hahah. i was just looking to see which prompts fit.

[B , Bookish Bhavya {trying to be active again!}]
