Who are you guys trying to save?? I'll try to read for Stephen King, don't know how it's gonna go lol

[Alaina]

I honestly don't have a plan right now lol. I think I just need more coffee before I start saving any author.

I'm surprised I got through scores with barely a cup in me. Definitely need more yummy coffee before I dive into a book lol

And I need to have lunch now before picking anything. The book I was going to start with has left scribd, so I'll have to spend some time thinking about what to read.

14 hours and 8 minutes left of Round 2!

[Ellen-Arwen]

Umm... I've added nothing yet - I'm sorry! My style has generally been to add everything at the end which I now realise isn't going to work for this monthly challenge. I'll try and get my act together - I don't even know what authors are left - gah! Need to write my reviews straight away like I should do...

[Ellen-Arwen]

Oh my goodness, someone has been putting my books in! I feel so bad - I will catch up and get things together. This has just been such an awful month so far and I'm having to decide whether to suspend studies at uni because of stress :(

I'll try and work out how the challenge works at least lol

I hope you feel better soon! I almost suspended uni because of stress a while back as well, so do whatever is best for your mental health <3

Sorry to be really thick (I've been wondering this for about three months now lol), but what does MPG mean? Like, the prompts: MPG fantasy and MPG classic?

(Also, sorry for my lack of reading - uni is horrible. Thank you so much Tayane, it's good to know that other people understand. I hope things are better for you now lovely!)

MPG is Main Page Genre, so those genres that appear on the side when you open the page of a book here on Goodreads.

[Tayane]

And thank you so much! Things are better now. A new semester is starting next week, it's going to be the first back at uni (in person) since the pandemic started, so I'm nervous but also happy to see some people again.
