Hi guys just wondering do you do this after you have read the book or can you do it during?

[݁⋆๋⊹Amber⊹ ݁ ˖, Games and Challenges Manager]

good question! usually people do it after but you can also do it during if you know how to go back and edit the message. id suggest doing it after, but really you can do whatever you want.

[Ellie agggtm biggest fan]
