Looks fun! Can I still join? Also, since I'm new here, there are things I don't know. Re message 2, is it necessary to indicate interest beforehand?Or maybe I should wait for September. :)
There's a challenge going on like this in September, it starts the first Ashia. (I really like your name!) We got a late start for August though so it's going on until September 4th, you could try and get some books in before that if you like I'm sure Sassafrass wouldn't mind.
Would ya mind Sassafrass?
Mod
I have to make sure Kenjii is going to do the new review for this month, since it starts today!
