I enjoyed it for the most part but wasn't really satisfied by the ending.

(view spoiler) I think it could have been better explained.

I'm afraid it doesn't :/

I just read two that were under 100 and it sucks, huh?

message 43: by Aqsa (last edited Feb 12, 2019 10:54PM) (new)

Aqsa (her_747) | 570 comments Hey guys!

See this: /topic/show/...

Which one do you want first?

We'll vote (right here)! Or should we have them simultaneously?

I vote for Simultaneously!


message 44: by Jess (new)

Jess Penhallow | 35 comments I think Simultaneously as well. That will give us the most options. But maybe we should focus on book pool first as that calls for specific books so we might need time to get them.


message 45: by mari (new)

mari | 39 comments I don't mind, i'm fine with whatever it is that you guys prefer!


message 46: by Aqsa (new)

Aqsa (her_747) | 570 comments Alright, we shall go for them all together. They'll be up soon. I'll discuss how we'll go about them once they start :)

Yes :) We'll look at them together, but we'll have till end of March anyway, right?
