Posted February 1, 2023 Book Number: 131 Number Of Pages: 300 Book Title: Fearless Magic Author: Rachel Higginson Question: I know how to work manga for this challenge, but would a similar concept apply for novellas? For example, I have 2 coming up in my current series, one is around 75 pages, one is around 90. Could I add them together in one entry to count as a book? Share this post Link to post

That's a good question, never thought about that. If they are part of the same serie (or added to another novel of the serie they are part of), why not. Tho if they are stand alones, I would not count them (as for mangas/comics it says they have to be part of a serie and I would apply the same rule to novellas). Can others give their opinion on this ? I know I'm the host but I'm the original one (the account who started this have been inactive for a few years now) so I didn't make the rules.

Posted February 2, 2023 Book Number: 7 Number Of Pages: 412 Book Title: Endsinger Author: Jay Kristoff Summary: The finale of the Lotus War trilogy exposes the truth of the Guild and the Lotus Blooms. As the invaders and Shimans work together to save the world from the emergence of Hell, Yukiko and Buruu must rally the other arashitora and anyone they can for one final stand against the ultimate evil. The series closed well with this book, but due to the cultural insensitivities in the first book, and the fact the climax of this felt rushed, I can't recommend this series.

I think this is a great compromise, I'll do this unless we hear any objections. Thank you!

Posted February 3, 2023 Book number: 27 Number of pages: 202 Book Title: The Chronicles of Narnia, Book 1: The Magician's Nephew Author: C. S. Lewis Summary: Digory and Polly meet and become friends one cold, wet summer in London. Their lives burst into adventure when Digory's Uncle Andrew, who thinks he is a magician, sends them hurtling to . . . somewhere else. Review: I had read at least this book and the next in the series, years ago when my kids were growing up. The series is a nice children's story at one level and something deeper on another.

Review: I had read at least this book and the next in the series, years ago when my kids were growing up. The series is a nice children's story at one level and something deeper on another. I grew up with the original written order of this series and am very sad that I can't find them anymore. I know the order was re-arranged at the request of C.S. Lewis's estate, but I loved reading The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe first. Book Number: 8 Number Of Pages: 339 Book Title: An Empty Swing: The Ravenwood Hauntings Book 1 Author: N.J. Hanson Summary: While trying to escape from a bully, Luis Chavez runs to a playground to discover something scarier than his bully: he can see, hear, and interact with ghosts. After the ghost he meets, Alice Thomas, saves him from his bully, Luis realizes he can help bring peace not only to Alice, but to the other restless spirits that haunt the playground. But do all the spirits want to find rest? See spoiler for trigger warnings: Spoiler Rape, murder, pedophilia, violence, graphic broken bones and blood, arson. Share this post Link to post

The ending felt a bit rushed, but it was okay. I'd try another book by Foley at some point, if given the chance. Share this post Link to post
