I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. And the funny thing is that I have been reading Mercedes Lackey since I was a teenager and even though I haven't read her a lot of her newer books I still keep track of them, but somehow this book was not on my radar until last year.

Penguin 2. Where Penguins live- Read a book with snow the cover or where one of the settings is made of snow or ice. The Snow Child Snow on the cover, snow in the title, set in Alaska and a character possibly made of snow. I think it counts. ;) 2/3 for Penguin.

message 168: by Wayland, Ernest Scribbler (new)

Wayland Smith | 3551 comments Mod
Once again not speaking for Mpauli, he's the man in charge, but in years past he's taken people as late as they want to join.

My expectation, with the caveat that it's not binding, is you'll both be able to join.

Why you're both joining DC I don't know. :P

Bana AZ (anabana_a) Question. Does the BotM have to be strictly read on that month for it to count as an energy cell or can we use the BotMs of January to add an energy cell in June?

Hi Ana, You have to read the BotMs in the month it is the group's read in order for it to count as an energy cell.

Kirsty Cabot (kirstycabot) | 1924 comments Mod
As long as they're books that have been entirely read in 2016 they can't count.
I'm sure MPauli will confirm though :)
