Hello team!

Your spreadsheet, Round 1 tab, has been updated with your first three characters: Mother Gothel, Yzma, & Shan Yu! Please remember that the challenge begins on 9/1 and that you only need to finish 4 tasks (out of the 8) before getting a new character.


FYI —this will be what the colors mean for the same round.
Light Orange will be a new character.
Light Purple will be when you complete the first 4 out of 8 tasks.
Dark Orange will be the new character you have but need to complete the remaining 4 tasks.
Dark Purple will be a fully completed characte

Happy Labor Day for those in the US!
My schedule calms down starting today. Aiming to get the below completed by today or tomorrow.

Breathe In, Bleed Out - Yzma: 'Chemical' in text (pg/% & quote) (Finished)
Deep End - Jafar: 'Snake'' in text (pg/% & quote) (Finished)

I read the yellow wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman today, it's only 30 pages long but would it count towards Yzma as the title has a Y?

Freida McFadden: the tenant - red cover (75%) - finished book

No, minimum page count is 100 pages - so it would need to be a set of stories but you CAN post for page points

thank you, I'm still getting my head round how to do this. here's my review of the tenant if you needed that also

I’m currently listening to the audiobook and while the narration is fine, I’m finding the story itself a little repetitive and flat. It just hasn’t gripped me in the same way as some of Freida McFadden’s other books. For me, it’s a 3★ read.
