So I was reading reviews of this book on Goodreads since it has more reviews there and there was a review marked as non-spoilery but as I got to the end there was a quote from the end of the book (like towards the end)š What bothered me is that it was a huge revelation and plot twist, which makes it a spoilerš© I haven't read the whole quote, I only caught a glimpse of it and escaped but it was enough to spoil some of the conflict resolution for mešš Am I overreacting or am I justified to be upset? Would you feel the same? What do you think of this issue?

I was made aware today that we reached the cap limit for books (100), actually we passed it. š„¹
Iām no longer in charge of this quest, but it was amazing, I love movies and I love books, so it was a dream to me to be able to take care of it for the time I did.
Hopefully good things will come for this quest. āŗļø Iāll continue to be here!
Much Love Miawgical. āØš

MiniButMighty commented on displacedcactus's review of Blood Sweat Glitter
A common complaint about romance novels is that the theme or characters' jobs are just window dressing, barely actually showing up on the page. This book is the opposite -- it's mostly roller derby, very little romance. There's training, bouts, and strategizing, and then at the very end, the two characters suddenly get together.
I'm also not very clear on the timeline -- it appears that there were 6-8 weeks between mid-Nov and mid-Dec based on the amount of practices the characters had.
Really, it's just so hard to pull of a romance in a novella. I think if this book had been 50-100 pages longer, the characters and their romance would have had the time to shine and win me over.
Content note: You wouldn't expect it based on the cute cover, but COVID trauma is a big theme of this book.

As youāve likely noticed thereās a lot of YA/Adult Novels & Novellas included in this quest and a few outliers here and there. I want to discuss what kind of books you want to see in the future. Keep in mind there will be no more than 100 books added to this quest in the totality of itās existence (weāll be working our way up to there starting at 40 books and adding an average of 5 books every 3 months (ideally)) Hereās whatās up for discussion:
Horror Erotica: Do you want to see it in the quest? It would certainly open up our horizons and options more but if no one wants any, it doesnāt have to be included. We already have a few horror romance options in the quest so I donāt think it would be a big deal to add horror erotica but I know those books can be a little harder to come by. I was thinking of adding somewhere between 1-5 in the mix.
Horror Manga: As you can likely tell, I havenāt included any quite yet but I wanted to see if anyone has any explicit interest in it. An example would be The Summer Hikaru Died, Vol 1 in which I would only add the first volume because thereās no need to flood the quest with one manga series. I was thinking somewhere around 3-5.
Horror Graphic Novels & Comics: I will be including Graphic Novels in this quest but I wanted to discuss if we also wanted horror comics including: An example would be House of Slaughter, Vol. 1: The Butcherās Mark. I also wanted to discuss how many GNs we would like to see in this quest. I was thinking, eventually, around 15 GNs and/or comics in the mix but that benchmark could be moved up or done depending on feedback.
Middle Grade/Childrenās Horror: Do we want to see more of it? I know thereās already a LGBTQ+ Middle Grade quest so there could be a small bit of overlap but thatās not necessarily a bad thing.
Please feel free to discuss anything else you might want to see more/less of in this quest. Iām very passionate about this quest but Iāll always want some sort of input from yāall. Thank you in advance for sharing your opinions with me. š«¶š½

Can't help but feel like this is missing something. The writing isn't bad and I like the storyline so far, but I just don't care enough. Maybe I should read the french edition instead...
