I'm so happy about this quest !! Soooo excited !!

I just read an article about RF Kuang's Katabasis release - it talked about The Poppy War and described it as "an epic fantasy that reimagines Mao Zedong as a teenage girl with magical powers fighting a series of wars for independence in a country loosely based on 20th century China." I knew the 20th century China part but had no idea Rin is supposed to be Mao Zedong, I am mindblown. Is this common knowledge??

Hi I really like this platform, but I feel like im missing out on the community part. Any tips?

I want to DNF so bad. I don't know; the story is not very gripping right now. Also, this guy is cringing me out. I bought the audiobook, but I just got a refund, so I’m gonna soft DNF until it’s available at my library. I’m only going to try again because I’ve seen people talk about how good the second half is. I’m not sure if it’s worth it at that point, but I’m nosey. Please let me know if you've finished and think it's worth finishing.

Not sure why Survivor is included in this list because Octavia Butler intentionally took it out of print. I'm not sure where you could even get a copy since libgen.is has been down for like a month. Octavia Butler said "When I was young, a lot of people wrote about going to another world and finding either little green men or little brown men, and they were always less in some way. They were a little sly, or a little like "the natives" in a very bad, old movie. And I thought, "No way. Apart from all these human beings populating the galaxy, this is really offensive garbage." People ask me why I don't like Survivor, my third novel. And it's because it feels a little bit like that. Some humans go up to another world, and immediately begin mating with the aliens and having children with them. I think of it as my Star Trek novel." The paperback is currently listed for sale for $795.00 on Amazon. I think this book should be taken out of the challenge.

I know it's only been 5 days but! Some exciting updates to share with everyone: Upcoming Readalongs The Fall Readalong starts on September 1st, and we've dropped the selections early so everyone has time to place library holds and make reading plans for the upcoming season! Head to the Discuss page to see a link to the selections (PS: we have our first horror pick) Keep an eye out in the Quest forums for Quest Readalong announcements - some of our Quest creators (Top Contributors) will be hosting readalongs in the fall as well, featuring a book from the Quest. You won't get a special badge for participating in these readalongs, but it will help towards earning the Quest badge of course :) Deleting Books and Reviews The long awaited quality of life update: you can now fully delete both reviews and books from your library 🥳 To delete a review: either click the three dots on the top right of the review card and select "delete", or if you're in your library, click on the review stars on a book card and hit "delete" in the edit modal. To delete a book from your library: click Delete on the bottom left of the book status modal NOTE: setting a book's status back to "none" is not the same as deleting! You can have books in a "none" status on your custom shelves still. To fully delete a book, you must click the delete button. Happy reading! Jennifer & Lucy 💙💜

Why did I out of the blue wanna start the Poppy War when I'm literally already reading other books? I'm gonna regret this aren't I?

Finally, a list I feel I can complete, ahah Maybe the GoT will ruin it for me, but we'll see 😏
