So I got the blue and yellow edition and the first nine (!) pages are just praise for the book. For me one page (or a couple on the front or back cover) would have been more than enough.

I feel like these are creating such a hype ("Ingenious, genre-defining masterpiece, extraordinary, epic, ...") and the reader will dive into the book with such high expectations that it could possibly have a reverse effect. Like, what are you trying to cover up and why that much convincing that this book is amazing?

I would love to hear thoughts on this.

(Time travel always means paradoxes, but:) Maybe I've been exposed to too much time-travel media, or more likely have an unrealistic idea of how I'd behave in this situation, but it's annoying me how slow on the uptake Jen is on what is happening/how it works?? Like the emails she already sent for her 'yesterday' is now 'tomorrow'-- but it takes a long time for her to understand that each new day has functionally "erased" her previous actions 🙄

I need some help. I thought some other people might need it too.

I'm struggling to find books for 2 prompts, if anyone has suggestion it would be most helpful! I have included the prompt rules too.

Familial terms in the title - This must be five DIFFERENT familial terms. No boyfriend/girlfriend and husband/wife don't count. i.e Brother, sister, uncle, father... etc.

Numerical Titles - You must do the words one through ten plus one more of a random number. Yes, you may use the words translated into other languages, you may not use "Vol. 1" for manga/comics, etc. Must be the TITLE.

If anyone has a prompt they are struggling with, please feel free to ask below, and I'll see if I can help. Also, thank you in advance to anyone who helps. ❤️
