Thanks V I was ace both times actually I thought this month I might be Star due to lack of time but I think I've already crossed 1k so it's gonna be pro. August se I'll try to aim for the higher ranks I wanna have all the badges at least once

Yay!! I'm glad you liked it! That book was quite different from what I expected it to be, but it was so sweet and wholesome that I ended up loving it also, I have such a thing for chaotic close-knit friend groups

I did notice your stalking but stalk all you want, I'm happy if you find recs from my logs I think everyone is stalking everyone since the challenge started I kinda feel like I'm the one lagging behind in this aspect

Btw since you liked Bingsu you might wanna check out Dungeons and Drama by Kristy Boyce. I read it this month, and I loved it sm ❤️ it's quite different from Bingsu but also a bit similar. I think I saved my review in drafts, might post it in my team thread if I feel like it. I love books that make me all warm and smiley

What did you think of it?

Feel free to join our buddy read if you like, we are just reading 2 chapters per day. Thats nothing for you.

Did you start it? I might try playing catch up with you guys, but I can't commit to any schedule rn also I haven't actually read anything of Rina Kent before, so I'm hoping you might give me a review

It was a nice read, Hani and Ishu. The Bengali rep miffed me a bit bcz of inaccuracies, and some of the side characters felt kinda caricaturish at times, but overall I did like the book. Wbu?

Sure ill give you a review when im done. But if you do decide to join, we are only on chapter 13.

Im enjoying Hani and Ishus GTFD so far. But im surprised since youre saying theres inaccuracies, i thought the author was Bengali herself I have Bengali relatives, and so far the info seems pretty relatable to me
