Bookish Reality's Creature Compendium - hosted by parchmentandflour

Week 5 Prompts
 1. Novellas & Graphic Novels/Manga are all double points this week!

  • For novellas - as long as it is classified as a novella on goodreads you are good (novellas are commonly considered between 70 - 160 pages but if something is classified as novella on goodreads/storygraph that will also count).


2. Read a book with an ‘unusual’ main character!

  • You can go with your gut and TBR on this one! Some examples for contemporary or romance books could be a non-mainstream MC in regards to societal beauty standards or a person you don’t normally see represented. Some examples for fantasy/sci-fi/horror think non-human, anti-hero, villain, mythical creature, unknown narrator, etc!
