I am such a super serious reader you guys and I want all my points!!!
I saw these at a book store, and while I did read all 12 words of each book (24 points total!!!!!), I mostly want to tell you how totally cute they are. Needle-felted illustrations coupled with text that doesn't do much to tell any kind of story, but who cares, everybody loves whales fighting boats and Regency-era social commentary (though not necessarily in the same story I guess? Have they started crossing Jane Austen over with other literary classics? I feel like this should have happened already).
They were pretty darn cute, but I found the story to be a little lacking (a collection of nouns and imperative verbs, without a single clause or even phrase to be found, does not make for a very cohesive narrative). So 8/10!!!!!!
Word count: 24!!!!!!

Ok but actually here are all these books I'm trying to read right now... WHICH ONE WILL I FINISH FIRST / WILL I EVER FINISH ANY / ONLY TIME WILL TELL
(Just in case you didn't think I was a super serious reader)

Hey I read that Pride & Prejudice one I deserve my 12 points.
Have they started crossing Jane Austen over with other literary classics?
Hmm this is something I should know a lot about and I think the honest answer is... not really? I think Sense & Sensibility & Sea Monsters is as close as you're going to get to a whale-fighting Regency novel. The culture is so isolated that crossover doesn't really make sense.
