It was the ‘Final Notice’ comments. I’ve read so many reviews for that book that I got bored and didn’t craft enough detail into the comments. I’d like not to do BOTD anymore, it takes up too much time and I need 2 wins to pay for the postage from the US. Problem is, it’ll bump me back down to level 4 *sigh*

B for bomb (I’m starting to suspect that this battleship is a speed boat)

BOTD isn't too bad for me. I don't do first ten as I feel that's more time-consuming. For comments, I usually name the main character. In your case, it is such a pity because you "know" the book.

Maybe there's a K for know in Gravy's word!

I gave up on the first ten quite quickly. Good advice on the comments, thanks. I suppose I will continue with BOTD, just not bother getting excited about the league anymore.
