January MCU Prep 

It's December so we need to start getting ready for January!

I would like to host if thats ok.

 

Who wants to do:

- Monthly Playlist

- Quotes (book, inspirational, CB)

- Threads to check

- Important dates 

- Book of the month 

 

Also any Ideas for - LMWAY (last month we asked you) and the advice column?

For LMWAY I was thinking, What are your New Years Reseloutions?

I can do important dates, if that's okay- unless someone already claimed that!

<crzoo> Somethin' about a crazy zoo... I think all zoos are crazy to some exutent, though.

Unfortunately it looks like Celine claimed it instead, but you can still do book quotes, inspirational quotes, or threads to check/monthly playlist (depending on which one pangolin chooses)

oh i just wanted to say that i definitely haven't forgotten about this! i'm going to do threads to check out, if that's alright. i'll do them closer to january first so that it's the most up-to-date, if that makes sense :]

also, absolutely no pressure or anything, but we should try to post the mcu questions up as soon as possible so that we have time to get plenty of responses by january first :]
