Emily’s Comments (group member since Jan 04, 2017)

Emily’s comments from the Around the Year in 52 Books group.

(I've stolen your spreadsheet list for my own team, thank you for the resource, Jessica!)

Yes, numbers don't always number for me, but you read 9 books, then the 10th has to be a TPBM book... whatever I did on the spreadsheet lol

Rachel, you can join Batman & Robin!

I've also copied over the TPBM page from Team Batman & Robin (bless them) for us to have a list of all the TPBM books in one place. If someone wants to update it from here, you can, or I can copy it over as they add updates (I keep them all open all during the Read-a-thon so it's not a huge deal).

If anyone was planning on reading any of those books, let us know so we can plan for that!

Don't overthink it! Basically anything can count, it's more about answering the questions with the group than it is about getting books to fit perfectly.

(The other mods warned me this would happen but I liked the idea too much to not see how it goes lol)

I ended up not finishing my book yesterday, and I was up at midnight with a sick toddler so I got 116 pages read after midnight, which I'm going to count for this read a thon lol.

Question: What's one thing that can instantly make your day better?
Book: The Otherwhere Post
Answer: A note from a friend! The book is a fantasy world where two regions are cut off from each other and only couriers who can do magic can transport letters between the two regions.

I have a feeling this challenge will be a lot of "I'm reading the book, I'll see how it fits once I read it", which is fine!

To be fair Kendra, most people hated it lol. Let's pretend we are talking about the musical Elphie and Galinda!

Hahaha I would NOT allow it, but we have gotten far enough in the thread that I'll let it slide for now. Let's avoid getting hyper specific in our request, folks!

The History of Sound (has a whole short story or two set in the forest)

TPBM recommends a book with multiple POVs

Nancy, you can join me as a captain on Tom & Jerry - I was alone and I probably need a helper

Edie & Brittany, you can join Timon & Pumbaa
Ciara, you can join Elphaba & Galinda

Haha! I think that's acceptable - if someone recommended the second book in a series, I think it's fine to read the first (or whatever).

Sure, any book that is on GR is fair game, as long as it meets the page requirements

Joyce, you can join Tom & Jerry!

Illuminae

TPBM recommends a book they read and loved last year.

I've added everyone to a team through message 40! This is still open - feel free to comment if you'd like to participate!

Happy Read-a-Thon, cat and mousers!

This one's a bit different so here's the FAQ page for reference: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

It will be open throughout the week, then we will move it to the Fun and Games folder! (Obviously, I just ask that you don't set your team up with a category like "a book you hope to read during the read-a-thon" lol)
