Wednesday 9/15 - 34 pages

Welcome Caitie.

Good Morning All. I had a terrible reading day Tuesday. It took me forever to pick a book to read. I went with [book:The Obelisk Gate|26228034 because it will help me finish the individual challenge. For the team challenge it works for Ogres the letter the book starts with is in Ogre. It works for Dragons Norbert. I only read 20 pages the best I can tell. I can only get location on the ebook. I can't get page numbers. Hopefully today I will get more pages read.

Tuesday 9/14 - 20 pages

Hi All. Robin when you have a chance can you add more columns to the planning tab? My next book is The Obelisk Gate but I can't add it to the planning tab. Thank You.

Good Morning Team Narnia. I put Whispering Rock: A Virgin River Novel under dragons for fiery character. I haven't picked my next read but since Sphinx is completed I feel the pressure is off. Congratulations Karissa on finishing the 2021 challenge.

9/13 - 198 pages

Great work team. We are doing great. Love the meme Ellie. My first check in today. I was focused on finishing Whispering Rock (Virgin River, #2) by Robyn Carr. There are a few spots I can put it. Brie is fiery but there was discussion about Olive Kitteridge going under dragons so I throught I would see what everyone thought. Also it can go under a book with a person with long hair on the cover. Also it is set in a rural town so you all let me know where to put it.

Sunday 2/12 - 98 pages

I realized that the edition of Whispering Rock I was reading did have a woman with long hair on it. .

9/11 - 141 pages

Good Morning Team Narnia. I'm reading . Unfortunately the cover has buildings on it not a woman with long hair. I won't finish today but will log pages read tonight. We had a great start can't wait to see how we do today.

I finished Shelter Mountain (Virgin River, #2) by Robyn Carr. I put it under Dragons a book with a source of light on the cover.

Good Morning Team Narnia. I'm so excited to start the Read-A-Thon. I'm reading It will fit Ogres 200 points set in a rural town or Dragons 250 points source of light on the cover. I'm leaning toward the higher points. I stopped reading last night with 110 pages left so I should finish today.
