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

Added it for you Kathy since Ihad it open (assuming for the 15th, not that its critical)! Happy travels!

It doesn't look like Nancy's pages are in yet, so I think we finished!

I finished Sorry I'm Late, I Didn't Want to Come: An Introvert’s Year of Living Dangerously which has questions on the back which I think is already covered. More importantly, more pages!

Well done, folks! Wasn't too thrilled that my pup woke me up at 6:30a on a Satursay, but at least I'm here to start reading for the final push! :)

6/14 - 827 pages

Looks like we need about 900 pages to get to bucket 20 if my math is close to right. :)

Sounds like we had a few buzzy book options, but I can't remember if someone had a question book? My current read would work, so will check before finishing it tomorrow.

Okay, I just finished Tokyo Tarareba Girls, Vol. 1 which was inspired by the 2020 Olymics and references it throughout, so definitely good on the Olympic front.

I'm breaking for dinner, but should get some more pages in!

I just read Lumberjanes, Vol. 2: Friendship to the Max which is illustrated and it looks like we're past the 32K mark. We should be good to go on to the next bucket unless I'm misreading.

I hope you're feeling better, Kelly!

How funny, Jill - I'm about to start"

I just read it this month foo... great minds read alike?

Sounds good (though I think we still need the illustrated book first if I didn't miss anything).

Jill wrote: "The book I am finishing tonight is Home Fire. I see there is a mission called Fire and Smoke. Not sure if that works."

I would think yes. It just says it needs to be related to a mission name. (I had the same thought for With the Fire on High before we used it elsewhere.)

If needed as backup, I have a Jason Segel book on my TBR and 'Jason' is on the mission name list, but I'd be starting from scratch so would take a while to read.

I also listened to 5 chapters of the Scorpio races on audio book but have no idea how many pages that would be."

For audio, I usually look at total number of pages on Goodreads, then figure out approximately what percentage of the book I listened to to guesstimate.

Using this to see if I can fond anything on my shelves that would work for NASA.

I only have 10 pages left on my Olympics related read.

If you have claimed a spot on the community spreadsheet, don't forget to update it periodically!

Not entirely off topic... I updated fairly recently, but definitely have some readathon reads to go update! :)

6/13 - 476

I'm working on Sorry I'm Late, I Didn't Want to Come: An Introvert’s Year of Living Dangerously. The author is half Chinese which I think would count, though I strongly suspect someone else will finish a POC author book first. If I do get close to finishing, I will check back because it would also work for the long title prompt.

I'm sitting here laughing at myself because I only saw the cute stuffed bunny and entirely missed the horse and was very confused! Clearly my coffee was not caffienated enough!

In any case, should definitely count. :) I will keep working on adding pages to my tally so we can be ready to move on when we get another POC author book done.

I was able to finish With the Fire on High which would count for the author of color prompt.

EDIT: I have Prodigal Summer which definitely has animals involved that I'll keep working on as a backup. :)
