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

I finished Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro.

I'm starting Field Notes on Love by Jennifer E. Smith which shoulf be a quick and easy read.

I just finished Gingerbread by Helen Oyeyemi. Probably easiest to assign to a G country, though author initials would work for Honduras and no doubt others.

I'm now working on Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro which I will finish today or tomorrow. I'm spending the evening at my parents' house which will slow down my reading progress, but plan to still devote most of the weekend trying to make a dent in my huge stack of library books.

Happy weekend, all!

Gingerbread

267 for 3/8

Madame Bovary

I finished Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert.

360 for the 7th

I just finished Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor which could work for Lichtenstein based on the author's initials.

Im etill working on Madame Bovary and im starting on Gingerbread.

Our map is looking good, team!

My guess for the fourth author: (view spoiler)[Cecelia Ahern (hide spoiler)]

Hello team! Work has really slowed me down mid-week, but I'm almost done with Strange the Dreamer (I just couldn't keep my eyes open last night to power through the last 60 pages or so). I definitely plan on getting in some good reading this weekend so will finish the read-a-thon strong!

I also started Madame Bovary, but I'm not positive if I'll get that one finished before the end of the read-a-thon since I only have it on audio at the moment.

450 for 3/6

I finished Heat Storm by Richard Castle. Not sure if/where it fits (not on my computer to check the spreadsheet, sorry!).

345 pages

In case we wind up wanting backups, I'm currently about half-way through Heat Storm by Richard Castle and I expect to finish in the next day or two because I'm doing it largely on audio and I have a lot of driving to do tomorrow.

I'm also working on Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor, but I think it is going to be slow going until the weekend hits again as it is a pretty hefty book and I'm less than 50 pages in.

268 for day 4

The Almost Sisters

I finished The Almost Sisters for ... Austria I think we had it down for.

667 pages for day 3
