Congrats, Celest! You still have plenty of time to finish the other 9.

Hey! I finished this with the read-a-thon!

I'm working on my 2nd last! slowly... :p"

Go, Tien! I have 5 to go.

Michelle wrote: "Message #22 updated to 3/10 complete! (plus my bonus books! haha)"

Counting the bonus books, I would say you have read 8 on your list. You need to complete 10 to move onto Found.

Hi, Joanna...here's some for your consideration:

My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry
Hollow City
The Vine Witch

I am going to crow a bit here, and I realize that some of you read much more than I do...but, I read 997 pages not counting the book for the prompt! I just wanted to say thanks, to y'all...and to Tien for this read-a-thon. It feels good to have done so much better than my usual.

Lusie wrote: "wow you went so fast! I yet have to start reading"

As I said, it was an easy read. Thoroughly enjoyed the book. And, I am proud that I read all 973 pages in a month!

I have 60 pages to go. I WILL FINISH this book today!

Tien, I see that you have already totalled Monday's pages...however, I just posted mine.

Team goal completed and posted.

Team B: Goal completed
Prompt 1 (Out of comfort zone) - (Meg) Revenge
Prompt 2 (Big book) - (Dee) The Gilded Hour
Prompt 3 (Owned books) - (Bea) As a Driven Leaf
Prompt 4 (Series) - (Coralie) The Winter of the Witch
Prompt 5 (Comfort reads) - (Susan) Odd One Out
Prompt 6 (DIY) - (Meg) Below Deck

Good news! I found a way to read that BIG book, so I might just make it (only 200 pages to go). Plus, I will finish my prompt today.

My wrist is slowly getting better, but I am still limited in what I can do....so it is read, read, read!
