Thanks Teresa.

OK, I'm leaving now. Anything else just post it here, I'll be back in 8 hours or so

**crossing fingers and hoping for not having the night before going camping syndrome and be able to sleep that much*

[Turtlecollector Dennis]

Cerulean (AKA Hobbit Blue) looks correct!

Thanks, Teresa! You and Mrs. Dresden are great Captains. ☺

Aw, thanks! :) We've learned from the best -- our group mods!

Since I had my bout of "night before going camping" last night, I'm off to bed, so tired. I hope to get at least one paragraph read before I crash, LOL! Goodnight, everyone. Looking forward to starting the RaT tomorrow.

Edited post #186 to include Michelle to Electric Lime for 600 pages.

[Lisa Kay]

Sweet Dreams, Teresa!

Quick Question: Do all the pages for the Readathon have to be from books started during the Readathon?

Example: I have been reading Count of Monte Christo and am about 25% done. Can I continue to read it as long as I know what page I am on at 8am PDT when the Readathon starts.

Just books finished after the RaT starts because GR doesn't take any notice of start date when it works out the pages

Thank you so much!

Is cadet blue - we are all about eye candy uniforms *giggles*

Will check into the list - yes, I'm still holding to the illusion that I will have some reading time during the Read-a-Thon combined with the craziness and demands from work lately... A woman can dream...don't take my dream away!!!!

I've posted my ideas for our theme and mini-challenge in our team thread. I asked the team for feedback on both and will send the final version to you in time.

Thanks, Oo! That would be Cadet Blue. I coincidentally found that last night but I didn't post it because I was heading to bed. Going to update our RaT thread with that (and a few other) Listopia.

Thanks TC!
Added the page count.

Since her profile is private I cannot see her stats - hence the color highlight

[Steven]

That place looks amazing!!! I WANT TO GO!

[Eni]

[Sonia]

Yeah, me too. But Portugal is a bit far away from Kansas.

[Steven]

If I go, Sonia, I'll make sure to send extra pictures your way :D

Though I've never been to Kansas yet. Don't know when I'll get there!

[[deleted user]]

I want to go there. I wish the libraries here in Illinois looked like that.

[Sonia]

It has a side wall resembling paperbacks too, the building is amazing!
