Haha I hadn't got very much done - maybe it'll panic me enough to spur me on though. It's my last assignment ever and I've been super motivated the last few weeks, but I'm struggling with this one (probably because it's a topic we've covered a LOT !)

Or chocolate :) Whatever I can find in the cupboards really. Right, *speaks sternly to self* must do at least 1 hour without getting distracted.
Hopefully I'll be off for a while now!

All the teams signed up for the challenge and submitted a mini-challenge&game suggestion.
They all got the 5 extra points - time to celebrate!
I will leave you reading and having fun for a bit, will be back in an hour with some more read-a-thon goodies
If a book you are reading has an edition with a blue cover, but the one you are reading doesn't, will it still count for the blue cover?
If you don't mind selecting the edition with the blue cover instead the one you are reading, you can use it.

**Lisa Kay swipes one of Faith's cookies** Yum!

You can now mark your books as read.
All the team members have the before and current pages registed to allow late joinings. After May 8th, all non-participants will be removed from the spreadsheet in order to not cause confusion for point calculations.
Will be adding the participant list on message #3 as well as the spreadsheet link, for easy access.
If any of the numbers is incorrect, please keep us posted.
Have a nice Read-a-Thon
Michelle from Electric Lime has joined with a goal of 600 pages, but she has not yet made it onto the spreadsheet. Thanks.
Team Magenta Mix-Up is missing its theme on the spreadsheet. It's "Read a book with a one-word-title".We're tracking our progress here: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...
Radical red update: Stephanie would like to take part with a goal of 825 pages, which takes our total goal up to 7825.
Great themes, everyone! I love the variety. Have a fun read-a-thon, all!

GR only counts the pages of the books you have finished reading. So, if I start a book for the RaT, but don't finish it I won't get credit for the pages I have read, right?Also, I am currently on page 167 of the book I am reading. The first 166 pages should not be counted for the RaT since I read them before the start. Should I put this book on hold and read something else?
Karla, they aren't too worried about start dates, so you can finish that one :)

Steven is right. You can finish that one.
Yes, if you don't finish during RaT time, the read pages won't count.

May's birthstone is the emerald. Find five books on your shelves that are at least 50% green. Take a picture and post it on the thread.
Option:Use the add book tool from GoodReads to post the books
Sugested by Team Atomic Tangerine
Mini-Challenge #1:Green with EnvyMy cell phone camera doesn't take good pictures with artificial light so I'll use the GR's tool

Sonia, where is the index for the Games?edit: Oh, duh, this is NOT the thread with the games. I'll go to that one and look for the game index, hehe.
Sonia Does each person post the Mini-Challenge on this thread or post in your own group and then the capt. post here?It looks like each person.
this one is posted here. There are some that must be posted elsewhere :o)
Mini-Challenge #1: Green With EnvyI had to read 5 books with mostly green covers back in a March challenge. These are the five I read.

Teresa there are two types of mini-games.
The RaT mini-games are posted here, and the index is on Message #5
The non-reading mini-games outside the RaT are in this thread

Ah, karma got me back for procrastinating - just clicked onto your blog Steven and saw a spoiler for Beautiful Chaos, then managed to click the wrong button and close the (small amount) of work I'd got done in the last half hour or so! It's clearly not my day!
