Read-a-Thon #1 - Yellow Team Discussion

[Sophie]

I just finished La Belle Sauvage

[Ann]

I just finished Antarctica Troubling a Star and I think I'm done. Can't think of what to read next. I want to read a simple feel good book I bought after all the "not much choices" I have been reading and maybe finish Lost Boy: The True Story of Captain Hook. Don't know that they can be fit in somewhere or not.

[Kelly]

I have finished Take One. I would like to say I could get another book done by the end of the read a thon, but I know that is wishful thinking.

This team has been amazing!!

[Rachel]

Still working on Noteworthy, which I'm loving so far although it's taking me longer than expected. Somehow I find on days where I have more time to read, I end up reading less.

[Erica]

I’ve been a bit down the last few days (pregnancy hormones) so I’m switching to a funny book: Let’s Pretend This Never Happened

Not sure if I’ll finish this or any of the others before the readathon is over though. I work on the weekends and they are the busiest days at work so I’ll probably crash early tonight.

[Silvia]

At what time is the latest I can finish a book on Sunday to be included in the read-a-thon? Hopefully, I will finish my book before, but I want to know

[Lieke]

I finished Deadlocked, I have a list with shelves it can be used for somewhere....

Silvia, whatever time you started the readathon last sunday is the time you have to stop this sunday. So if you started the readathon at noon, you have until noon this sunday.

OK, thanks, 6:00 pm for me :)

[Sophie]

Tabitha, I just realised we could fill the Book-club shelf with La Belle Sauvage.

Silvia, what..."

How does it work if you can't remember what time? Lol. I assumed we had until midnight on Sunday, so I didn't pay attention to what time I started.

What she meant, is that the read-a-thon finish at the same hour that started.
These hours:
START:
January 28 @ 12:00 PM (EST)
END:
February 4 @ 11:59 AM (EST)
But you need to check what time is this time (EST) in your country. I was asking, because I was not sure how long before the end of the read-a-thon should I report my last book, but apparently, everything before that hour counts :)

[Silvia]

I finished with Ghost in the Shell .... I still don't understand it :'( ... I know is a classic ... but I can't understant it!!!


It counts for Cyber-punk.

[Tabitha]

51 books done!

tally message 26 updated
shelves message 47 updated

[Perri]

Reading all day to finish The Search for the Green River Killer That's it for me!
True-Crime seems obvious

[Sophie]

Hey team, I'm going to bed now, the read-a-thon is over for me. I didn't manage to finish another book, but 3 was my goal so I'm pretty happy.

It was a pleasure teaming with you guys, I hope you had a great time!

[Erica]

I’m done too. I started at noon my time so stopped at noon my time too. I’m more than happy with the 4 books I finished, and I put a dent into a couple more. More than my usual for a week for sure.

[Silvia]

I still have more than 6 hours, so I will let you know if I can finish my book :)

[Kelly]

I had a great time! This team did a wonderful job.

[Tabitha]

I finished Memento Mori and An Abundance of Katherines and my time is up!

[Sarah]

Hey guys I finished Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne my last book for this read-a-thon!

It works for: France, 2016, 2017, 2018

[Silvia]

Done with The Hollow Boy!!! 😊 . This count for Ghost story

[Silvia]

I am just adding the link The Hollow Boy

[Perri]

Hold up. one I thought was too short at 144 does work. I read How to Speak Chicken: Why Your Chickens Do What They Do & Say What They Say
2017, 2018, currently- reading

[Chinook]

I’I finished off Bones of the Earth and I’m done - sadly I’m on solo child duty the rest of Sunday and am unlikely to read at all after now.

The readathon was a good kick in the ass to polish off some shorter reads I had planned, which was great since next I’m reading a doorstop or two for various book clubs.

[Rachel]

I'm honestly still a little confused about the end time. I still have about 8 hours until midnight for me, so just wondering if it's worth updating with my progress still.

[Sophie]

Rachel, your end time might be different and other's, it depends on when you started last Sunday!

Sophie wrote: "Rachel, your end time might be different and other's, it depends on when you started last Sunday!"

As I said in another thread, I have no idea what time I started so if it's contingent on start time, then I'm sure I'm done by now, lol. When I asked about it previously, I was told that it was until midnight in whatever my time zone is, which is still a good few hours away. Just a bit confusing when everyone starts and stops at different times...

[Bryony]

Rachel, officially the read-a-thon finished at 11.59 EST. But as we have members from all over the world it doesn’t really make sense to be strict and insist everyone’s start time is based on the same time zone. We just trust everyone to pick a start time that works for their time zone and then end their read-a-thon a week later.

I’m sure nobody will be too upset if you fit in an extra hour or two of reading if you’re not sure of your start time though. :-)

[Bryony]

I finished News of a Kidnapping today. I didn’t read quite as much as I’d hoped this week, but it’s been lots of fun reading along with everyone. Thanks for being such a fun team. :-)

Thanks, that's where I was getting confused. I'm in the EST time zone, and it is only 6:30 now, so when I saw a lot of messages saying people were already done, I thought I'd misunderstood something.

[Tabitha]

58 books! message 26 and 47 are updated. Great job Yellow Team! I have had so much fun reading with all of you. Thank you for being a great motivator.

[Sophie]

Thanks Tabitha for your job as an awesome team captain!

[Rachel]

I finished off Noteworthy earlier today. Not sure if that was included in the total since I didn't update until now. I'm about halfway through Little House on the Prairie, which I hoped to finish today but ran out of time.
