C7, F9, B7, C5, and I7 are a miss.

Tammy, you have maxed out your books for the team tasks but you earned a guess for the nonfiction and I added it to the page count.

Edie, I've added it to the page count but we can't count it for team tasks since it was started before.

Emily, I added yours for ATY and to the page count.

We completed the 'Read 20 books' task so have another team guess.

ETA: We also earned another team guess for reaching 8,000 pages.

18 pages

Read Miss Julia Inherits a Mess It can count for a series.
308 pages.

Debra Barstad did readers choice

For my guess I say D4


message 206: by Tammy (new)

Tammy | 704 comments I don't know if we have any blanks these books could fill, but I finished Tampa and Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore today. Tampa has a rating between 3 and 3.5 and both books are set in the country I am from. I think that is 554 pages for our page count.

Ill try F8 for my choice.

Perri | 886 comments I did Reader's Choice
Also finished Lily and the Octopus which A county I'm from? And in the title?

It's 307 pages long. I also didn't include the page total of the other book I read, The Fact of a Body 326

Also, Laura, you're being very devious in the new boat hidings! :)

Emily Bourque (emilyardoin) | 11235 comments Mod
I5 for the last remaining team guess?


message 211: by Edie (new)

Edie | 1149 comments L8 for my guess.

Finished BRAZEN Rebel Ladies Who Rocked the World. It is graphic, non-fiction with a long title. It is a YA book and has stunning pictures. Each profile of a "rebel lady" is followed by a two page painting that captures the essence of that woman.

306 pages.

Perri | 886 comments I will pick F7

Tammy | 704 comments I am entering my last book of the read-a-thon, Reader’s Block. I think the cover could be taken as winter. The trees are bare! 196 pages

I've taken part in all the games and tasks that have been put up and I've had a great time joining in with my fellow greenies!


message 216: by Veronica (new)

Veronica (ronireads13) | 816 comments I finished listening Frankenstein yesterday for 5 hours.

I didnt get nearly as much reading done during this marathon but at least I finished one book.


message 217: by Lieke (new)

Lieke | 697 comments I finished Anna & de French Kiss on friday.
And another novella on saturday, but didn't read a lot this weekend because of Easter.

A10 is a hit!

Tammy, you've earned one guess.

Veronica, since you maxed out your audio hours, you can let me know the page count for the 5 hours, if you wanted it added to our overall total.

Lieke, if you pick a task for your final book then you can get a guess.

I really wanted to finish Stars are Fire but I just couldn't stay up another half hour last night to finish it. It was already way past my usual time. But I got 226 pages of it done!

Great job, green team!


message 219: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer Barstad (maidenoflight) I finishec A Court of Thorns and Roses last night which covers the Sans Seriffe task and 419 pages.


message 220: by Tammy (new)

Tammy | 704 comments I think I have 3 guesses (1 from 218 and 2 from message 208).

I'll do A9, A12, and B2.

I completed wrap up!

Thank you for all of your hard work, Laura. You have been an amazing team lead!!!


message 221: by Perri (new)

Perri | 886 comments I finished the wrap-up. What a fun week! Laura, I don't know how you kept such good track of things. My head was spinning! Thank you so much!!


message 222: by Edie (new)

Edie | 1149 comments I have read 120 pages of a book started before the readathon.

Completed the Wrap-up. This was great fun.

Thanks Laura, for all your work. Not sure how you found time to read with all the tabulating and responding you did, but sure glad you did.


message 223: by Debra (new)

Debra Barstad I did the wrap up


message 224: by Veronica (new)

Veronica (ronireads13) | 816 comments I just completed the wrap- up.

For the extra audiobook hours, I'm estimating it was about 110 pages.

Thank you Laura and all the mods for all their hard work, this was so much fun!

Jennifer, if you want to take one final guess for your book then feel free.

A9 and B2 are a miss. A12 is a hit and the 3-block ship has been sunk!

Thanks everyone for the appreciation! It was a confusing one but we ended up sinking all our ships (and then some!)
