Read-a-thon #3 - Team 4 Group Discussion

[Laura, Celestial Sphere Mod]

Phew... I finished The Deep. It was a pretty disturbing read so I had to skim a few pages there at the end. But that adds 244 pages to my count for that one.

I think I'm going to relax and watch some TV for the rest of the night and start something new for tomorrow. It was great being on everyone's team this time around and I'm happy with finishing two books :)

[Laura, Celestial Sphere Mod]

Oh, and for anyone still trying to guess the final cover. Hint: it's a book to movie adaptation from the 1990's

As far the link, it has to do with the characters of the books.

I finished Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine!!!

What a great book!

That adds 325 pages to my final total.

I had a fun time with the group! Thanks for making it fun!!

Ahhhh!!! I'm so sorry if this is bad etiquette but I've been having so much fun following what everyone has been reading and how much the teams seem to be enjoying each other, so I'm crashing your thread 😂

Joan I'm about 100 pages into Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine ( my last book of the read- a - thon, although I won't be able to finish it) and Im actually enjoying it very much!! I can't wait to see how these three characters come together and get to know more about her backstory.

You guys did amazing with the challenge ( all of us did). Congrats :-)
Good times this week.

[Liz]

Thank you for the fun, everyone!! I really enjoyed my first read-a-thon! And thanks for keeping up with everything, Emily & Laura. :)

I've been tidying, guys! I'm sorry I've been hiding so much, but the cleaning just took over.

Let's see...I did complete my 8 books and got half way through two others. I read 2,357 pages and hit my goal for 8 books on the nose. I had a blast joining in on the group games and checking out our spreadsheet. Thank you all for being such a fun group and a special thanks to Emily and Laura for keeping track or everything.

[Emily, Conterminous Mod]

I'm so glad everyone had a great Read-A-Thon! (and HI TRACY thanks for visiting! hahaha)

I only read two (and a half) books, which is disappointing for me, but school and illness definitely got in the way. I definitely felt like I was participating more, though, with doing the spreadsheet, so thanks to all of you who trusted it to me haha. I feel like I contributed much more than I actually did!

[Laura, Celestial Sphere Mod]

Emily you were a rockstar with the spreadsheet! I really appreciated the help since sometimes the team challenges make my head spin.

[Emily, Conterminous Mod]

Updated our final tallies and we can reveal #24.

I still have no clue what the link is between books 😂

[Samantha]

Sorry for being MIA this latter half of the week. I ended up being pseudo-wedding coordinator for my bf's sister who just got married Saturday!

I had a great time playing with everyone. Looking forward to the next team challenge :)

[Jody]

Is the book link (view spoiler)[ non-human characters (hide spoiler)]?

I have had this on hold for ever and am tempted to buy it at this point. if I had been paying more attention I would have read it with you for the read-a-thon. Glad to hear you liked it so much makes me look forward to it even more.

[Liz]

Eleanor Oliphant is great on audio as well.

[Laura, Celestial Sphere Mod]

Yes, Jody :) Great job!
