[Ashley]

Ya, I finished Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and thought it would be for pages but it also fit that category. I find that happens a lot

Ugh, I'm confused. Did you just finish this? And it counts for our 20 letter title?

[Traci]

Copying and tweaking so it's on our current message page. Known options for current and future buckets.

I did just finish it so it could count if you need it to. If not I will just count it as pages. I was going to read it for something else that someone else finished first. Just an option. I just put it on the spreadsheet in that category if you need it.

Haha! Awesome, thanks! This is the first 20+ letter title, so we'll take it!

Unfortunately, I posted immediately after finishing (I was typing my message up during the last few minutes of the audio book).

[Jillian]

I plan to just have the last chapter left of my Bucket 19 Japan Olympics so I keep checking in to see when bucket 18 get finished.

I'm changing my book Bucket 20 for synopsis with a ? to a shorter audio Fish in a Tree but it would good to have someone else working on the prompt too.

[Jillian]

I had coffee this afternoon and if I cannot go to sleep tonight I will go grab one of my son's Diary of a Wimpy Kid books to read for bucket 19.

[Karissa]

I'm making good progress with Daisy Jones & the six. I'll make sure not to finish it before we're on bucket 20

[Melinda]

I just finished Black Bolt, Vol. 1: Hard Time for the graphic novel/illustrations prompt. I think that means we've now finished bucket 18!

[Jillian]

I will switch over from reading on bucket 20 book to bucket 19 now!

[Sara]

Way to go on guessing the 2nd author. You guys are awesome at this. I would not have had a clue how to get to this author (of whom I had never heard before).

I have finished The Book of Strange New Things - can't see how it can be used other than counting my pages.

[Traci]

WooHoo team! I'll finish my NASA book in the next few hours.

[Ana]

I am sure to come back from the library tomorrow with a book I am behind the times on, and I am also going to read a book with a ton of questions in the synopsis, In case it is needed.

[Jillian]

I have finished Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life. I would not recommend it but it is done.

[Karissa]

I'm down to my last chapter in Daisy Jones and the six which is only a few pages. I'll hold off on reading till we finish bucket 19. Unless it's in the next few minutes, I'm off to bed and will check for updates in the morning.

[Traci]

I finished listening to Chasing New Horizons: Inside the Epic First Mission to Pluto and really enjoyed it. Bucket 19 is done, on to bucket 20!

Did you all notice we have over 38,000 pages? How high will we reach?!?

[Traci]

Karissa and Sophie - I meant to ask, how's Three Bags Full? I have it on my list for Book Riot's animal point of view and Popsugar's amateur detective prompts.

I agree the author guessing was tough. It was key once we had a list to narrow down!

I realized the book I'm hopefully picking up from the library tonight has over 20 letters in the title. Let me know if I should focus on that!"

I am half way through my 20 letters

[Marie (UK)]

I am confused what bucket are we on? Unfortunately I am in bed when you are all up and reading so I get up to loads of messages I am going to continue with my 20 letters for now

Marie - we are on bucket 20, so we need to complete a book published in 2017, 2018 or 2019 with a lot of buzz that you haven’t read and a book with a synopsis that includes a question.

Does the book you are reading fit for either of these prompts? I don’t know if there are going to be any more buckets, but we can still try to read as many pages as possible.

I’ve got 30 pages of my buzz book left to read, then I can start reading a book with a question in the synopsis.

[Marie (UK)]

Miss Jane Austen's Guide to Modern Life's Dilemmas: Answers to Your Most Burning Questions About Life, Love, Happiness (and What to Wear) from the Great Novelist Herself 15/06/2019

synopsis involves a question
224 pages

[Hannah]

Finished The Mars Room for the buzz prompt.

All 20 buckets are now done!

Does that mean we've now finished bucket 20? The buzz book has been marked on the spreadsheet.

[Melinda]

Well done team! Looking at the other teams, I think we were the first one to finish the 20 buckets!

[Marie (UK)]

so we are just reading for pages now? What time does wheelathon finish on 16th

[Jillian]

Great job, everyone!!! The read-a-thon ends Sunday evening when you go to bed/done reading for the day in your time zone.

Great job everyone!

This week was a killer for me and I'm sorry for barely contributing at all.

[Sophie]

Same here Veronica, but I hope you were still able to read a bit!

[Sarah]

Well done team Ladybug!

That is going to be the next two weeks. I will be lucky if I get any reading in.

[Veronica]

Thanks Sophie, i think I read about 75 pages this week so you're right, at least it was something.


Jillian- hopefully you get some reading in, even if it's not as much as you would like!

[Ana]

Awesome job everyone!

I’m still reading, and I'll update my page count on the spreadsheet tomorrow.

[Traci]

Veronica and Sophie - I hope next week goes a little easier on you!

Sarah - YAY! Glad you had fun at the Spice Girls!!

[Sara]

We had some reading machines on this team--over 4000 pages for several people.

Veronica and Sophie--life is like that, sometimes there just isn't any room for reading. Hope you get free time soon!
