2nd to None (Team 2)

[Kirila]

I have another hour of reading to go so I will make it. It might be that I am not online to report it on time though.

This sounds really good, and if I ever feel up ..."

It was gruesome at times, but also quite funny. I enjoyed it. I assume you are talking about Graverobbers Wanted. The Shuddering wasn't as gruesome, but was very suspenesful.

[Debra]

So, it's after 4am here and I've got a bit of insomnia. Who's reading right now?

[Sam]

And I have finished my second and last book...WOOHOO!

And go team :-)

[Esther]

I am done also.

[Debra]

Yay, Sam and Esther!

[Kirila]

I also finished :)
My boyfriend might not be very happy with me today though. We were going places and I kept reading on the train, on the bus and while walking...

[Esther]

**READ THIS******

Day 6.9 (30 mintes to go!)
Total points: 360 points

1 tasks remaining.
36 books read

Only KimeyDiann has not reported. Kimey said she would probably be late reporting as it is a busy weekend.

I will wait for her to report and I will do an "official" listing.

[Annette]

I just checked the spreadsheet and it doesn't look like I have been marked as finishing task 31. So I just wanted to make double sure that I report that I read The Graveyard Book for task 31. :)

[Thing Two]

And I reported in on the reporting thread.

it is now... I got interrupted by Real Life while I was updating the sheet. :)

[Debra]

And that's the finish! It is now officially 12pm EST. I think we did a great job. Everyone did their tasks and kept reporting in. We made a great team!

Thanks Esther. You have been an amazing leader, especially with all you've had going on. I hope things settle down for you soon. :)

[KimeyDiann]

While my husband is in the parts store getting stuff to fix his truck I thought I'd report in real quick... I finished my final book!
Wow, it has been fun! I don't think I've ever read that many books in a week's time. At least not while working a full time job too. I might have when I was a kid during summer break, but I don't remember.
Good job everyone!!!

[Debra]

I'm amazed that everyone participated and finished their tasks as promised. We may not be the winners, but we sure were a great team!

[Kirila]

Great job team! I was also surprised I managed to read 3 books in a week with work, German and traveling.

[Helen]

Super team. We all did well. It was a really fun challenge.

Special kudos to Esther for keeping us on track and to Debra for being such a reading superstar!

Loved reading with you guys!

[Esther]

So we finished with a score of 370!!!

Nice work everyone.

As usual, the toppler was a lot of fun.

[Kirila]

Woohooo :)
Thank you Esther for keeping track of everything!

[Debra]

370! Awesome. Great job, everyone.

[Sam]

Great work everyone!! :-D

[KimeyDiann]

370! WooHoo! Terrific job team! :D

[Debra]

We have more work to do. J-Mom asked this of us: " I'll need your help for this one. Each team needs to list the number of pages for each book read that was over 300 pages. I'll calculate the bonus points then."

[Debra]

Here's my book pages with only 3 over 300 pages.:

Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass (plus other stuff): 416 pages
Anonymous Rex: 350 pages
The Shuddering: 307 pages

[Kirila]

Death Comes As the End with 334p for the edition I read
Cat Among the Pigeons with 352p for the edition I read

[Kazen]

I had two with over 300 pages:

Wallflower Gone Wild - 384 pages
Atomic Accidents: A History of Nuclear Meltdowns and Disasters: From the Ozark Mountains to Fukushima - 619 pages (I read the kindle edition)

[Sarah]

My book for task 39 'Anne of Avonlea' was 309 pages.

[Sam]

Only one of mine was over 300 pages with The Wolves of Solomon at 504 pages.

[Helen]

The only one of mine over 300 pages was A Plain Disappearance - 336 pages.

[KimeyDiann]

Mortal Fear is the only one I had over 300 pages.... 564 Pages

[Esther]

I cannot get the page numbers for for audios on my phone but i will compile everything in a neat post as soon as i can. Probably wnd pf pm.

Thing2, Annette and Emily still have to report.

[Annette]

The Graveyard Book was 312 pages.

[Esther]

I have 2, one of exactly 300 pages!

Emily has read The Ocean at the End of the Lane. I do not see an edition over 300 pages, so she should be at 0.

Thing Two probably has 2 as well. I will message her.

BTW, the "lucky tasks" gave us 15 extra points so we are at 385 points.

ROFL! It looks like some really good books were read, I know I've added some to my tbr. I'm waiting for an event where everyone reads books that I've already read or ones that I don't think are for me. Just once it would be nice to read more than I add.

[Debra]

I hear ya, J-Mom! I've already got a lifetime of books to read!

[jaxnsmom]

I'm going to have to keep being reincarnated :)

[Helen]

Where can we see the final info on the challenge? It was great fun regardless.

I don' think I can read all of the books I want to in one lifetime! LOL.

Thanks much. I haven't been paying attention to that thread. Kudos to our team for providing the "foundation" for the other teams!
