OK, thanks for keeping it right! Do we need any particular books?/ Not sure what I can read in two days, but I can try

[Jillian]

Alaina- I put your book down for the read-thon

Perri- I think you are currently reading Smoke which will work for US location or year published. I think we can make most books work so just read what you want.

[Jillian]

Perrie- I also see the book, Why We Sleep, under the planning tab. Did you read this book or was it just one you were thinking about reading?

[Jillian]

Alaina- I added Gyo to the spreadsheet working for either year published or cover.

[Jillian]

I don't think we have anyone working towards the final title word match but we can move Deborah's book from the cover prompt to word with a match of "Of" if we get more cover matches.

[Jill]

I just finished Circe and Daisy Jones & The Six. Do they help anywhere?

[Traci]

I finished The Trespasser and put it in for matching date (I think the only place it works).

Other options for final word: I think there are 2 of us working on books that work for ATY games, so if those both get finished, Where the Crawdads Sing can move up to a matching word. Also, People of the Book can move there if we have two other locations (which should be pretty easy, though I keep reading books that don't work!)

[Jillian]

Jill- I think Circe works for the read-athon game and I’m guessing the other books works for year. O’ll Get on my computer after lunch to make sure.

[Traci]

Great job Jill! I slotted Circe into the ATY game and Daisy Jones & The Six into the year (also works for location).

[Perri]

Finished Smoke

[Traci]

We need:
1 for matching year
1 for matching country
1 for matching word
1 for similar cover

I think we have people reading for all except matching word, but we can do some juggling if needed.

Yay team!

[Perri]

I'm reading Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams which would match Sarah's You Gotta Get bigger Dreams

[Jillian]

Traci- I'm moving Veronica's book, People of the Book, to matching words "Book" since we have several books that will work for location.

[Traci]

Sounds good to me!

[Jillian]

I put Perri's book Smoke down for location.

[Jillian]

New update:
published in the same year- 1 book needed
similar cover- 1 book needed
location-1 book needed

[Deborah]

I think i will have The Cage today. I think it works for cover, also published 2015.

[Deborah]

I finished the cage. Out and about so didnt update the spreadsheet, but 2015 or cover could work!

[Samantha]

I finished The Emissary . I was published in 2018 and set in Japan.

.

The only option I see for cover match is .

The both have a lot of the beige color.

[Traci]

Nice job Deborah and Samantha, I added yours as cover and year respectively.

We have ONE book left!

The last category is a matching location, but if the next book doesn't fit that but matches a year, we can move Daisy Jones & The Six. (There are some other possible rearrangements too).

[Jillian]

I'm going to move my book from published year to location and then put Devin's book in the spot for year.

[Jillian]

Mods We finished quest 4!

[Chrissy]

Holy cow! Great job, all!

[Traci]

Great work team!

[Samantha]

Who hoo! Good job team! Not sure how the mods keep it all straight but thanks for all your hard work!

[Perri]

woot WTG team cake

[Alaina]

Nice job everyone!!

[Veronica]

Wow great job everyone!

[Deborah]

Great job everyone!

[Perri]

If we're done (and even if we're not) huge thanks to our sweet leaders, Jillian and Traci!

[Jillian]

Great job, everyone! I will add any books to post 2 that get finished today. I have one book left to finish and then I’m going to go back and work on my book with 100 pages left that I started before the read-a-thon.

[Traci]

It's been funny not checking in the last day of the read-a-thon! I've also been slacking today without the quest goals (and after a lot of reading this week). I did finish Britt-Marie Was Here last night and might finish Girls of Riyadh today. This week definitely helped me make a dent in my yearly goals, which helps me have room for more spontaneous reads.

[Jill]

I finished Command Performance today and I think that will be the last one for me!
Thank you Traci and Jillian for keeping us organized and on track!
Great job Team Cake! 👏🏻👍🏻🍰❤️

[Deborah]

I'll probably be finishing The Widow of Pale Harbor today and maybe one more. I'll This has been a great team to work with and a very fun readathon setup. It definitely helped keep me motivated this week! Thank you Traci and Jillian for everything!

[Jillian]

I finished Invincible which will be my last book for the read-a-thon. Though I'm hoping to finish my ATY challenge this afternoon! It has been a great team.

This has been a really fun team to read-a-thon with!
