Katrisa | 4460 comments I finished 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World.
Still listening to Nine Pints: A Journey Through the Money, Medicine, and Mysteries of Blood. It is really interesting too! For instance I found out that there are still legit medical uses for leeches! Who knew?

I am going to start The Forty Rules of Love as my next fiction book because I enjoyed 10 min 38 secs.

pub date: March 4 2010
first published: just says 2009
if series: N/A
if audio, add length: 11 h 34 m
Award years: 2011, 2017

So, when on Saturday does the toppler end?

Casceil | 2728 comments I have finished Death of an Art Collector: A Nero Wolfe Mystery (The Nero Wolfe Mysteries Book 14).Death of an Art Collector. It's 240 pages, published May 14th, 2019. I'll figure out its numbers tomorrow.

I have also started one more book, Witch Summer Night's Cream, 465 pages, published May 22, 2017. I hope to finish it by the end of the toppler.

Peggy (pebbles84) | 15868 comments Katrisa, it ends the same time as it started :)

Like I end the same time I started? Because I realized that I may have started at the wrong time. I started at noon my time (MT) but I saw yesterday when I looked that it said ET so should I stop at 10 MT or noon when I started?


message 105: by Peggy (new)

Peggy (pebbles84) | 15868 comments In that case I think I would stop at noon. The idea is to read for the toppler to last exactly 1 week, so if you accidentally started at the wrong time, I would end at the wrong time too.

For me the toppler started 6pm last Saturday, so it ends 6pm tomorrow.

Peggy (pebbles84) | 15868 comments Book 3 was a quickie!

That was my last one though, I won't be able to get another done in the next 25 hours.

Katrisa | 4460 comments Ok, it's getting down to the wire so I decided to not go ahead with 40 rules of love because I won't be able to finish it. I am almost done with Nine Pints so I looked for a shorter book even if it doesn't have a number in the title to try and get one more book in before noon tomorrow. So I am changing out 40 Rules for
From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to Find the Good Death

Jayme | 4519 comments Finished The Tenth Island: Finding Joy, Beauty, and Unexpected Love in the Azores.
This is my last book for the toppler since I will not have time to finish another book.

Ah, thank you! I couldn't figure out where I had gotten the 1 from in my original notes lol

I am going to correct my post now :)


message 114: by Jessica (new)

Jessica Chantelle (shanti15) I am at 80% of Second Nature so i'll be finished in about an hour and then I will post in the reporting thread.


message 115: by Jenn (new)

Jenn | 3029 comments I just finished Ready Player One, and reported it. Sorry, it's a bit of a surprise bonus book, I really didn't expect to finish it lol, but it is good in a few different spots (and has a number in the title for the bonus points), so I hope that it can help fill a space somewhere :)


message 116: by Peggy (new)

Peggy (pebbles84) | 15868 comments There might be some late reporters, people who finished in time but haven't had time to report yet. I think Esther and Jessica both mentioned they were still reading books.

Peggy (pebbles84) | 15868 comments Fantastic job everyone!

Esther has reported, but I haven't heard from Jessica. I will message her. Thanks for the heads up! I will delete my message with our final count and hold off reporting.

Jenn | 3029 comments Thanks for a great Toppler! For Esther and Jayme for taking on the Captains seat, for Peggy for keeping me in line, for the whole team for knocking out some big numbers - I actually managed to bump two off of my TBR (totally amazing lol) :) I hope everybody had a great week :)
