Read-A-Thon #1: Team Cocoa Pebbles

[Jillian]

I should finish my book in the next 2 hours, I forgot how fast YA reads compared to Historical Fiction. The Lost Plot is the 4th book in a series and all of the previous books have had Fae, dragons, werewolves, and vampires in them so I thought that the cover of my current book had werewolf on it. It turns out in this book they are actual wolves. Amazon search did show werewolves 3 times in the books so there is still a chance that I can use "werewolf" for acted out. If not, the book works for a few other categories but those all have several options.

[Jill]

We really only need 3 more books as I finished one last night and added it to the spreadsheet.

[Samantha]

I finished My Not So Perfect Life but not able to find a way to fit to a prompt, I added my pages read.

I going to start reading You Are Not Alone today.

[Roxana]

Okay, just finished Interior Chinatown (and I highly recommend it, it’s brilliant and moving and just so, so cleverly crafted), and logged it for “ancient gods.”

Never heard of this but sounds great! I have placed it on hold at the library should be able to read in a few months...

[Roxana]

Samantha, I’m so glad you’re going to read it off my recommendation! But yeah, the holds lines for this one are sooo long, I had it on hold for about six months before it actually came out at the end of January, lol.

[Perri]

Finished Daisy Jones & The Six

[Jillian]

I finished my book and found "werewolf" so I guess the amazon search did not work. I also added Perri's book so think we can use all our wildcards and have Magical Creatures done!

[Emily, Conterminous Mod]

Sweet! Do we want to wait until tomorrow to put in those wild cards? Just to make sure that if we have anyone who finishes books, they have a place to put them.

[Jillian]

Either way is fine with. I have one more book that I might finish but it does not work for any of the categories. I'll just add my audio hours.

[Perri]

Thanks Jillian!

[Edie]

I finished The Long Way Home which checks off sphinx riddles. I would vote for waiting until tomorrow to use the wild cards to finish this off. With 7 possible ways of checking off "mother of dragons", I would think there is a good chance someone will fill that one. While I have authors that could count for two of the remaining prompts, I am only starting both of the books and won't get them done by tomorrow. I am in midway in another book (and want to finish it) that won't count for anything other than pages read.

[Kathy Jo]

I finally finished Game of Thrones and added to spreadsheet. It was long and dense! But good. I have the next book on my plan for this year.

I have started Anne of Green Gables. Should go much faster!

[Emily, Conterminous Mod]

Good morning and happy last day, team!

We have done some serious work this week, and I'm so proud of us! Only 5 more words to go on the Mythical Animals level, so if you get finished today, feel free to fill in those empty spots.

[Jillian]

I finished my last audio book. I did listen to my book at 1.5 so it seems like I spent more time than I really did listening to my book.

Great job, everyone!

[Rose]

Finished Lumberjanes: Indoor Recess this morning, so I moved Roxana's Witch of Blackbird Pond to Pegasus, and plugged Lumberjanes into Nessie.

[Samantha]

Man that was a crazy quick week! I don't think I will finish anything today but wanted to thank everyone for the fun. Big shout out to Emily for all your hard work for this read-a-thon and in general as a ATY mod.

[Roxana]

Finished All the Birds in the Sky, which i liked a lot more than I expected to! I’m putting it in the spreadsheet for Care or Magical Creatures, for the author name, and I imagine that’ll be the last book I finish for this readathon, unless I invent a time machine first. 😂 It’s been such a fun week!

[Edie]

Yes, read-a-thon's are such fun, thanks to great teammates and Emily who manages the background tasks of spreadsheets and updates.

[Veronica]

Another great readathon! I had a lot fun with everyone!

[Chrissy]

I didn't get any reading or listening done today - too busy cleaning and getting ready for work tomorrow. But it was a great week, and fun to accomplish some goals together! Thanks all!
