message 151: by Edie (new)

Edie | 1143 comments I will be reading for pages, but am highly unlikely to finish any more books. This has been fun... and always pushed me to read more than I normally would in a week. Happy reading Icepops.

Traci (tracibartz) | 1268 comments Finished The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, and put it in for sport/physical activity since I like to both run and hike.

I'll probably finish another one, but we'll see.

This week has definitely helped me with some needed progress with my summer challenges.

Ellie (patchworkbunny) | 2992 comments I finished The Kept Woman, I got behind with this series when I went off crime fiction but I really enjoyed revisiting these characters. I'm going to answer "a trend I hate" which is the trend of elevating sportspeople into untouchable celebrities. A team winning something is not more important than justice.

This will be my last book of the readathon, it's Sunday evening here. It has really given me a boost to get back into picking up a book every day.

SarahKat I finished my last one for the read-a-thon! Nine Perfect Strangers for what I wanted to be when I grew up.

I ended up with family stuff all day, which is wonderful but not for reading. I won’t finish anything else.

Kathy Jo (kjsotr) | 304 comments I finished The Ten Biggest Civil War Blunders and put it under genie, because I would ask for peace!

Deborah (dg_reads) | 418 comments I wound up kinda napping and acting the part of the couch potato today (wasn't really likely to finish anything today anyway). This has been a lot of fun and definitely read more this week than I would have otherwise! Good reading with you all! :)

Traci (tracibartz) | 1268 comments I ended up binge watching Netflix today, so am not going to finish any more books. I'll add my pages when I go to bed.

I will put 4 Team Wild Cards in my column under items that didn't have anyone working on them. Great job, everyone!

**And I ended up finishing my last book after all, so we have 20 done on the 2nd sheet!

Great job, team! It looks like we finished a close 2nd, only one book behind Fudgesicles.
