Winter20 Read-a-Thon: Team Optimism

[Robin P, Orbicular Mod]

As expected I didn't get reading in but did get some of an audiobook today so I'll add that.

[Kim]

Does anyone know how the wildcards work?

[Robin P, Orbicular Mod]

You can use a wild card to put in any book in any category, even if it doesn’t fit the prompt

[Nancy]

We have 20 wildcards as of now, let's start using them! I filled in mine. They don't earn us points but I guess we get kudos for filling in more prompts? I'm not really sure.

[Kim]

I went in and used enough wildcards to finish each article, but I don't see how it changed any of the totals. The wildcards really have me confused..

[Alicia]

In the top where it shows we have 20 wildcards, it also shows none used so there must be another way.

[Alicia]

I also still have a book that I needed a line added to 19 (stars) for. I finished it on Sunday.

[Errlee]

Sorry guys, I kind of dropped off the radar after Saturday. I did finish another book as well on Sunday - Devolution: A Firsthand Account of the Rainier Sasquatch Massacre by Max Brooks, but didn't slot it in. I kind of thought we had so many wildcards, that it didn't matter much. I sort of lost my mojo at some point.

But it was fun while it lasted, and got some extra reading in because of it.

[Kim]

I feel like this quietly disappeared due to the release of the 2021 Pop Sugar prompts.

Right, I was just thinking that it all went quiet on Monday even tho we still should have had that day to finish the spreadsheet. I still never got another line to add my last book, no one is answering what to do about the wildcards and these need to be addressed to know who "won".

[Errlee]

I am still madly trying to finish up 2020 - I can't even LOOK at 2021 yet!!

It seems to me that "winners" from the last couple Readathons weren't ever announced. For one of them I went into each team's thread to see how they ended up. This time, I was MIA most of the week, as I knew I would be, so I wasn't really curious about how everyone ended up. But kudos to everyone who completed books!
