2021 Read-a-thon #1: Team Tulip

[Trish, Annular Mod]

I managed another 144 pages of Parker Pyne yesterday, and I've finished it this morning. So I've put it in as one of the "heart on the cover" prompts.

I have a novella by a male author in mind, which could potentially be used for the "male" half of male and female. I'll see how I get on.

[Trish, Annular Mod]

Managed to finished The Whisperer in the Darkness for a quick 106pg. I've put it in for Male Author, as that was the last place left for it.

[Robin P, Orbicular Mod]

I probably won't finish any book today. We have lots of wild cards to use if we want to.

We are missing Inspiring Title/Cover, 1 Enemies to Lovers, 1 Hearts on Cover, 2 10-year or more span, and 1 Warm & Fuzzy.

[Roxana]

I put Westmark in for the last warm and fuzzy prompt, bringing us down to five prompts left without any wildcards.

[Kellie Lyn]

I finished and put it in the space for hearts on the cover. This has been a interesting, exhausting, and adventurous week both in life and reading. Thanks for helping make it fun.

[Robin P, Orbicular Mod]

Great work, everyone! Do we want to fill in the rest of the prompts with wild cards? Does it matter?

[Roxana]

Well, I’m still going to finish another book tonight (probably just one), as it’s only 9:30pm in my time zone 😂 not sure if the wildcards matter after this point anyway, though!

I have to admit I'm ending off a little frustrated. I only read 152 pages total today, which is not that bad, but I was expecting to have the majority of the day to read.

Unfortunately, I had a project for work that ended up taking double the amount of time it should have because coworkers didn't get me their part in time. It was a memorial edition of our newsletter in memory of a participant in our day program who passed away (not covid), and I had given everyone a month to submit something if they wanted to by this past Friday. It should have been done yesterday, but I got several more pieces today and felt bad excluding them after people had put the time and emotional labour into writing them....so I ended up spending half my day on that. I guess I could have listened to an audiobook yesterday/today while working, but I didn't want anything to distract me from the series I'm reading and it wasn't available as audio!

[Trish, Annular Mod]

Thanks, fellow Tulips. It was fun to read with you.

[Roxana]

Put my last book, The Kestrel, in for inspiring cover. It's 1:30am in my time zone, so I'm finally off to bed now. Thanks for another fun readathon, y'all! :)

[Dori]

I have finished First-time Parent last night but I really can't put it to any of the remaining prompts. Sorry I haven't read more, I haven't been feeling well but thanks for the opportunity it was great fun! :)

[Robin P, Orbicular Mod]

We were happy to have everyone, regardless of how much you read!

[Chrissy]

I didn’t end up finishing my second round of books, but good job everyone! Thanks!
