2021 Read-a-Thon #1: Team Orchid

[Joan]

I completed Vanishing Girls. I guess maybe count it in the one that is three books where a romantic love story is not featured.

I'm going to read a graphic novel or two and then read Paris for One and Other Stories.

Both graphic novels are over 200 pages so they should count.

[Joyce]

I have a non-romantic roommates book that I should finish tonight or tomorrow. Unless anyone wants to match it for a garish pink cover?

[Jill]

I finally had some time to read today and actually finished a book, The Pull of the Stars that I slotted as a book with the letter P in the title.
I started which has a pink cover and I will finish it this weekend if you want use it for a match, Joyce.

[Joan]

I completed Mooncakes. I marked off some possibilities of where it can go if someone wants to decide where to put that one and Vanishing Girls that I finished.

I put Vanishing Girls down for a book without a romance and Mooncakes for the friendship prompt.

[Kendra]

I finished What If It's Us and I used it for one of the YA rom-coms. That means we have 19 prompts remaining, and 15 wild cards - so only 4 more books!

[Perri]

I'll probably get my Brene Brown book finished today. I'm reading online and it only shows chapter, I can't find page numbers to update. But it has an inspiring title (Rising Strong) and is warm, fuzzy and empowering

[Joyce]

Finally finished The Future Won't Be Long which was quite a slog and not a suitable read-a-thon book. It either works for non romantic roommates or as a pink book cover if Jill needs a match.

I’m starting The REAL Mad Hatter's Tea Party for a book with an inspiring cover - at least it is for me as I’m involved in dormouse conservation. It also works for letter P in the title and she probably owns a multitude of pets.

Can someone fill me in for 284 pages on Friday please?

I put the book down for the matching cover prompt and added your page total.

[Kristina]

I've finished Clap When You Land and slotted it for a book with the letter "P" in the title.

[Joyce]

So it looks like we did it! 16 wildcards and 16 books remaining but with lots of books still on the go we will more than cover the prompts and have wildcards to spare.

[Hilde]

Yay - great work, everyone! 👏🏻

[Jill]

I finished and added as a book with a matching cover. I don’t think I will finish anything else before the end of the weekend but you never know,

[Joan]

I just completed Paris for One and Other Stories. It can be counted for the letter P or a warm and fuzzy book. I'll let you all decide. I might read another graphic book before the end of the read-a-thon but I'm not sure.

[Perri]

I finished Rising Strong and looking to see if there's a short one I can get through, but we're looking great!

[Sarah]

Well done everyone! I'll probably finish up The Case of the Missing Marquess today for my last book of the week

[Hilde]

I have only a few pages left of A Well Tempered Heart, so will finish off that one today as well.

[Joyce]

I’ve finished The REAL Mad Hatter's Tea Party which could go for letter P in the title, owns a pet or written by a woman.

I might squeeze in a coming of age book A Bird in the House depending how late I stay up today!

I have 278 pages for Saturday if someone could update me? Thanks.

I added it for the pet prompt, hope that is ok.

[Hilde]

Finished A Well-Tempered Heart and slotted it for "the warm & Fuzzy" prompt.

11 remining prompts, and 17 wildcards atm, looking good! :)

[Joyce]

One last book A Bird in the House which is a coming of age book. There would be something satisfying about filling up the whole of the top section but it also works for elderly characters, owns a pet and female author.

I have 296 pages for Sunday if someone would update for me one last time.

I may not read much next week...

[Jill]

I did finish one more book, The Viscount Who Loved Me. I slotted it as the fourth book with a character who has a pet. What great work we did this week!

[Sarah]

Great work everyone! I slotted in The Case of the Missing Marquess for the female author. Thanks for the fun week :D

[Kendra]

I finished Philosophy: The Great Thinkers and used it for the final book that has a P in the title.

[Kristina]

I didn't finish a book today, but I've logged my final pages.

Great job everyone! :)

[Kendra]

Well I finished off my last book - Austenland and I used it for the prompt of a book with an elderly character. That meant we only had to use 6 of our 19 wild cards. Go team!

[Joan]

Everyone did a great job! It was fun!
