We are in the final week of Summer Days! I know that we're all scrambling for those last minute points, so here's your gentle reminder to choose the right prompt that fits your book (storyline/time period prompts should feature prominently as part of the plot).
Like last year, I'm accepting nominations for MVPs from your teammates! Please DM me with your nominations by July 31st.
Final numbers will be released early August 2nd (my time), so please ensure you get your last updates in by the 1st.
Good luck all! There are some wild points this year!
Happy Summer Days

Congrats all! Our winner this year—in a very close race—was Team 3: the Cybernetic Mario Connection! Well done!
And congrats to the Duck Hunters, who read a whopping 58,400 pages!
There were some minor differences between team spreadsheets and the mod spreadsheet, but the differences did not make a difference to the final tally (team 3: page numbers; team 4 and 5, category difference). Most of the errors were due to changes between entries and the team spreadsheet.
To the fun stuff!
MVPs
Team 1: Jen K (knocking out categories like it was nothing!)
Team 2: Brianna (for being awesome and keeping everyone up to date on tasks)
Team 3: Brianna (being a fantastic teammate and being on top of prompts!)
Team 5: Alex & Michelle (for joining last minute and helping out so much)

Great job to all who participated—you knocked it out of the park. I don't think we've ever had numbers like this before.
Tune in a couple months for Winter Wars. Nominations open in October, and the winter games run from November through December.
