2021 Read-ARRR-Thon #2: Barbury Pirates
I’ve cleared the colours from the schooner tasks. Feel free to read for these tasks so we can get a second schooner.

I've been feeling rubbish the last couple of days so haven't got as much read as I would like. Should finish 2 in the next couple of days.
I’ve added a completed tab and moved all the completed book info to this tab. This way we can see how many unfinished books we have for the options we need to complete.
I’ve also added a column which shows how many ships we have completed for each type.

Hi Bec, welcome to the team!
You have assigned An American Marriage to a prompt asking ..."
Ah not sure what I did there. I thought I was assigning it to one which had A book whose first letter of the title appears in ZHENG YI SAO - and I thought the A counted. But I'm clearly a bit confused!

I've not read this, but there is often an element of friendship in books like this, and that prompt is open still if you think it would fit.

I'm putting Ira's book for friendship.
We only have 2 tasks to complete for Sloop and then we have completed one of every ship. We are covered for the two tasks with what is currently being read. So, no need for anyone to start a book to cover for the first sloop. Obviously, you can choose tasks for the 2nd sloop or any of the other ships.






Not only have we completed our first sloop, we have also completed our second brigantine and galleon.
The tasks we need to complete to obtain 2 of every ship are:
A short book <300 pages x2
A book with water on the cover
A book whose first letter of the title appears in ZHENG YI SAO
A book that you feel is fast-paced
A book whose first letter of the title appears in DAVY JONES' LOCKER
A book that is part of a series
A book written from first person POV (I, me, we)
A book with a mostly blue cover

We have 4 books to go before we complete our second sloop and schooner.
A short book <300 pages
A book with water on the cover
A book that is part of a series
A book with a mostly blue cover
We have more than 1 person currently reading for all of these tasks so hopefully we’ll finish these without a problem. Not sure that we will be able to finish any of the other ships but we can definitely earn more rowboats.

Navy blue?"
Looks navy blue to me. I’ve put you down for blue cover. I finished my water on the cover book. So, now we only have a book in a series and we will have completed 2 of all the ships.

We are so close to getting 2 of all the ships! There are 6 books currently being read that are part of a series, so I assume at least one of them will be finished today.
Looking at the options for the books currently being read, we might even be able to get another sloop. The only prompt we don’t have a book for is the under 300 pages book, but I have a few that I could read quickly, if needed. Off to look through my TBR now...

We might be able to get another sloop as we only need 3 books to complete but it will depend on whether team members are able to finish books today. If you can’t then just read as many pages as you can.

I’ve just finished Home and put it under book less than 300 pages. It fits the other remaining prompts, so it can be moved if needed.
I have no plans beyond sitting out in the sun and reading today. I’ve just looked at my bookshelves, and found 6 books, all over 100 but under 200 pages, that work for multiple sloop prompts, so I’ll be able to read some of them this afternoon.

Thanks!
It's Sunday night here for me so I'm not going to finish any more books.
