Team 2: Two-gether Two Win

[Sharon]

I just finished The Transatlantic Book Club. It was pretty awful. But that’s Chicago 4 done!

I’m determined to finish but thx for the no pressure, I bet your whole school loved you 😀❤️

[Jenn]

Mine looks good Sharon except that my zoo book is The Zookeepers' War: An Incredible True Story from the Cold War not wife.
I just finished Death in Her Hands which was weird - as most of her work is, but I liked it.

I am going to go look and see what I can fit in for the last push! I saw our planning sheet has a hole for Berlin 5, but on the spreadsheet it has Emma for a book, so if that is correct Emma, I'll just see what I can find for Tokyo. :)

[Katrisa]

Ok my library has The Night Train available and it is pretty short. I will start that tonight for Tokyo 3

[Katrisa]

I can also do Tokyo 9 with North of the Border

[Katrisa]

And Tokyo 10 with The Canyon's Edge

Got them!

[Emma R.]

I have 5 for Berlin covered. I’m finishing the book tonight.

[Laura]

Holy hell Katrisa, amazed at your chops, lady 📚📚📚📚🥳❤️

That’s wonderful! That was a hard one.

I love fantasy, so I was happy to read for this prompt. With reading prompts from this group, I usually have to challenge myself to read outside my comfort zones, so it was a nice change of pace to read a book on my personal TBR pile

I have actually read this one and enjoyed it! I always forget about his books.

I am currently engaging in some hardcore escapism. A 12 year old student at my school died last week and books are my go-to place when the real world sucks too much.

[Katrisa]

I finished Tokyo 3,9,10 last night and today. I checked out available audios from the library that were short and found Forget Me Not

for Tokyo 1
I also got The Sweet Life in Paris: Delicious Adventures in the World's Most Glorious - and Perplexing - City for Tokyo 8 and I am hoping to finish both by end of toppler tomorrow morning, but we'll see

[Katrisa]

Hey Sharon - I figured I'd move my chat to this thread - what grade/s did you teach/admin for? Were you elementary or HS?

[Christina ❤️M❤️]

Okay, I am 87% with Random Acts of Baby and still have 4 hours on the audio of The World Played Chess... Not going to make it on the audio. I'm going to finish the ebook tonight and probably won't get up in time tomorrow to listen.

[Christina ❤️M❤️]

I finished Random Acts of Baby a very whiny book.

That's it for me... We did awesome! It was a great toppler-.

Oh, I’m so sorry. I understand completely your need to escape. Hugs to you ❤️

[Laura]

I did finish my second book for Chicago 7, to finish it up. I’ll go report.

It was fun toppling with you ladies 📚❤️

[Sharon]

Can someone help me with scoring, please? I know we are not quite finished. I am up to date on what everyone has read as noted in our planning chart. I hurt my back yesterday and am a tad bit “loopy” from the meds. I would like someone to help with the scoring if possible.

[Katrisa]

I checked to make sure the spreadsheet matched our reporting thread and added the bonus for completing Chicago so the score on the spreadsheet looks accurate.
I should finish The Sweet Life in Paris: Delicious Adventures in the World's Most Glorious - and Perplexing - City in time too and will add it. It is quite funny :)

[Sharon]

Wonderful! I had 490 pts. As well. That is just outstanding!

That you everyone for helping, reading and being a great group to work with! I had a great time. Everyone participated and worked as a team. Y’all are awesome!

[Katrisa]

Thanks everyone for a fun toppler! I really love the team topplers and you all were so much fun!

[Laura]

I love the team topplers too, they are so much fun!

I hope your back is better soon Sharon ❤️🤗

Thank you. The pills are helping. LOL! Just a bit woozie. Our community book fair is in a couple of weeks and that’s what I get for unpacking books. Totally worth it!

[Laura]

Absolutely! 😄

[Jenn]

I am very sorry for the late report, but I was still out shoveling snow when I finished The Queen's Assassin for Berlin #2, and had to finish before I could come in and log in.

And, I am so sorry for your loss Katrisa, that is utterly heartbreaking. But, I am glad that the Toppler was so well timed to help with keeping you occupied.

Thank you all for an awesome Toppler, I would say that we all did a fabulous job knocking books off of the pile by the bed ;)

[Emma R.]

I just woke up and updated the spreadsheet. With Jenn's addition, it looks like we are at 520 points with 45 books read. I don't know if it is too late for the updated score or not...

[Sharon]

I have sent another message to Kristie. I am not sure if it is too late or not.

I just saw,Katrissa , where you are struggling with a death of a student. My thoughts are with you, your faculty, the other students and parents. It is a hard, hard thing.

[Sharon]

Hey, y’all! We won! Because you are all awesome! Congratulations!!

[Laura]

Wow, that’s awesome! You crazy wild readers are truly amazing 📚📚📚📚📚📚📚❤️

[Janice, Moderator]

Congrats! :)

[Christina ❤️M❤️]

Yay! Bet Sharon and Katrisa will never end up on the same team again. Y'all are rock stars.

[Jenn]

Haha no kidding Christina lol What an awesome team effort, way to go ladies 🎉

[Sharon]

LOL! Everyone plugged in holes and inspired others!LOL! Katrina IS a wonder!

[Laura]

It is truly amazing how much you ladies can read. Wow! Topplers are always fun 😀

[Katrisa]

Team topplers are my favorite!
