JennH | 554 comments Thanks for the breakdown, Kat. It's so much easier seeing it broken down that way. I'd move from each to the next page and forget what was needed.

Amy, thanks for moving Killer Crab Cakes back. I was going to once I finished The Memory Police and switched the books, unless someone else can put a book in a place to visit first.

We've got a few more prompts covered or will be covered this morning. So now all we have left is:
A book with a flavour in the title
A book set in Italy
A book with someone smiling on the cover

And I thought I saw a possibility for a smile on the cover in the plans.

Woohoo! Go Team Mixer!

°~Amy~° (amybooksit) No one is working on a book set in Italy at the moment if anyone wants to jump on that for another Cannoli.

I found a book in my Audible library called "24 hours in Ancient Rome" and it's not too long. I'll hopefully start it tonight (my husband is busy playing a new video game he's been super excited about, so I can sit and crochet with my cats and a good audiobook in peace!)

I've also finished A Pho Love Story and put it down as "set in a place I'd love to visit" (California) to take us a step further towards another focaccia.
I've got about 60 pages left of Nine Goblins for "smiling person on the cover" so I should get that done within the next hour or so.

I wish my cat would curl up with me and let me read. My cat is currently trying to steal my bagel which is distracting me from my audiobook. She'd be no help whatsoever with anything that involves yarn!

Hannah | 384 comments I've just finished The Murder on the Links and added it for book set in France.

From the spreadsheet, it looks like we need:

1 more book for Focaccia - A book with a flavour word in the title
3 more books for Cannolis - A book with a yellow cover, A book set in Italy, A book with someone smiling on the cover
5 more books for Mini rolls - A comfort read, A book with a circle on the cover, A short book, A book with a read cover, A book used for the ATY Challenge.

I'm not quite sure what to read next, but I'll have a look at what I can find that fits as many of these categories as possible.

Thanks for the list Hannah. The book I am currently reading will fit CIRCLE or RED. I will have to think about what to read after that.

Ellie (patchworkbunny) | 2992 comments Argh time got away from me yesterday so I barely read at all. I'm not sure if I'll finish anything today, I don't think Breathless fits anything useful.


message 108: by °~Amy~° (new)

°~Amy~° (amybooksit) We are in the final stretch today. Here on the East Coast of the US it is just after 7:30am. 16.5 hours of reading time left today. I do have to work today but most of the day I will be able to listen to my audiobooks. I have one going and two waiting their turn. :)

These are the *most needed* prompts left at the moment:

Flavor Word in the Title
A Short Book
Book for 2022 AtY
Set in Italy

Happy reading everyone!

Sherri Harris | 1498 comments Good Morning All, I decided to pick back upBlack Leopard, Red Wolf so I'm reading for sprinkles. I'm always sad when a read-a-thon ends. I'm already planning short books for the next one. This has been fun & I got a lot of books read.


message 110: by Hannah (new)

Hannah | 384 comments I’ve just added The Bean Trees for a short book. As we’ve got books being read for the three remaining prompts, I’m going to be reading for sprinkles and continue with the books I’ve put to the side this week.


message 111: by JennH (new)

JennH | 554 comments I just put in The Merchant of Venice for a book set in Italy to finish our third cannoli.

I've started a short book, Sweet Tea B&B that could fit the book with a flavor word, unless someone fills it in first.

I've also started Triple Chocolate Cheesecake Murder but I don't think I'll finish it today, so it'll go for sprinkles.

Can't believe we're here at the last day of the readathon!


message 112: by Kat (new)

Kat | 566 comments My quiet Sunday ended up being not so quiet so I have only managed 6 pages. I have a couple of hours of reading time left so I'll try for a few more sprinkles.


message 113: by °~Amy~° (new)

°~Amy~° (amybooksit) I have 2 hours of My Sweet Orange Tree left. It will fit into the 2022 ATY prompt if that is still available when I finish. If not, SPRINKLES! :)


message 114: by Aimee (new)

Aimee (pebbles320) I finished Sweet Bean Paste for "flavour word in the title" which has given us one last focaccia.
I also finished 24 Hours in Ancient Rome: A Day in the Life of the People Who Lived There which doesn't fit anywhere useful (I was reading it for 'set in Italy' but we don't need that anymore). At least it gave us enough audiobook hours for another load of sprinkles :)


message 115: by Aimee (new)

Aimee (pebbles320) I'm off to bed now, thanks all for a really fun reading challenge!

Great job Aimee! Have a great night!

°~Amy~° (amybooksit) 10:30pm and I just completed My Sweet Orange Tree for the 2020 AtY prompt slot :)


message 118: by JennH (new)

JennH | 554 comments I finished a couple of books that I entered on the spreadsheet, just to put them in a slot.

Great fun reading with you all!

Kat | 566 comments Well done everyone, it's been a fun week.

Sherri Harris | 1498 comments Good morning all. I put my last pages read in this morning. This was fun. Thank You.

Sandra Lourenço (ssandraa) | 180 comments I have just added my pages for yesterday and also a book I finished, A ​Court of Silver Flames, in the 4th Cannoli :)
