I finished Midnight at the Blackbird Cafe yesterday. I forgot to note where I stopped reading Thursday so will just dived the total page count between two days. I'm back to house renos today, but will find an audio to fill another spot while I work. Just waiting for my laptop to charge up since updating is so much easier there than on the phone.

Thank you! I will try to figure out something I can finish by tomorrow night.

Great thanks. So I've finished this and slotted it in for set in house or mansion round 2.

I was traveling today and thought I would read more but had a headache so just listened to an audiobook. I'll add that and I did get some pages in. I am home and might finish one more tomorrow, not sure.

That part was so crazy!! LOL

I've added my books and pages. Midnight at the Blackbird Café fits a bunch, but I figured I'd mark it as Science and Nature (lots of birds, gardening, etc) because that was the category we're closest to finishing. But can be swapped around easily.

I should finish my audio (South of the Buttonwood Tree) today, for another 6 ish hours, and will continue on with Secret History, but very doubtful I'll finish in time to use a prompt.

I finished Piranesi, what a strange book. I am not really sure where I would put it except for large house or may science but really hard to say where else it could go.

I don't think I will be finishing anything further.

It was nice reading with you all!

I've added in the last of my hours and pages from Sunday. Nothing more finished. But this readathon I think I read/listened to the most I ever have in a readathon. It's been fun reading with you!

I don't know if I can finish my last book tonight. Still we did very well as a team!

[Sophia]

I'll probably update my hours in the morning - no real pages yesterday but I got in a few hours of audiobook today and I'll finish Veronika Decides to Die before tonight. Great job, team! Even with the new pages rules we totally crushed it this week!

[Alicia]

Just finished the Family Game. Put it under entertainment & arts (the games and her being a writer). That completes the second round of Trivial Pursuit

Such a great time with all of you!!

Way to go team! Thanks for the fun week of reading :D
