Feb24 Read-a-Thon: Krewe of Zulu

[Nancy]

Ooh IDK Allie, maybe ask in the FAQ? I would count it.

I finished A God in Ruins, finally. I put it in for character in SILVER. Unfortunately I don't know much of what happened in the first half when I was listening to the audio, oh well!

On to The Women! I'm halfway through the audio of Concrete Rose as well.

[Caitie]

No major updates from me, just continuing to read A Visit from the Goon Squad

[Jillian]

Allie, I agree with Nancy to check with Emily on FAQ. I won’t count it, since it is gray to me. But I’m also not very good at loosely interpreting prompts which okay especially in read-thons.

[Allie]

Emily said it was okay, so I put it down. I'm about half way through The Night Circus, which I KNOW has silver

[Erica]

Finally finished House of Flame and Shadow I started it in January. 🥳

[Nancy]

Yay Erica! I know how good that feels.

Somehow the prompt "A book whose main character's name starts with a letter in MARDI GRAS" was removed from the Plans sheet, I added it back. If everyone could go back and add their books that fit that would be great.

We've finished 4 bead colors, way to go team! I have 3.5 hours left on Concrete Rose and I've started a puzzle so should bang that out tonight. It fits 2 of the prompts we still need to fill, though calling it a love story is a bit of a stretch lol so I'll put it in letter in Mardis Gras if it's still available.

[Caitie]

I finished A Visit from the Goon Squad last night! I'll slot it in in an appropriate place.

Next up is The Midnight Bargain. Hopefully will be able to finish it sometime this weekend!

I hope you enjoyed it. I read recently House of Earth and Blood and it also a long book!

I decided to DNF The Witch's Heart because I still couldn’t really get into it 120 pages in. I started The Bridge Kingdom and should hopefully finish tomorrow.

[Jillian]

I should finish We tomorrow. I know it works for light on the cover. I have a lot of cleaning and reorganizing my computer room this weekend so I might finish another audio book. I’m still reading on The Bee Sting though it will just count towards pendants. It is pretty interesting but too long to finish this weekend.

[Erica]

It felt good to finish that book but I am still annoyed that a book I've been impatiently waiting for took me weeks to read and not because I wasn't enjoying it. Anyway it was great for my page count.

[Erica]

@Kathryn it's good to read what you feel like and stop when you aren't into a book.

[Jillian]

I ended up just listening to and finishing The Red Fox Clan. I went ahead and put it for a book with a Queen and King since there is a chance that we can complete another gold bead but it can be moved to a few other spots.

[Nancy]

I started and finished It Starts with Us yesterday and put it in for gold on the cover, hoping we can finish a second gold bead.

I'm loving The Women and hoping I can finish it today but I have some stuff to do around the house first. My son is working and then going to his dad's tonight so I have the whole evening to read.

[Chrissy]

I’m only at 40% on Bad Cree, so it isn’t that likely I’ll finish it today but we’ll see!

[Jillian]

I moved my finished book Migrations from "A book whose main character breaks a law" to the second spot of "Family drama" and then put my just finished book We in the "A book whose main character breaks a law".

I don't think I will finish any more books for this read-a-thon. It has been a fun reading week.

[Erica]

Yesterday was a bad day for reading! Anyway I'm hoping to finish two books tonight Orbital and Brown Girl Dreaming.

[Kathryn]

I don’t think I’ll be finishing any more books tonight but am glad that I finished two books more than expected. And I’m really happy with our team’s progress. This was fun!
