Thankfully I am am back to normal today! I was able to finish Chain-Gang All-Stars and put it under A book whose title begins with a letter in BLACK. I started on The Leftover Woman yesterday but didn't make much progress. I not sure how much I will get through before the end of day but may add a few more pages read.

Sorry for the late check-in today. Let's all do our best to end strong! It's so great that we've completed second rounds of the gold, pink, and black prompts. @J, it's great to hear that Night Shift has been good!! I'm also doing my best to finish at least one more book before I go to bed tonight.
Finished another one today - Raiders of the Lost Heart, which was a fun escapist romp. I put it on source of light on the cover. I might finish one more tonight before I fall asleep, I'll try to make it one of the final slots on one of those colors!😄
Finished Mademoiselle Revolution and used it for 18th century. I'll read a bit more for pages, but that's probably the last book from me. It's been a fun week!
I've also finished my last book for the week. I'm half way through another, but not enough time. Luckily, I got enough into it that I think I'll be able to keep making progress and have less of a post readathon slump!It's been fun reading with you all this week, I'm impressed by the progress we ended up making on the second round prompts!

Doesn't look like there is enough time to also finish Ring for Jeeves.
Got one more in there before bed, completing the justice prompt and with it, our second round of purple! Thanks for the fun readathon, y'all! 💞
Thanks team for the great readathon!! We all did an amazing job and I'll echo Traci in saying how impressed I am with all the second rounds we completed in just a couple of days. I managed to finish one last book that I know I wouldn't have gotten through if it weren't for this readathon. I had lots of fun (despite not making the best choices in books this time around) and hope to see you all in future readathons and challenges!
Last night I finished
Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga TokarczukI don't know where to put it. Maybe shuffle something to make it fit?
Tried my best to finish one more yesterday but didn't quite make it. Got a bunch more pages in though.I too was surprised at our last minute push. I was on in the morning looking where I might put the book I was reading and came back last night to see that most of them had been filled. Which was awesome!
I definitely finished more books than I thought I would and some I don't think I would have read yet without the read-a-thon.
@Jessica - I was trying to push to get one more book completed before the end. I just needed the day to be one hour longer.But then I noticed that that book didn't qualify for any of the remaining topics. So, it didn't really matter.
I was looking at your book to see if there was an easy way to switch it into a topic and then move the book it displaced to an empty one. But I don't see that nor a place where bumping two and shifting them around would do it.
