Samantha | 1567 comments 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.

Irene (irene5) | 904 comments 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.

Roxana (luminate) | 769 comments 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!😄

Katherine | 232 comments 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!

Traci (tracibartz) | 1268 comments 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!

I'm giving it 5 stars.

Doesn't look like there is enough time to also finish Ring for Jeeves.

Roxana (luminate) | 769 comments 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! 💞

Irene (irene5) | 904 comments 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!

Robin H-R Holmes Richardson (acetax) | 958 comments Last night I finished
Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk

I don't know where to put it. Maybe shuffle something to make it fit?

JessicaMHR | 305 comments 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.

J Austill | 1116 comments @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.
