TEAM Literary Detectives: I Spy
I could also move The Village Healer’s Book of Cures down, and find something else to fit the "something you find in the garden" prompt.

Hola!I finished 2 books today and started 1 more, but unfortunately one of them doesn't fit any of the extra prompts.
I finished "Farsa de amor a la española" and
❌️Otra vez tú 268 pp (Fits something you find in the ocean)
El motel Sun Down (75 pp) (currently reading)
I'm going to let in standby The Motel, and try and find some book to complete that prompt (something in the ocean)
Way to go, Literary Detectives!

156 pages, so...easy peasy!"
Cool! A double!
Lorraine wrote: "Lisa, can you confirm what would be nationality and famous landmark? Thanks"I have the famous landmark covered. I am reading a short novella with the Eiffel tower on it. Nationality refers to the legal relationship or bond between an individual and a specific country or nation.
Lorraine wrote: "Thanks Blagica. So a book with a nation name would work for that prompt?"it look crossed out though
I am looking at the temperature prompt. Can someone give me an example of what it could be for a title?

Blagica wrote: "did someone clear the planning tab? It looks different"Yes, I've just hid them to make the bonus prompts more accessible without scrolling down.
Good morning busy bees! As far as I can tell, here's where we're at with the the bonus prompts:
Singles:
✓ Nationality - Carmen (complete)
✓ A made-up word - Blagica (complete)
✓ Temperature - Lorraine (in progress)
✓ Famous landmarks - Blagica (complete)
Doubles:
✓ Books (library, page, ink) - Carmen & Lisa (complete)
✓ Things found in the ocean - Carmen (complete)
Triples:
Farm
Restaurant
School - Lisa (in progress)
Which means we still need something for Tools (single prompt), Something you find in an office (double), and all the triples.
Did I miss something?
I can probably read something for the restaurant/farm prompt , but with about 12 hours of reading before midnight, it's cutting it close with all three.
Hi Everyone,I’m extremely sorry I didn’t respond earlier and I got caught up in my work. I had login before readthon starts and forgot about it. I’m fast reader and want to contribute at least minimum 1-2 books as the time permits,I do have read few books over last week but not sure what prompts it will fit.
Please let me know which book carries most points I can finish overnight and gain some points to team.

Good to see you, Dr!
We've got all the base prompts filled in, but you can look through the bonus prompts (on the tracking tab, and see if any of the books you've read, qualify there. Otherwise, could you please add them under the "Page points only" section? That way we get all the points we can get 😊
Keep in mind that triple prompts gain us most points, so for the bonus prompts that would mean books with a representation of "Restaurant" and "Farm" on the cover and/or title.
I hope that makes sense, otherwise let me know. And likewise if you need help or have other questions about the spreadsheet.

Hola!For the double "something you find in an office", I'm currently reading Attachments (I'm over 50% done), and have several other options to complete the prompt.
Way to go, team!!!

For farm, there is Animal Farm by George Orwell. For restaurant, you have The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams.

I'm actually not sure, I will get to anything other more than the books I'm currently reading. I'll complete the school triple prompt soon, and then I'm still working my way through The God of the Woods.
Lorraine, were you reading Fahrenheit 451?
So with the newest updates:
We're missing the following prompts :
- Tools (x1)
- Farm (x3)
- Restaurant (x3)

Yes Lisa I am working on the temperature prompt. If I have time I might start another book but it will not fit a prompt.

That's completely fine 😊I was just adding the title to the spreadsheet
I have a question would I be more helpful to read
-restaurant prompt or should I put my focus on Tool?
Blagica wrote: "I have a question would I be more helpful to read
-restaurant prompt or should I put my focus on Tool?"Not sure but for the restaurant we need 3 books to get the points...
Blagica wrote: "I have a question would I be more helpful to read
-restaurant prompt or should I put my focus on Tool?"I would say Tool prompt, because I'm not sure whether anyone else is reading or has the time to read for the triple before midnight.
I think it's better to have a full prompt, even if it is a single than an incomplete triple if we run out of time.
Hi,I will be completing Knot happening it’s totally 325 pages.You can include it today’s page counts. I’ll post once I finish also
Blagica wrote: "21 of 390 done I'm counting a ladder as a tool"I would definitely qualify a ladder as a tool as well. Keep it up, Blagica!
Lisa wrote: "I'm about to hit my limit of books I want to look at for this readathon 😰 😅"I so understand! 😂 It's 11:30 am here and I am completely exhausted !

I'll try to find something more 😅
WELL DONE, TEAM!!!
