TEAM Rewind and Read- Through The Decades

[✨ Brianna Raquel ✨]

If any tasks aren't covered, let me know, and I'll try to find something to read for them.

[Betty]

Hi Team Rewind and Read!

We're doing great so far. We've completed 3 single prompts and 3 double prompts so far. And working towards completing some other prompts, including several triples. We get the most points per book by completing triple prompts, so let's focus on those the most.

Looks like the spot we definitely need something else for is the double prompt "a year or date in the title". Brianna - this would be a good place for you to see if you can find one to fill it.

Let me know how it's going for you all and if you have any problems or questions.

[Betty]

Here's where we're at with all the prompts. I'll try to keep it updated as the readathon progresses.

• read 2 books with a unit of time in the title
• read 3 books published or set in the 2010s

I’ll update the google doc once I’m by my pc.

[Blagica , Challenges]

[Blagica , Challenges]

Jack & Jill < finished
OntoThe Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon published in 1999 to finish out the 1990s

[Kay-Mika]

Zwei glückliche Sommer
Type of book: apparently German literature ( whatever that means)
but the protagonist is 19 and the other three young women are around 20 to 23-ish, so I would say YA.
The publisher is known for publishing books for 12 to 13 year olds (and children , think of Enyd Blyton)
Description:
Read a book you haven’t read since you were younger
last time read 20.8.2012
Read 2 books with a unit of time in the title. has the word “Sommer(summer)” in the title
Read 2 books published or set in the 1930s.

Kay-Mika which prompt are you filling with your 1 book so we know what needs doing ?

Honestly, you can decide. Whichever prompt needs it most

[LinaVer]

Blagica wrote: "if you put it in 2010s and I put dark Matter in 2010s we will only need one"

Ok, I've put it in 2010s :)

[LinaVer]

I'm enjoying The Handmaid's Tale but it's a bit of a heavy read, so I am also starting Always Be My Duchess, which will fill the "timepiece" prompt (single).

[Betty]

For now I'm putting Kay-Mika's book in the 1970s prompt.

[Shari]

My Historical Non-Fiction book I had picked to read is less than 100 pages. I had forgotten that was a requirement for the books. I will look for another book to fit this prompt unless someone else already has a book that will fit this.

[Shari]

The Longings of Wayward Girls - I have this on my planning page, but it looks like other books have already filled the 2 prompts this fits. Can you confirm?
Once I finish my current book (Delusion In Death) I will start on The Lost Hours next.

[Blagica , Challenges]

if the 2010s is what you need I can move dark Matter let me know

[Betty]

Shari - The Longings of Wayward Girls would work great for the set in 2 or more time periods single prompt. The other ones planned that fit that are being used for other prompts, so it's available.

Also, I moved the Air Raid Book Club to fill the 40s prompt. I'm going to read a book for an already filled decade for the historical fiction single.

[Betty]

We’re moving along well, team!!

For the 1970s prompt, I’m starting a book I remember very fondly from my childhood, “Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH”

[Blagica , Challenges]

I can read Carrie for the 70s I have about 2 hours left with the girl who loved Tom Gordon.

[Betty]

Blagica wrote: "I can read Carrie for the 70s I have about 2 hours left with the girl who loved Tom Gordon."

That would be great!

[LinaVer]

All my read books/upcoming reads can be moved wherever they fit best. I've tried my best to fill in all the possible prompts they suit.

[Blagica , Challenges]

I will start and finish Carrie tomorrow.

[Blagica , Challenges]

The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon < finished
Carrie < tonight or tomorrow

[LinaVer]

* The Handmaid's Tale - finished - I've put it under "set in a future decade" but if someone else was reading for that prompt, it can also suit the 80s prompt or "published in a decade I was born", as I was born in the 80s.
* Always Be My Duchess - will probably finish tonight/tomorrow - for the "timepiece on the cover" but would fit some other prompts as well (will mark them in the planning tab)

I know I said I might read 2-6 books and I've planned them in, but it's going kind of slow for me, sorry! If anyone has good recommendations for shorter books for the last days to read, I could switch to them to fill in one or two prompts.

[LinaVer]

I’ve just seen a comment somewhere on the internet by a person who calculated that the time frame for when the events in The Handmaid's Tale are set is 2010s because (view spoiler)[ on page 207 the main character said she’s 33 now, and she remembers that when she was 7 years old her mother told her of the holocaust which happened (for them then) 40 years ago. So 1945 + 40 = 1985 was when she was 7 years old. 1985 + (33-7=26) = 2011 is the year the main events in the book are happening, approx. (hide spoiler)] I’ve marked the calculation as spoiler just in case it is. Anyway, if things are happening in 2011 (”near future”, seeing as the book was published in the 80s), this book could possibly fill the 2010s prompt also and we’d then have that triple finished.

Should I move it to that prompt then?

Don't worry about how much you're reading. We're just glad to have you participating with us on Team Rewind and Read! :)

For now, I'm going to put The Handmaid's Tale in the 1980s prompt and Delusion in Death (in progress by Shari) in the future prompt.

I'm pretty sure I can come up with something easily for 2010s.

[Blagica , Challenges]

I have one for 2010 to read after Carrie. I have a doctors appointment today then I am reading. Hoping to get 3 more books read by Sunday.

I’ll be done with Always Be My Duchess tomorrow morning (not many pages left). So, I will have time tomorrow and after tomorrow (potentially two more shorter books).

Betty, is there any prompt, especially from the triples, that I could read something for and help finish the prompt? I’m not particularly tied to the books I’ve planned previously and can switch to something else if needed.

[Betty]

Looking at what we still need.

We'll be all set with the triples with what's in progress now.

For the doubles:

Billie - do you think you'll still be able to read The Wisteria Society?
If not, our biggest help would be someone reading another book published or set in the 1920s.

After that, I would say focus on the remaining singles.

[LinaVer]

Betty, thank you for looking into our progress.

✅ I’m done with Always Be My Duchess.

After that I’ll read these:
✅• Read a book published in the year or decade you were born - Eleanor & Park
• Read a historical nonfiction novel - The Diary of a Young Girl Lithuanian translation, I have it at home


Alternatively, if Billie won’t be able to read for 1920s, I could read ✅The Great Gatsby for the 1920s prompt instead of The Diary of a Young Girl

[Billie-Jade]

The Wisteria Society is not set in the 1920’s I have removed it from the prompt on the spreadsheet when I realised. I have started it already but it will only fit the historical fiction prompt. I am about 3/4 of the way through atmosphere so I should finish both of those.

Ok! The readathon finished tomorrow, on 27th at 00:00 our time, right?

[Betty]

It ends at 11:59pm on July 27th, so we have all day on the 27th to read.

[Blagica , Challenges]

how is Ruin and Rising marked as day in the title?

[Betty]

Blagica wrote: "how is Ruin and Rising marked as day in the title?"

I see it marked for the Older Adult Main Character prompt

[Blagica , Challenges]

oh I am sorry I must have looked at the wrong one =)

[LinaVer]

Good morning,
Eleanor & Park for "Read a book published in the year or decade you were born" is done ✅
Onto The Great Gatsby.

Happy reading and last day of the readathon!

[LinaVer]

I just realized Eleanor & Park is only based in the 80s, but not published, so it does not fit the "Read a book published in the year or decade you were born" prompt. BUT I've switched it with The Handmaid's Tale in the tracking and that still works, so luckily all is good. :D

[Kay-Mika]

Question: If I finish a book today and update it tomorrow would that count?

[Betty]

Kay-Mika wrote: "Question: If I finish a book today and update it tomorrow would that count?"

Yes, as long as the reading is completed before 7/28, you can update the sheet tomorrow

[Blagica , Challenges]

Leverage is done finishing our 2010 prompts. I started Misery for a book published in the year I was born but I will swap it for something once i shower

[Kay-Mika]

Okay, thank you

[Billie-Jade]

I have finished the wisteria society and have added it to the spreadsheet. I have started reading heartless hunter and I’m half way through which has flashbacks so it could count for 2 or more time periods possibly if I can finish it in time. If not or if the prompt is filled I will add it to the non-prompt section of the spreadsheet tomorrow.

[LinaVer]

Blagica wrote: "Leverage is done finishing our 2010 prompts. I started Misery for a book published in the year I was born but I will swap it for something once i shower"

I'm sorry, Blagica, I missed that!

I've finished The Great Gatsby for the 1920s.
And it's only 2,5 hours left for me of the readathon, so that's my last book.

[Kay-Mika]

I have finished 'Sweet Nightmare ' which can count for a unit of time in the title
