I just finished The Shore Road Mystery for the 1920s prompt and entered it into the tracking sheet. I'll work on my other book now.Also, I noticed there are 700 pages read in the non-prompt section that the spreadsheet is not adding to our group total. Not sure how to fix that, though.
I finished Eye of the Needle... found some down time this morning! My plan is to start on a 2020 book next.
@D. L. Yes I entered that 700 pages last night and noted above that we are not getting credit for it. Originally that book was supposed to go under 2010 so we may need the switch it so we can get the higher page points ?

You read so many pages, it should be added into the final count :)
I added The House on Mango Street to the spreadsheet for the 1980's, I will finish soon and mark it complete
I have a little over 150 pages left of "Silver Sparrow."I hope to find an audio book next, for additional points.

(And the spreadsheet should be working so it counts those, now.)
Finished with "Silver Sparrow."Not sure how far I'll get with the audio book that I started earlier. I'll add the info for that one tonight or tomorrow. morning. 3 hours left for me. Strawberry Lane
I finished a book for my last prompt (timepiece on cover). I ended up reading The Christmas Clock. It's shorter than the book I originally planned, but Murder Past Due was not moving quickly enough for me.I think I'm done now. I had a great time, everyone!
I hope you all enjoyed this readathon! Thank you for participating!Team Leaders Only.

You're welcome! I read a few books from my TBR but now I'm scrambling to finish my planned monthly challenge books. I have such high goals and only so many minutes in a day to read! lol.
