Beth, I think you're going through the spreadsheet now. I just added my last books.

[Beth]

I was but stopped for now. I'll finish up tomorrow in case anyone comes in clutch. 😅

Can anyone help me add All the Light We Cannot See to the spreadsheet to count for page points, as Jenn mentioned? It was 544 pages long. I'm scared that I'm going to mess something up haha!

It was wonderful being in a group with y'all! Hopefully I will catch yall in a future readathon where I can contribute more! Again, I apologize for not being as helpful as I wanted to be!

I can add it for you, Brianna. Don't apologize, I just hope you're feeling better! And yes, there will be future readathons!

Yay! Thank you Jenn! I am feeling much better! I would not wish those symptoms on anyone. I don't think I've felt that miserable in a long time.

See you in future readathons!

Whew! Another readathon down! Like I said in the beginning of the readathon, we have the smallest team. But together we accomplished A LOT! We managed to complete all the prompts plus bonus prompts. And this was done with a member a bit under the weather, and another truly sick! Wow!

It was great fun reading with you all. I managed to read books I needed for various other challenges for this group and elsewhere, so huge win for me.

See you at the next readathon, or hopefully sooner at a challenge or activity!

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to say that it was so much fun. This was my first readathon and I've been in a bit of a reading slump lately so I tried to be realistic and predicted I would read 3-4 books. But you all motivated me and I ended up reading 6. Thank you for the motivation, recommendations and discussions! You rock! Hope to see you again in future readathons!

All the best :)

Beth, Jenn
I thought Tsubame was a 2020 book but no. It was first published in 2001. My version was 2021. Thus the mistake
Sorry. I made the correction on the spreadsheet

So glad you enjoyed your first experience with a readathon! And fantastic that it helped you move forward from your reading slump. Yes, there is something about the friendly competition and having teammates that motivate one to read more. One of the many reasons I love readathons! Hope to see you at future readathons, too!

Easy mistake to make. I get confused by Goodreads info. I find that it's not always accurate. That's why I found myself looking at outside sources for the publishing date. Thanks for the update. Beth will be going through the spreadsheet.

[Beth]

OK, I'm going to do a final run through the spreadsheet now. Back soon with stats! When I have the stats here, I'll post in the completion thread.

Beth, I'm not sure what happened. But I seem to be missing a book on the Tracking page. I only realized upon noting stats on my own personal book log. It's on the Completed page but not elsewhere. It's Happy Birthday, Turk! by Jakob Arjouni. It has 170 pages. I didn't want to add it now, as you're working on the spreadsheet, to add to the confusion.

[Beth]

Jenn, I see it fits as non-prompt. Is that correct? If so, I'll add it.

And I see you have the audiobook edition in your bookshelf. The default edition on GR lists 192 pages, so that's what I'll count. Never mind. I just noticed you said in your post that it's 170 pages.

There are a few books that aren't on Completed or Tracking. I don't know why it's been so tricky to finalize things this time around, but I'm just finishing up now. Once I know about this last book of yours, I'll add it and ensure it's counted in our stats.

Yep, that's the book. Thanks!
