AMBITIOUS! I like it lol

But let's do different prompts for the second round?

Sounds fun! I'm definitely up for it.

Sure Tien. I can do a big book for prompt 2 for the second round.

I would like to go for prompt 6 for the second round.

I can do Prompt 3 for the second round. Not sure if I'll completely finish 2 books though.

My first book is finished ;-). Milk and Honey for Prompt 1. Quick as it is a book of poetry but packs a punch. Loved it.

I really like that one too.

Yay Anna!

I've finished my first book too. Starry Eyes for prompt 5 comfort read. It was such a teenager book, but I still enjoyed it

It's okay Joanna if you can only do one. For the last 2 read-a-thon I read 4-5 books. But with a bigger book I'll probably read less

I could do 1 or 4 for a second round.

I can do anything except 1 (finished that one) for a second round.

Yikes! You guys are putting me to shame ha ha ha

Ellis wrote: "I could do 1 or 4 for a second round."

Ellis, I had to put you for 1 because only Kristina & I are left and we have both completed 1.

@Kristina, your pick: 4 or 5?

4 would be great. Thanks!

Done! I'll take 5 then :)

Looks like we traded our prompts Tien :D you did a big one for round 1 and I did a comfort read, now it is the other way around.
Tien, which big book are you reading?
I'm thinking about reading a small big one of a little over 500 pages

Yep, my book isn't that big either, 516 pages ;)

am about halfway through the audio

I loved it so much Joanna that I am going to read her other collection, The Sun and Her Flowers. Have you read it?

Great stuff Lusie!

Y'all are definitely going to be able to tell which nights I don't have my son, by page numbers alone. It's amazing how much reading you get done when someone isn't climbing all over you or ripping your book out of your hand!

awww, how old is he, Ellis?

Tien wrote: "awww, how old is he, Ellis?"

He's 2. Sweet, but very 2.

aww, I know what you mean!!

Enjoy it while it lasts though ha ha ha

No, but I'd be interested in it. I'll be interested in hearing what you think.

lol Ellis. I know what you mean. He sounds cute.

I've finished Thuishaven for prompt 2
Not sure what to read next... Joanna said she might not be able to finish her second book, but that is the one prompt I already finished though maybe I should just up my goal...

Woah, you're really smashing out your reading! That's amazing, Lusie :)

I have finished my first (prompt 2) book for the team.

I haven't quite decided which book/s to fit for my second (prompt 5); I'm mid-read 2 atm so I'll see which I finish first then put it here ;p

Oh, I finished my Round 1 (Prompt 6) book on Tuesday! I maybe should have mentioned that.

yes, please let me know when you finished the books for the team goal & when everyone is done, I'll post in the main thread :)

Thanks Tien. For both prompts I picked easy reads (romance). If no one thinks they won't be able to finish then I'll just read a book for a random prompt.

Finished An American Marriage this morning for Prompt 6.

Need to have a look to see what I will read next. I am in the middle of Bel Canto which I think is a Prompt 6 book too so may try to finish that one this weekend.

Anna, you can't use a book for the team prompts if you started it before the read-a-thon, but it does count for the page numbers

Hey, Lusie. I'll definitely finish my round 1 book, but I'm not sure I'm going to get my round 2 -- Prompt 4 (Series) book -- finished before Tuesday. So, if you're looking for something to read and you happen to have a prompt 4 book available, feel free! LOL

I just finished my Round 2 book (Prompt 1).

Kristina, I didn't see your message until now and already picked up another book. The one I'm reading works for prompt 1.

I think Anna means the first book for the team prompt and that's her second team book so she's done her bit & will continue reading what she was reading earlier ;)

I'll finish my Prompt 4, but I'm not likely to finish another one for the team goal. I had too many books already started.

Not to worry, Joanna, I'm reading a book that could fit into Prompt 3 which was your second book allocation, right?

Lusie wrote: "Anna, you can't use a book for the team prompts if you started it before the read-a-thon, but it does count for the page numbers"

That's OK. I completed my team prompts - this is for extra reading.

If prompt 4 series for the second round needs to be picked up I can do it. I started Scarlet yesterday.

That would be great. Thanks, Anna! It seems my next series book has become popular, for some reason. There's a 4 week waiting list on the library website now. I should have grabbed it when it was available!

I finished my Round 1, prompt 3 book last night. Sooo good!! I'm behind on updating (I've been reading instead!). I'll get around to updating shortly.

I finished Steelheart for prompt 1, but we don't need a book for that one

That's frustrating, Kristina! Was the ending of the previous book a cliffhanger?

Lusie wrote: "That's frustrating, Kristina! Was the ending of the previous book a cliffhanger?"

No, thankfully! It's one of the In Death books by J.D. Robb. Weird because my library had the ebook available when I said I'd do prompt 4 but then 2 people jumped on it before I went back to check it out. Oh well, more time for reading my 600+ page prompt 2 book, I guess. ;-)

I've posted in the main thread to note that we've completed our Team Goal: /topic/show/...

No problem ;-) I am almost done - should be finished in time.

I've completed Beach Read prompt 5
