I've been wondering the same thing!

The Power

Elizabeth is Missing
Girl at War

Ahhh dalex I couldn't get the last book Luminaries. But I did figure they were all Women's Prize for fiction. Worked on that last night when I was bored. Yay team

I just finished The Robber Bride during lunch, which also happened to be published in Sept 1993. So, I marked off task 8 and we have one book to go for task 24.

Yay! Thanks Traci!

I currently reading Cuentos desde el Reino Peligroso (Tales from the Perilous Realm) and in this book there are poems. One poem that I read is Oliphaunt by J.R.R. Tolkien ( )

Laura said that one of the other groups has requested a second game board since they're mostly done theirs and it's only Monday. We're in that same boat. There are 7 days left in the read-a-thon. Would you guys be interested in a round 2 of the team challenge with a second board to uncover?

I would!

Count me in!

why not

I just finished Abridged Classics: Brief Summaries of Books You Were Supposed to Read but Probably Didn’t It is a graphic novel, so I don't know what it can be counted as, but it has 156 pages.

A new board sounds good to me!

Yes, new board for sure!

That sounds good.

I like the idea of a second board too. I just finished and read 333 pages today. Not sure if we can count it towards the new board or not? It would be a thriller.

Old board, new board wherever needed. I finished Good Neighbors Only thing I see on the new board would be female main character #21. Otherwise 244 pages.

Oh, task 24 is complete!!

I finally read my poem: Dulce et decorum est by Wilfred Owen about the horrors of WWI.

Also I told Laura we're game for a new board, so we should be getting it sometime soon.

I red my poem: Ithaka by Konstantinos Kavafis

Plus I finished reading The Runaway Jury by John Grisham that is 358 pages, so I have reached 500 pages

I just finished the audiobook of Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly. It filled my five hours of audiobook and the remaining pages finished up 100 for me in the first box. It’s also non-fiction.

I know we’ve filled those for the first board, so I assume they’ll go to the second.

I just finished Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin A. Abbott. This works for 7. author born in 1950 or earlier on the second board.

I just got a request from Johanne to be able to edit the spreadsheet. Is there anyone else who wants access and is not able to edit? I tried to make it editable for anyone with the link, but it may not have worked.

Hi Tracy, I was just trying to make it work from my iPad, went on that because it didn't update the spreadsheet on my phone... But it works fine on my computer and has all the time, so no worries.

Oops Traci wit an i.

Oh, good! Glad it's working.

I had sent a request, the spreadsheet ask me permission for access

I finished Cuentos desde el Reino Peligroso (Tales from the Perilous Realm), 256 pages, my version is without the tale "Roverandon". For the second board it count for task 19 (Read a fantasy or sci-fi book) and task 22 (for ATY challenge).

I currently reading La casa infernal (Hell House), my version has an orange cover (task 4).

I responded to the request, it should be good now.

Thanks Traci, I can access.

And I see that the task 15 is complete!!

Let the fun continue!

The new team board is being posted now, in the main topic. I'm going to remove the completed prompts for the sake of keeping things a little more simple.

The new board will be a continuation of the read-a-thon so the book, audio, and page totals are for all reading since the start of the read-a-thon. They can simply be tacked on to your current totals.

So it looks like I had access to the spreadsheet before but now I don't have access. I just put in a request.

We have 5 squares left on our first game board, so if someone can tell me if we've completed any of them, I'll get that board updated. (Tasks 2, 11, 15, 17, 24)

Katie, task 15, 24 and 17 (with the change of rules) are complete!

From the new board task 1 and 22 are complete!

Yes, I can’t access it anymore either.

Spreadsheet updated!

I add the book for task 16 (new board)

I add the book for task 20 (new board)

I don't have access either but sent a request.

I read 1 children's book Ghost Ship for #13 AND it counts for ATY (my children's challenge).

Almost done with Jack Glass for 19.

#7 Favorite book to movie adaptation: Stephen King's short story The Body to movie Stand By Me.

My favorite book to movie adaptation is The lord of the ring trilogy.

I'm not sure why it became inaccessible. I responded to all requests. Here's a new link that I said again should be shareable, so hopefully it works for everyone.

Actually, I think that's the same link, so I'm not sure what's going on. Maybe there's an issue with both the link and the requests? Feel free to request access if you need it! I'll try to be good about checking email!

I put Flatland into 2-12, F-A-L-L in the title.

For 23, every member participates in making the 2019 list, I assume that since I’ve made prompt suggestions and voted, I’ve filled that task?

I’m currently reading Black Rabbit Hall by Eve Chase and it can go towards 2, having trees on the front cover.

I have looked through a lot of lists of book to movie adaptations, but it seems I’ve almost never both read a book and watched the movie. So, of the ones that came up and I think are good, Remains of the Day and The English Patient.

I finished Jack Glass for #19.

#Katie - For our 2nd Board, you can uncover tasks 1, 6, 12, 16, 19, and 20! We are off to a great start!

oooh the list came in while I was sleeping (7.30 am here), exciting!

And my favourite book(s) to movie(s) is also the Lord of the Rings.

I am almost done with Annabel which works for #18 or #11 and should have it done by Wed or Thurs. I'll try to listen to some more audio tomorrow, also.
