[potent obsidian]

i think i‘ll be spending the last day of this readathon finishing up the metamorphoses, unless i magically finish this before the day ends which will allow me to pick up another book

[wicked crane]

I haven't read at all today so I'm going to do a lil sprinty sprint to catch up

I think my readathon goals were too ambitious

[indigo vortex]

Same

[vernal plover]

I did start God of the Woods but got distracted bij Prince and Assassin (perilous courts book 1) and read that until 50% in bed last night

Sorry not sorry

Which BTW I'm thoroughly enjoying

The cheap cover alway put me off reading it

[potent obsidian]

i’m so glad you’re enjoying it andy

[potent obsidian]

kay i didn’t do much reading lolsssssssssssssssss so i’m gonna LOCK IN after dinner and try to finish this tonight

[dusty dust]

The readathon is now over for me, I finished the first Harry Potted Book and got 76/109 pages into The Little Prince, honestly better then I thought I would do

[potent obsidian]

readathon is over for me too! i didn‘t end up finishing the metamorphoses because i started severance s2. see you all in the next one

[gray harness]

Readathon is about over for me, too. I managed to finish Dead Silence and I'm about to start #1327570944918818910 so I did reasonably well. Looking forward to the next one

[elfin barn]

omg I need to start s2 soon as well! I have to stay off twitter to avoid spoilers

I've got 6 hours left and I'm aiming to finish 2 more books if I can

[potent obsidian]

urgh it‘s been so good i‘ve just finished the 2nd episode of s2 and

[potent obsidian]

[indigo vortex]

I have a little over an hour and ten min to finish #1323790126324777033
I’m only 43% through so going to start a reading sprint to hopefully finish🥲
Edit:I fell asleep 3/4th through my reading sprint

[potent obsidian]

i’m joining your sprint, i really need to finish my cr

[indigo vortex]

Haha okay I should be starting like now 🫶😭

[potent obsidian]

nvm it’s too late for me, have fun dude!!

[ivory swan]

I will read in the next few hours since I still have some time left for this readathon but I finished Roadside Picnic, read about a third of Parable of Talents, and now taking a crack (finally!!) at In Cold Blood

[vernal plover]

Anyone up for a reading sprint?

Nvm ry I see you sprinting!

[vernal plover]

I might finish prince and assassin in bed right now and that will conclude the readathon for me! I had a lot of fun and felt motivated again to do some sprints : D

[wicked crane]

I still have around 12 more hours so I'm gonna finish this shit!!!!

Turning on the engine in my ass

[silent latch]

Finished another Death Note book and it was ok!

[vernal plover]

Finished The Prince and The Assasin! It was cute

i only finished one book but i managed to read 500 pages across three different ones

[quiet cipher]

500 pages is huge katto, nice work

I finished one, read an entire one, and then got a third of the way through a third book

Very productive readathon

[wicked crane]

OML THANK GOD I FINISHED A CHAPTER and got to cross off another task

All that's left of my goals is to do my school readings!
It is Plato time 😎

is it okay to decide what to read as we go along? I'm trying really hard not to start new books till I finish the 2 I'm currently reading but will have a better idea of what I will read closer to those dates (sorry, still new here).

[quiet cipher]

You're good, you can absolutely just decide what to read as you go

Some folks like to make a plan but that's not required!

[distant dew]

[vernal plover]

Zander! Early hapyy birthday!

[floral pine]

thank you Andy

[elfin barn]

it should just be the title! there isnt usually a theme for the readathons but jana sometimes does optional challenges

[potent obsidian]

ooh sorry i didn’t see this! and it’s just the title of the readathon because we’re doing readathons for all the february weekends coz of obc bday, and it’s a baby one because it’s shorter than our normal readathons.

[silent latch]

Oh wow that’s a lot of readathon!

[potent obsidian]

Obc’s bday, we want to celebrate as much as possible

[silent latch]

Oh makes sense

[bold wagon]

My plan for the first readathon:
🎂 Finish https://discord.com/channels/811077227449286667/1324018746045497425
🎂 Start and finish The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells
🎂 Start another book TBD

[vernal plover]

You're reading 2 different books called invisible man? Awesome!

[bold wagon]

Haha, yeah. I'm doing the winter bingo so "The Invisible Man" fills the prompt of "similar title as previous book".

[north cove]

Wanted to clarify to make sure I understand what a readathon is…read as much as possible in a given timeframe?

[potent obsidian]

Yeah, pretty much.

So, I won‘t send in challenges for the upcoming 1st to 2nd February one because it‘s going to be a short one and I just want everyone to chill and start their February book adventure their own way, but will send some things for the other Feb readathons. Don‘t hesitate to ping me if anyone has any questions!

[quiet cipher]

readathon TBR: finish The Feast by Margaret Kennedy, read Clear by Carys Davies and Foster by Claire Keegan

[distant dew]

Eeeeyy these readathons does help push me aswell to get big chunk of a book as this one is a chonker itself

[inner trench]

did you enjoy it? it’s been sat on my shelf for a month or so.

[potent obsidian]

Yes!

#1332985803210752063 message These are my thoughts

[inner trench]

oh i didn't realise there was a buddy read for orbital, thank you for linking ur thoughts

[elfin barn]

it only recently started

[potent obsidian]

It started like on the 28th! It‘s really a good book

[distant dew]

I thought I could finish Barbi and villain today sleep wave is hitting me lmao! But thank you for obc mini readathon this weekend!! Enjoyed it a lot!! Can’t wait for the next one will finish this read tomorrow

[elfin barn]

I doubt I'm going to be able to read any more today so

[quiet cipher]

I read Foster by Claire Keegan today and am just starting Clear by Carys Davies

[ivory swan]

What did you think of Foster?

[quiet cipher]

I enjoyed it! There was a nice balance between the melancholy that underpins some of the interactions between characters and events in the book, and the peace and love that the character finds in her foster family. I would've liked it to be a liiiiittle bit longer so I could've seen the relationship between the narrator and Kinsella develop further, but I appreciate Keegan's light touch and her way of telling deeply human stories with relatively sparse language and in short texts

[quiet cipher]

65% through Clear, going to take a break to make dinner and then watch a stream for a bit

[ivory swan]

Ya I really liked how she was able to capture the essence of a character without spending too much space and I really enjoyed her writing

[bold wagon]

Final Results:
📚 Finished Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison
📚 Started and finished The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells
📚 Started and finished The Pollinator Victory Garden by Kim Eierman
📖 Started The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna

[quiet cipher]

[vernal plover]

Thank you for this weekends readathon @potent obsidian !

[potent obsidian]

No worries, happy to have hosted it!!!

[vernal plover]

I finished The Raven Boys, which I enjoyed reading very much. I made some progress in The God of The Woods, which I'm not sure yet if I'm enjoying. And I started The Wolf at the Door which I thought was going to be very raunchy but honestly I'm 3/4th in now and I'm totally here for the murder investigation!

The mc's are 👏 not 👏 able 👏 to 👏 communicate 👏

But it's kinda cute

<@&1309963907518955560> Hi hi everyone! Just wanted to send in a reminder that the 2nd weekend Readathon of February will go on from the 7th of Feb to the 9th of Feb, all in your own timezones and lasts all day. I think it has started for a good chunk of people

It’s started for me! But I didn’t do any reading today as I had a very busy day. I’m about to end the day now with some reading.

[bold wagon]

I just started The House in the Cerulean Sea last night. I plan to finish it. I don't have my next read planned. For the winter bingo I'll need to pick something with opposite tropes and I just haven't figured out what that will be next. I have a book club meeting tonight and have been guilted into going to a super bowl party on Sunday 🤮 so I'm not sure how much time I'll really have.

[potent obsidian]

Any time is good time!

[faint gust]

i dont think i'll be participating in this period as i was having a busy weekend (my relatives' birthday at 7th and a concert at 9th! )

i also have to pack today bc i will be travelling in 3 days

[potent obsidian]

No worries! Enjoy your concert

[faint gust]

but my reading goal for the weekend is When Did You Last See Her by Lemony Snickett

[wicked crane]

IT'S TIME TO BALL

Readathon TBR

• secret book with Night
• The Iliad
• french book
• my academic readings

[quiet cipher]

finished We Have Always Lived in the Castle

going to switch to school work for a few hours, then start on The Haunting of Hill House

[potent obsidian]

I finished Headscarves and Hymens! Going to read Sarajevo 1941-1945 because I‘m in bed and my night lamp isn‘t enough to illuminate my paperback copy of Madilog

trying to finish reading the supplementary material in my edition of Shakespeare's The Tempest (it's a Norton Critical Edition)

[fathom drum]

I really want to read, but I can't decide which book

[light token]

I have never done readathon but sounds intriguing specially winter weather forecast this weekend.
Finish: I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman
Start: Martyr by Kaveh Akbar
Start: Not 100% sure but Piranesi by Suzanna Clarke

[vernal plover]

I'm making solid progress with The Scottisch Boy, but it's also making me cry

[bold wagon]

I loved Piranesi! It was one of my favorite books I read last year. I had rushed it a bit to finish it for another book and am planning to reread it this year to spend more time on it.

[swift hornet]

i finished Wicked this morning!

[distant dew]

OMG how was this one!!! i wanna rread that one badly !!

it‘s a weird book for sure, don’t expect it to be anything like the musical/movie

[distant dew]

oof not surrpised tho tbf

[quiet cipher]

Sitting down to read as much of The Haunting of Hill House as I can until I inevitably start to doze off

(This has nothing to do with the quality of the book, I am just sleepy today)

[quiet cipher]

Got halfway through Hill House without falling asleep! Having a blast with this one, will come back to it in a bit

[elfin barn]

If I can I want to read #1309131662256504974 and #1320301385333604394 today

[vernal plover]

Finished the Scottisch Boy! 6/5 stars it made me both cry and giddy. It helped me realise how much I love medieval setting, knights and all. Most fantasy I've read is more of a late medieval borders regency kinda level but this brought me back to Camelot and sir Arthur and his knights. The book is 50% jousting and 50% romance and I was here for it equally. Harry is my favorite type of main character; kinda clueless, big himbro 🫶

[vernal plover]

I hope to finish The Assassins Apprentice today (audio), just looking for an activity to do whilst listening

So far my plan today !

[elfin barn]

ooh I've just finished The Fall Risk by Abby Jimenez so I'll count that as my novella

[distant dew]

ooohhh thats on my tbr for May when im on holiday! how was it!!?

[elfin barn]

I hated it really silly plot that my work brain just couldn't explain away, random ||incest mentions||, source of conflict that came out of nowhere and was resolved super quickly

yeah, really not for me but it's not my usual kind of book

[distant dew]

oh dang LMAO im sory you hated it!! and fair enough some books like hers arent for everryone at least u gave it a good go!!

[elfin barn]

thankfully it was super short so I didn't waste too much time

[distant dew]

ooohhh you might potentially like Just for the summer by Abby Jimenez but it is quite chonkhyy but fastt pace whn i read it!

[quiet cipher]

I uuuuuh forgot it was Valentine's Day so um thank you for the reminder

[vernal plover]

Excited for the readathon!

Lets see what Im going to read

I dont think i have a novella on my tbr or something with hearts

(not me looking on Wikipedia what fits the titel 'novella')

[fervent harbor]

Yeah I just did the same, I know its supposed to be a shorter novel but I wasnt sure how short it has to be for it to count

[vernal plover]

i found up to 160 pages

oh! hearts and a novella!

[merry creek]

how short were novellas?

[faint glen]

not much of this day left for me in my timezone, but hoping to finish the intro to my copy of Shakespeare's Cymbeline, it is looooong

[elfin barn]

What about it do you think I’d like?

[distant dew]

Well it’s deffo a romance if I remember the characters were really good very fast pace the worldbuilding was like you couldn’t put it down I’d say maybe give it a go? And it does give you excitement too ready for the summer reads

And aswell I think it had different POVs with characters

[potent obsidian]

I think anything that is 100-150 pages is okay

[elfin barn]

okay so I'm still thinking about the question but I did the other challenges I'm sorry if this looks absolutely massive

[potent obsidian]

AWW I LOVE THIS

[faint glen]

and done! (with an hour to go, phew!)

[faint gust]

happy vals day!! may love follows you around

I ended up only reading and finishing "Under One Roof" by Ali Hazelwood

I read loads of weird smut books but this one topped the charts, what an awful book

[vernal plover]

In regards to the question, what is love to me? I like the Greek take on love:

"Eros, agape and filia have been used since the ancient Greeks to indicate three different types of love. Eros is greedy love, consisting of attraction and passionate desires. Agape, spiritual love, concerns affection and selfless love for your loved ones. Finally, there is filia: the love of friendship. This love includes friendly affection and is special because, unlike the previous two, it recognizes the loved one in his or her complete individuality. According to Plato (427-347 BC), philia is comparable to philosophy: they love something for its own sake (the friend and wisdom respectively). Although the three loves can be experienced separately, they are united in an ideal relationship"

Also Eros and Agape make me think about Yuri !!! on Ice and that always makes me happy

OMGG I HOPE YOU ENJOY

[faint gust]

so far so good

a wee bit slower than my liking but its a best seller, so i just gotta see it thru

[silent latch]

Oh wow that cover is really different than the one I have, makes it look like a crime thriller lol

Wait lol it is a mystery thriller. Why did I think it was fantasy?

[potent obsidian]

I would love to hear your thoughts!

[potent obsidian]

I don‘t blame you, the other cover is misleading

I thought it was a fantasy too before looking at the genre tags!

[faint gust]

Is it the one with a pink drip?

[potent obsidian]

Yes!!

[potent obsidian]

I finished my first read of the readathon with Banal Nightmares and it was horrible, I skimmed it honestly and it just did not get any better. I didn‘t DNF it but it was so bad and I lowkey don‘t really want to mark it as ‘read’

[distant dew]

Damn I’m sorry bestie your read wasn’t expected was going to be ! I hope your next read will be better!!

[vernal plover]

@potent obsidian what was your opinion on the god of the wood?

I'm so much struggling

[potent obsidian]

I liked it, IIRC but I don‘t blame you for strugglin

[fervent harbor]

I'm trying to figure out how to format my tbr as I've never done that before, could anyone help me out so I could take part in this readathon and post the message in its proper place, would greatly appreciate the help

[half hearth]

Reading: The Tainted Cup

[fervent harbor]

How's that going so far?

[half hearth]

So far so good, only one chapter in so still being introduced to the characters.

[half hearth]

Sorry I can't help you with your formatting question. I don't know how to do that fancy stuff either. I think you can just post what book(s) you are reading and then update with where you got up to and/or if you finished.

[fervent harbor]

The current book I'm reading is "Red Rising by Pierce Brown"
And I have a couple of books that I plan on reading during the last stretch of Feb and beginning of Mar
Should I post the TBR here or in the Shelfies channel
Like post the list here and the picture there? Or the list and picture there
And also also
When you read a bit more of the book, if you end up liking it and would recommend it do let me know

[quiet cipher]

alright I have some errands that need to get run later, but first The Iliad!

[potent obsidian]

the readathon has started for me!! YAY

i can‘t wait to get into the books!!!

[distant dew]

You seem more motivated this time round too ! Love that for you

[bold wagon]

How does the spell out your (user/display)name using books written by women challenge work? Like, can we pull out letters as needed from titles and rearrange them?

[elfin barn]

So if you wanted to do something like Cat, for C you could use a book that has a title starting with C or a book written by someone whose first or last name starts with C

does that make sense?

usually it's book title but you might not have a favourite that starts with that letter

[bold wagon]

Yup, makes sense. thanks!

[potent obsidian]

okay, i‘m gonna spell out my name now

j - judas goat \ gabrielle bates
a - against the loveless world \ susan abulhawa
n - normal people \ sally rooney
a - acts of desperation \ megan nolan

[elfin barn]

your luck that you could use normal people

[inner trench]

i think my username is a tad too long for a 2 day readathon

[elfin barn]

the books you pick to spell out your name don't have to be read this weekend just your favourite books ever that fit the letters of your name

[inner trench]

gasp

i did not know that

how funky!

needs editing, hold

[potent obsidian]

it‘s meant to be! 🌷

ok, i‘m starting out this readathon with https://discord.com/channels/811077227449286667/1345300729702645781

[elfin barn]

I think I'm also gonna read that tomorrow too

[potent obsidian]

YAY i can’t wait to read your thoughts

[quiet cipher]

okay, that's fun, let me see

[ivory swan]

[quiet cipher]

I actually haven't read it yet, I had trouble with the vowels so I had to choose books that were highly anticipated off my TBR

I have it on hold, should hopefully get it soon!

[ivory swan]

Ohhhhh oop sorry

[quiet cipher]

oh no worries!

[ivory swan]

I also had it from my library once but had to return it cuz it was very popular

[quiet cipher]

I really liked it. Gave it a 4/5. Very frustratingly complex characters.

[potent obsidian]

did you pick up ali smith’s season quartet series thing?

[ivory swan]

I think I’ve read one of them (autumn)! It was several years ago and I don’t quite remember what it was about hahahahah

[bold wagon]

Finished We Do Not Part by Han Kang

[void cedar]

settling into bed for some reading time

[quiet cipher]

Oooh Held is on my tbr too,let me know your thoughts!

[potent obsidian]

so slay abi

[vernal plover]

I continued the fox court series it has me in a chokehold

[potent obsidian]

i’m so proud of everyone’s readings

[distant dew]

I will able to finish another read when I get back later today!

[potent obsidian]

okay, i finished up my 4th book of the readathon with the blood of others by simone de beauvoir 🩷 3/4 of the books read are for the iwd bingo and i’m glad i read all women authors 🩷 i’m going to try & keep it up for this month. happy (late) international women’s day everyone 💗 🌷

[distant dew]

Only read 1 book during readathon I’ve been feeling slightly sick today and depressed I haven’t read much been off social today thank you for hosting though!! Can’t wait for next one when I feel more up to it

[void cedar]

Thanks for hosting and what a great idea!!

[ivory swan]

I just finished I have mixed feelings!! the writing was exquisite, very poetic. It’s written sort of like fragments across multiple generations of a wide cast of characters who are sort of connected but some of the connections are not so clear. It sort of reminds me of Orbital (Samantha Harvey). I like the recurring themes explored - especially of death/grief, war/oppression, science vs faith. But the plot/characters are all vibes hahaha

Marie Curie also makes an appearance but I’m not sure why she’s there

[quiet cipher]

haha that sounds like what I know of her writing, so that tracks!

90% prose and vibes haha

[ivory swan]

Like I’d read her poetry for sure

[quiet cipher]

her poetry is great, I have her collection All We Saw and it's one of my favorites

[ivory swan]

Adding it to my TBR

Yayyy thanks for hosting this Readathon Jana! I finished 3 books feeling very productive

[quiet cipher]

agreed, much appreciated! I read half of The Thirteenth Tale so I'm vibing

[quiet cipher]

haha I was wondering the same thing, so thanks to Amanda for asking and to jana for answering

[vernal plover]

Such fun and creative promts!!

[ivory swan]

Rainy weekend here so I’m all geared up for a cozy Readathon sesh

[haughty spindle]

I have questions.

Is the Spring Breaker role a week-long role reward or is there only one week to get it? (If it only lasts a week, is that a week from the beginning of the readathon, from when you submit your completion or a week from the end? I don't know why I'm asking so many questions I don't even particularly care about gaining the role It's my first time joining one so I just want to be sure I understand the setup)

Do I need to use your checklist when giving in my readathon or can I make my own?

I like that it's a week long event, I'm not very active on discord over the weekends.

[haughty spindle]

I want you all to know my current TBR is over 2400 books..

[ivory swan]

Planned books for this Readathon:
#1334072443270205491
#1303273732848095275
McGlue - Ottessa Moshfegh
Rental House - Weike Wang

I unfortunately don’t get the whole week off but I’ll be reading this weekend for sure!

[empty light]

help I coincidentally just read outside today 😭

[void cedar]

I might be overstepping but from what I understand the special role reward lasts for one week once the readathon is over 🙂 anyone who completes the tasks during the readathon dates will get the role!

[potent obsidian]

jnix is right, it lasts for a week once the readathon is over. so whenever we end up giving the role to people, one week from that. and you can make your own checklist graphic-wise, no changing the prompts :3

and i’m so glad you’re joining!!

[potent obsidian]

i can’t wait for this readathon to start ahhh

[vernal plover]

same!!

[potent obsidian]

do you have your reads planned out yet my love :3

[vernal plover]

I had some books to read planned but they do not fit the prompts so I might have to reshuffle

I have a physical book laying around with plants on the cover, so that one would fit 2 prompts

Looking at my tbr I see Blood Over Bright Haven" by M.L. Wang, that has a big circle on the cover

and my irl bf gave it 5 stars so.....

might read that for pie day!

☐ read a physical book: "Nature of Our Cities" By Nadine Galle (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/114706477-de-natuur-van-onze-steden)
☐ describe your ideal vacation (where, who with)
☐ read outside & take a photo!

[haughty spindle]

I'm going to have to go to a physical store to get a book because the only ones lying around is S and House of Leaves and I doubt I'd be able to finish either in a single week

[potent obsidian]

awww okay! i‘m sorry

[haughty spindle]

ah it's not so bad! Supporting the economy and all that!

[potent obsidian]

i love the way you think

[elfin barn]

I have some holds to pick up from the library so I'll read one of those for pi day and then the rest will likely be BRs

[modest lake]

Hey ! I have a question !! I would like to participate, it looks really fun, but I don't think I will be able to finish the books I will start tomorrow for the 21th...Is that an issue ?

[potent obsidian]

no, that won’t be an issue!

keep in mind though that for the prompts to be counted as finished & for you to be eligible for the role the books you read must be finished by the 21st, but for this readathon, it’s okay to use one book for more than one prompt 💗

[modest lake]

Thanks !! 🙂

[potent obsidian]

i’m so glad you’ll be joining btw!! 💗 💗

[modest lake]

Hehe me too ! I can't wait for tomorrow to come ~

[inner trench]

i just realised theres a role

im here

[potent obsidian]

yessssss it‘s cutesy

[inner trench]

i need the spring role

oh like a spring roll

yes i need it

https://tenor.com/view/cat-black-cat-car-look-silly-gif-9799573836772877908

[potent obsidian]

it‘s more spring breaky and less springy if this makes sense lols

[inner trench]

it does make sense

[inner trench]

planning my lil tbr
really pushing it with one book but i want to read more of my physical tbr so.. i hope jana forgives me gave myself a couple of options for the one specific prompt just incase

☐ read for 3hrs 14m

[vernal plover]

Im going to copy this a little kauli, if you dont mind ❤️

[inner trench]

go for it

[potent obsidian]

if nobody ends up using my checklist graphic i might cry /hj

[inner trench]

i'm planning on using it once its all complete :-)

so i can send in my pretty lil checklist

mine is just for my planning

[potent obsidian]

YAYYY

https://tenor.com/view/yay-kitty-cat-happy-excited-gif-20777520

[vernal plover]

yes me too!!!

[distant dew]

Will post my readathon schedule when I’m home

[hollow acorn]

i‘m excited to join as well
rejoined just because of this actually

[distant dew]

Omg rin!!! Hii welcome back!!

[hollow acorn]

thank you

[distant dew]

noticed you were gone for a while hope your doing okay

[hollow acorn]

thank you i am! just focused a bit more on irl again to make me stable again

[inner trench]

[distant dew]

Aww I get it personal things comes first importantly ! Glad to see you back doing okay tho!

[potent obsidian]

i love you, welcome back

[elfin barn]

I'll use the checklist graphic I'll probably send it once I've done everything but I'll definitely use it

[haughty spindle]

How are the files? Is it a singular file, or is it like 20 files for each chapter?
Or is that more of an depending-on-the-publisher thing?

[elfin barn]

This is an example but you can have either.

[haughty spindle]

that's great, thank youabi!

[haughty spindle]

😅 I'm tired, I saw you talk about libro.fm in books and I was going to ask about it, and apparently when I came back to discord I saw your name and instantly asked and didn't see this was the wrong channel entirely. Thanks for still understanding me haha

(also I'm sorry jana)

[potent obsidian]

no worries, I was confused about what you were speaking about but I figured it was something else. you’re all good 💗

about 4 more hours until this readathon starts for me, I’m genuinely so pumped

[inner trench]

11 hours for me

[potent obsidian]

I don’t think I’d be able to contain my excitement

I don’t know why I’m so excited this time around either

[vernal plover]

I get it, cause its awsome!

[potent obsidian]

I’m going to kiss you

[silent latch]

Hey I’m still a little confused and just want to make sure I’ve got this right. To get the role we have to pick one of the things from the pinned list and then also complete the checklist in the picture?

[potent obsidian]

yep! so if you complete one prompt from the pinned list you complete the pi day prompt on the checklist, if this makes sense?

[silent latch]

Ohhhh gotcha ok that makes sense!

[potent obsidian]

let me know if you have any other questions :3

I tried to explain it as best as I could in the pins but I confused myself too at one point and had to rewrite everything

[silent latch]

No, no worries. You did a great job! I love the pi day tie in

[potent obsidian]

the credit for that goes to Abi and Spicy

[silent latch]

Ah yes, the math nerds (affectionate)

[steady delta]

Oh shit waddup

I'm joining

I've been neglecting this cool af event for too long

[potent obsidian]

omg yay!! 💗 💗

[inner trench]

will a book count for this readathon if i start it today but finish it tomorrow (when the readathon starts for me)?

or do i need to wait

[silent latch]

I think you have to wait if you want it to count for the readathon

[trail skiff]

I think you have to
wait if you want it to count
for the readathon

- tink

[silent latch]

Here

Oh wait, it doesn’t say you can’t start the book early hmmm

[distant dew]

hoping to finish off my next read im starting it today so im fresh for new tbr tomorrow

[potent obsidian]

I usually start it during the readathon time frame :3

[quiet cipher]

oooh me too!

[quiet cipher]

yusss the Cult of the Readathon is growing

[potent obsidian]

I’m hoping it keeps on growing, I do have loads of fun planning stuff out for you guys

it’s starting in 33 minutes for me I’m so excited

[quiet cipher]

I still have almost 12 hours, but that's okay, time to power through school and contract work to make time for reading

[haughty spindle]

Outside of maybe cleaning my TBR, I wont start mine officially until monday tbh.

I don't want to lock in any of the books before Ive gone to the bookstore and picked out a physical book. Maybe I'll find one with flowers on it!

[potent obsidian]

OMG OMG READATHON’S HERE FOR MEEEE

٩(^ᗜ^ )و ´-

[wicked crane]

AHHHHH

OKAY

I will prepare my math questions

[silent latch]

Y’all really staying up til midnight to start reading?

[steady delta]

Yes

I have no idea where to start though

[potent obsidian]

I’m gonna get the spring cleaning prompt out of the way first, I’m most excited for that :3

I’m so happy more of you are joining too

◝(˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶) ◜♡

[steady delta]

I've already started that! I'm gonna continue tomorrow - it's been my ongoing goal so neatening up my physical TBR is the move. I don't use my online trackers for that stuff so photos it shall be

[silent latch]

Stay up til midnight and eat pie

I think if you’re going to do that one it should be the whole pie and you have to send pictures

[wicked crane]

I'M READY

hello readathoners!

HAPPY PI(E) DAY 🥧 !!!!!!
Today is every mathematicians' (and pie enthusiasts') favourite day!
and I have successfully convinced the staff to celebrate this glorious day

Why? Because 3, 1, and 4 are the three most significant figures of π, 3.14, in its decimal representation!

I have three (optional) mathy riddles that may be fun for you all to try -- don't worry, you don't need to have a degree in math to answer these!

1️⃣ Topics: Discrete mathematics, counting

OBC's magical librarian, Lemondrop, appears at your doorstep at 12 o'clock midnight, carrying a mysterious sack of books. Lemondrop has a riddle for you, and if you answer correctly, you will be rewarded with a book from her sack.

She asks you the following:
"I have 20 books in my sack. 10 have red covers, and 10 have black covers. Pulling out books at random, without looking in the bag, what is the minimum number of books you must pull out to ensure that you have taken out at least 2 red books?"

2️⃣ Topic: Mathematical/formal logic, truth-values

Jana is reading the book of the month with manouk, jnix, Vaude, and spicy at a coffee shop. Jana leaves her copy on the table and goes to order a yummy matcha latte! She later returns to the table with her drink and discovers that someone has taken her book. She questions all 4 staff members individually and received the following responses. Only one person is telling the truth, and everyone else is lying:

manouk: “Vaude did it.”
Vaude: “manouk is lying.”
spicy: “manouk did it.”
jnix: “It wasn’t me.”

Who stole Jana's book?

3️⃣ Topic: Elementary number theory

Ayesha, Abi, Cas, and Alex have a pile of books that they are trying to split evenly between the 4 of them.

Ayesha disperses all the books evenly between eachother, but there are 3 extra books left over.

Ayesha's mom calls her and asks her to come home. Ayesha does not take any books with her.

Abi, Cas, and Alex try to evenly split the pile of books between them, but there are 2 extra books left over.

Abi and Alex convince Cas that they can get all the books on Cas' kindle. Cas goes home empty handed.

Abi and Alex are left, and evenly split the pile between them, but there is one book left over!

How many books in total are in the pile?

Hint: ||

• Grouping the books into 4 piles has a remainder of 3
• Grouping the books into 3 piles has a remainder of 2
• Grouping the books into 2 piles has a remainder of 1||

Good luck! Feel free to ask for help, hints, or to have me check your answer!

Please use spoiler bars when answering to allow others to continue guessing!

For those of you who dislike math, here are some fun facts

• Pi has been studied by the human race for almost 4,000 years!
• "Pi Day” is celebrated on March 14 (which was chosen because it resembles 3.14). The official celebration begins at 1:59 p.m., to make an appropriate 3.14159 when combined with the date
• If you add an "e" to pi, it becomes delicious

[wicked crane]

is this ok jana

[distant dew]

Excited to see your progress on the readathon

[potent obsidian]

OF COURSE THANK YOUUU

you angel

jesus

[silent latch]

[potent obsidian]

ok, I have two lists I want to clean up, my tbr-tbr and my dublin literary awards tbr. gonna work on my tbr-tbr first.

[silent latch]

That’s the toughest one. I don’t want to clean my tbr

[potent obsidian]

HAHA I know it can be painful, but one book is enough to complete the prompt :3 so no worries

[steady delta]

I might do that anyway

Also Spicy that is the coolest shit I've ever seen

Your love of math makes my heart big

[distant dew]

spicy the queen of maths

[potent obsidian]

okay, not too bad. I do clean out my tbr often so these books I like really wanna read :3

my dublin lit award tbr list now

I‘m lowkey aiming to get it less than 10

[silent latch]

Can I clean out my tbr by reading a book off of my tbr?

[potent obsidian]

Hell yes

[distant dew]

ive added an extra book to the readathon bit optimistic about this schedule lool whoops

Love to see the organization tbh, it's really nice.
I'm gonna be going for a moodread kinda vibe, I need to look for a book with flowers though.

[distant dew]

love the moodrread vibe tho!!!

quickest way to get rid of a book of ur tbr for sure

hoping to complete all these before end date

[steady delta]

I'm definitely going to be reading To The Lighthouse, Pale Fire and Record of A Spaceborn Few because I need to finish them off for BRs

[potent obsidian]

ooohhhh this is great LOL

okay spring cleaning prompt done :3

[haughty spindle]

nobody told me there woul dbe math

[potent obsidian]

ahahahaha it‘s not compulsory, don‘t worry :3

[wicked crane]

If you answer it i will be very happy and give you a kiss

[trail skiff]

If you answer it
i will be very happy
and give you a kiss

- spicy ♡

[silent latch]

Can I answer in a silly fashion?

[wicked crane]

Yes!

[haughty spindle]

I just got done lowering my TBR by 300 books..

[potent obsidian]

good for you /gen

[silent latch]

Red and black books ||2 and then give up||
Who donnit ||no one, Jana left it in the bathroom, she’s very forgetful||
How many books ||too many books and also not enough ||

[potent obsidian]

this is lowkey something I would do

like genuinely

[silent latch]

||Jana just becoming the Javert of books suddenly||

[potent obsidian]

okay, I actually really want to answer the math questions but my brain is farting

[wicked crane]

Start with number one, it's the easiest
Think of ||the worst case scenario||, the answer lies there

[steady delta]

https://tenor.com/view/javert-captain-gif-7897511

||Jana from the bathroom||

Oh! I forgot, I'm reading some chunky books rn, is it fine to carry on with them for the readathon or do I need to start fresh

[potent obsidian]

OHHH

[wicked crane]

For number two, a truth value is assigning a sentence to be True or False!

(A truth value is literally just "True" or "False")

So just see which sentences work out together as true or false

[potent obsidian]

magical librarian: ||because spicy said worst case scenario, I‘m going for 10 books that you need to pull out ||
jana‘s missing book: ||jnix, because her statement is the only one that is negative? (with the word wasn‘t)||
aaca and their books: ||IS THE ANSWER 11||

OMGGG

[void cedar]

Ohh im interested in this are they all Irish authors?

[potent obsidian]

no I don‘t think so

[void cedar]

RIP, I’ll check them all about anyway

[potent obsidian]

let me know if anything catches your eye!! I lowkey want to do a buddy read of some of them

[wicked crane]

1️⃣ ❌
2️⃣ ✅ but incorrect reasoning
3️⃣ ✅

[inner trench]

why did i see the word math

[potent obsidian]

||can I ask you why jnix took my book is it because she hates me||

[wicked crane]

Give me a few minutes to write it out!

[potent obsidian]

It‘s pi-day too, so we wanted to celebrate with a bit of math! As a math hater, spicy‘s questions are actually really fun to do, I didn‘t feel like tearing out my hair /gen /pos

[wicked crane]

@void cedar you don't hate Jana right /lh

[potent obsidian]

I think she does / j

[void cedar]

OF COURSE NOT

[potent obsidian]

https://tenor.com/view/pillow-laying-in-bed-gif-11442568316444398621

also, my ideal vacation is in Sarajevo or Kyoto. in Sarajevo I would visit loads of museums and just check out a lot of historical stuff, and get some books as I really like Bosnian literature. in Kyoto, I‘d go to the Arashimaya bamboo forest again, and just spend a few days chilling and walking around, visiting temples and other historic sites I‘d be with anyone who wants to be with me maybe with @inner trench

[inner trench]

gasp that sounds wonderful

oh i love museums!!!!

[potent obsidian]

we can eat sushi together :3

[inner trench]

i’ve never tried sushi

i would try sushi for you 🙇‍♀️

[potent obsidian]

YAYYYY

https://tenor.com/view/kawaii-cats-nuzzle-hearts-mochi-mochi-peach-cat-gif-27120828

[wicked crane]

Answer for question 2
||manouk is lying, so Vaude did not do it.
Vaude is telling the truth, enforcing that Vaude didn't do it.
spicy is lying, so manouk also didn't do it
jnix is lying: “It wasn’t me.” she says, so jnix did it

jnix is the cookie thief AND A LIAR

i.e. there are 4 statements, and only one can be correct. If any other statement other than Vaude's is correct, there would be contradictions which end up with multiple statements being correct. You can think of it as a rendition of "two truths one lie", where in this case there is one truth, three lies.||

[potent obsidian]

oooooooooo

omg okay that‘s smart

You got all of them correct! Amazing work on Q3 as well!!! You are quadruple correct

Damn we got some hella mathematicians in obc

[quiet cipher]

Readathon has begun! Starting Catch-22 for my book with a number in the title

[distant dew]

Readathon officially started for me let’s goo! Finishing off this read then can start masters salt

[wicked crane]

My readathon starts in 8 mins! I'm not going to make a TBR this time, I might be too busy to get everything done so I don't want to disappoint future spicy but I will start off with the BOTM!

[distant dew]

You can do it spicy!

[raven nacelle]

Oh, I am sorry manouk!!

And: I should not try to solve anything at midnight, completely read over the "3 lies, 1 truth" thing:D

[inner trench]

i’m not going to be able to use my checklist am i

she has disappeared into the void of messages

i’ll use it in my personal server

[potent obsidian]

ahahaha, i send my readathon tbrs to my personal server too

[wicked crane]

It was my fault! I noticed recently that I left out the information about truth and lies! I added it in awhile after you tried to answer I'm sorry

[raven nacelle]

Ohhh I see. But still, I was so tired when I tried to answer. But my brain loves math riddles so I couldnt wait:D

And also, books I want to read:
Finish Our Share of Night (adults, join my br if you want to btw!!:D); and #1345300729702645781 & #1347476989375938571

And I want to take a trip to the bookstore to check out if they will get Sunrise on the Reaping next week. Combined with a spring walk outside :) and eat cake on my partners' birthday. Not really pie, but still.

And I once heard about "Mathematics for Human Flourishing" which has been on my tbr ever since but I never got to it.

[distant dew]

glad imnot the only one do this haha ! i keep track of everything in my own place so handy

[potent obsidian]

it’s so cute seeing how something I hate (math) can bring together people and make them happy

also, I spun a wheel last night before sleeping, and my first book of the readathon is beyond the door of no return by david diop.

[raven nacelle]

I have always loved math somehow:D
As a child I "translated" numbers from decimal to binary to hexadecimal and was so fascinated by the fact that the decimal system isnt the only one we can use for numbers. Or trying to calculate as many prime numbers as I could. I was a weird 5 year old.:D

[wicked crane]

WOW

I did not even know about hexadecimal or primes when I was a child

Pauline future mathematician fr

[raven nacelle]

My father enjoyed teaching me weird stuff haha he studied in a similar field:D

[distant dew]

My cosy morning before work already 10% in this book

[wicked crane]

Cute!!! The mug too 👀

[distant dew]

Hehehehe early birthday gift

[wicked crane]

I'm going to get into bed and start on the BOTM hoping to get a good chunk of pages through before I fall asleep

[distant dew]

You got thisssss! I still not read botm yet either woopsies

[tender citrus]

Debating joining the readathon… might just set a 24hr TIMER**

[potent obsidian]

go for it!

[tender citrus]

Cause I’m still too ill to work so might as well

[potent obsidian]

i hope you feel better soon, i‘m sorry you‘re ill.

[tender citrus]

Haha thankyou its nothing major just a cough

I think I will try and finish:

• Both Flesh & Not by DFW
• Humble Pi by Matt Parker
  And then pick some stuff off my shelf because I can’t remember what I’ve got on there tbh (maybe catch-22? Not sure)

[potent obsidian]

@boreal silo

[inner trench]

jaaaaannnaaaa

[potent obsidian]

yes kauli my love bug?

[inner trench]

thank you for hosting all the readathons

[potent obsidian]

aww no worries, I‘m very glad to

[hollow acorn]

jana my love is it also okay to clear out my physical TBR

[potent obsidian]

of course!! I forgot to mention that if you don’t have a tbr on a bookish platform, a physical one is fine too

[hollow acorn]

because it is technically linked to my tech one but doing it the other way would feel weird

[potent obsidian]

I get it!!

[hollow acorn]

okay thank you!!

[distant dew]

For the second prompt will my cover of this be okay for the checklist as it has got a plant pot on the cover or not really?

Double checking before adding it on

[steady delta]

[potent obsidian]

eh no I wouldn’t really count it, as it’s not flowers

[distant dew]

thats fine wanted to check before adding it on checklist ! thank you love <33

will find something elsee for that prompt

[potent obsidian]

YAY

I wanna get pie too but it’s not a big thing here, I don’t know where to get it from

[tender citrus]

I feel like Pie isn’t really a thing here. It is but idk not that common. Crumble tends to be the pick

[modest lake]

My readathon started !! I will read ' The Vegetarian ' for the flowers on the cover, to clean my TBR, as a physical book ( so many birds with one stone -) and...because I'm on a trip and that's the only book I haven't finished 😉

Oh and I want to try and finish 'The painted Veil' ! Let's see how it goes ~

[potent obsidian]

yay!!!

[distant dew]

Never read such a SlowBurn of a book for a while took me 3 hours to reach 100 pgs my lord

I’m usually faster reader than this

[potent obsidian]

awww I’m sorry

my book’s kind of kicking me in the butt as well

[distant dew]

Dang I hope your book gets somewhat more interesting

I’m stil aiming to finish mine off get it marked off my tbr

[trail skiff]

I’m stil aiming to
finish mine off get it marked
off my tbr

- .𖥔 ݁ ˖🌿 Night🌿.𖥔 ݁ ˖

[potent obsidian]

I hope the same for you!!

[tender citrus]

I read an essay from Both Flesh and Not then switched over to humble pi

Idk what page I’m on the page numbers are backwards

89? i think

[hollow acorn]

I work a lot today so I can‘t really do a lot here, so I hope it‘s okay I did the read 3.14 hours prompt and shortened it to 31.4 minutes
I really wanted to participate but I unfortunately don‘t have more time today in particular

I did finish my book Strange Pictures by Uketsu tho in that time because otherwise I probably wouldn‘t have read at all today so I appreciate it

[inner trench]

when i first read the prompt i thought it said 31 hours and 4 minutes

[hollow acorn]

LMAOOOO

bend time at your will for jana‘s readathon.

[inner trench]

for jana

[potent obsidian]

oh, you can use the entirety of the readathon for the pi prompts! (so, you don’t have to read for 3 hours & 14 minutes all in one day, if this makes sense)

you can read for 3 hours & 14 minutes over the whole week

[inner trench]

28 minutes per day

well a little lower but

rounding

[hollow acorn]

oh!!!!!! that changes everything then
