I received from Lemmy today - Thanks!!

This RAT has Wrapped!   *tosses confetti*  Congratulations everyone who participated!  It was lovely hosting you (even if I went awol not and then)  

I've updated the prize thread.  I'm going to hold off announcing any other prizes until Azuki picks her prize.  (Also mine so she has a better choice spread) Then we will wrap up with the end of RAT awards.

In the meantime, if you were doing the bingo card please post or email it to me.. and also put what you can/want to into the spreadsheet.  (see first post)

Thank you everyone!!

OMG have I been holding up things? 
As I don't do ebooks, may I have Lemmy's printed wishlist book please? 
As long as it doesn't get too pricey to mail it. I think you probably can find some places like Betterworld to ship them, but knowing how royally expensive your postal service is, I don't want you to waste your money. 

Thanks Kiri for such a fun readathon. I love being able to connect with you guys and hear what's going on in life, even as for some of you we have been in touch on IG already. 

I did the Dewey's 24 hr readathon last weekend so I had read quite a few books, really happy to be able to finish off a few books I've started earlier, and checked off a few items from my reading challenges. Still have quite a few from BookRiot's challenge, as they ask for lots of books out of my normal reading range. 

I read the first book of the Beatrix Potter cozy series and love it. Also read In Trouble Again, an entertaining and educational travelog about Venezuelan Amazon. 

Azuki - not holding things up at all!  Just doing my best to not grab all the pretties.    *quietly adds more titles to her "find these list" and eventually the TBR pile*

I've updated the prize list post to reflect your choice. =)  (and cleaned it up a bit..hopefully less confusing now)

and thank you.. I'm glad everyone enjoyed themselves.   If people want I'll hold a winter RAT maybe in January, once the holidays and etc are over and we are all over the holiday rush..   Although I have to admit a RAT (short!) created around the Jólabókaflóðið (Book Flood in Iceland) has been rattling about in my head 26 Dec to 5(ish) Jan.  but that may be too soon. =)

Print book to Azuki, I’m on it! I should be able to get something out soon, no worries about price of mailing 

I’ll be back later on today with the prizes I received from Kiri and my final update. I’ll also look at my bingo card and add my books to the spreadsheet.

I’ll have to do the book posting and update Wednesday evening, could not come back earlier. See you all then.

No worries.. I'm out here playing catch-up with RL myself. =)  

Here are the prizes Kiri sent me for weeks #8 and #12 - Thank you very much! 

For Week #8:
 

Immigrant. Socialite. Magician.
Jordan Baker grows up in the most rarefied circles of 1920s American society - she has money, education, a killer golf handicap, and invitations to some of the most exclusive parties of the Jazz Age. She’s also queer, Asian, adopted, and treated as an exotic attraction by her peers, while the most important doors remain closed to her.
But the world is full of wonders: infernal pacts and dazzling illusions, lost ghosts and elemental mysteries. In all paper is fire, and Jordan can burn the cut paper heart out of a man. She just has to learn how.
Nghi Vo’s debut novel The Chosen and the Beautiful reinvents this classic of the American canon as a coming-of-age story full of magic, mystery, and glittering excess, and introduces a major new literary voice.

For Week #12:


It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the tenth annual Hunger Games. In the Capital, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games. The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able to out-charm, outwit, and outmaneuver his fellow students to mentor the winning tribute.
The odds are against him. He's been given the humiliating assignment of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined -- every choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favor or failure, triumph or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death. Outside the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute... and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire to survive no matter what it takes.
