oh my goodness! I haven't even shared the link anywhere yet, that means... HOLY MOLY, you have my notification bell on 🤯 You have no idea how astonished I am right now!
Thank YOU for being part of the amazing team! My captaining strategy was to remind you all constantly that you ARE amazing, and you CAN do anything you want to. 🏆
Thanks, I meant to have it up *much* earlier, and time simply ran away from me. Story of my life. Many of us are in a bunch of bookish discord servers, I can usually be found haunting the ❤Robin Hobb❤ threads.
thanks Chas, for all the energy it took, the readathon was worth it. I had a great time, but I'm super happy to be back worrying about only MY reading again.
It was a fun event and I'm happy you enjoyed yourself too Usman, I've seen you in a few discord servers now, so the event achieved the objective of hooking readers up with fellow book people. 😁
@Derri's read It Before. 😊 so many readathons! I do love them, but you are right, you can't do them all. Despite exciting ones in June I am taking a readathon break! But I love that you made awards for your team and I hope you all got through your TBR. Sounds like it was really fun 📚💜
Holy crap, you're right - I must have mistyped it into a wrong number when I put the page count into the spreadsheet I sorted all the data from (which I didn't have access to after the readathon) SORRY EMILY !!
Now I want to know which book A.R. read that was 202 pages since that sounds like my kind of book 😂. I read Thrice during the Readathon which was also on the shorter side, but still comfortably over the 200 page minimum.
OOoh, I read Thrice too! I can't actually remember which book A.R. read off the top of my head (I don't have access to the spreadsheet anymore), but Emily also read a 202 page book, and that one I DO remember - Patternmaster by Octavia E. Butler.
@@derrisreaditbefore Interesting, I'll have to check that out. I have Seasons of Albadone that I still need to read and that one is almost right at the 200 page mark as well.
Hi Karo 💟 is it book choices, a lack of motivation, or is it because the weather is improving? 'Cos apparently (I'm having to take 'sciences' word on it, because I'm unlikely to test it) going out into the sun is .. good for you?
@@derrisreaditbefore I've heard that too 🤨 I love what I'm reading, I'm just too tired to take it all in. So I keep having to reread. But In a week, I'm going on vacation so hopefully that will help create some momentum
What a fun video to celebrate a delightful time, and thanks so much for the kind shout out! You were the best team captain we could have asked for!
bless you, can't captain a rubbish team to such fabulous success unless the team is full of awesome - and guess what?! IT WAS! 😘
I can not thank you enough. That readathon saved my sanity. You will always be my Captain.
...and you're always part of my team. 🤗
Congrats to all the Stack Smasher award winners!!! 🎉👏
It was a blast, though next time I might just JOIN a team!
I just love your bubbly personality, Miss Derri. Thank you for being you.
oh my goodness! I haven't even shared the link anywhere yet, that means... HOLY MOLY, you have my notification bell on 🤯 You have no idea how astonished I am right now!
Lol I do too
Thank you for being an amazing team leader! It was such a great experience!! ❤

Thank you so much Derri for your wonderful captaining. And well done Smashers!
Thank you Liss, a captain only corrals the talent - the talent has to be there to start with - and the Smashers had it in spades 😎
Great video Derri!! Congrats to all the participants in the read-a-thon. It was such a fun time!!
Cheers Dan, it was glorious fun. Obviously the people are the key and we had the best ones!
It’s impressive how much people read this readathon! I had fun.
It really was, when Tori gave her team stats - I mean, WOW. I'm glad you had fun, we had such a fantastic team 🤗
This was such a fun video! Thanks for being such a lovely team captain, Derri! Missing the Stack Smashers already ❤

So glad to see you Derri! And with an award show no less. 😃

This was quite a fun Readathon! Glad I got to be a part of it!

This was great!! Love the award names. 😂
thanks Penny, I wanted to show the lighthearted spirit we managed to carry through the whole month.
Derri I love this - totally missed this readathon as I had 3 going on in April - love these awards 🎉🏆💜📚
No worries Chattie, I could see you were hectically busy, I didn't take it personally 😁 There's readathons aplenty to go around.
@Derri's read It Before. 😊 so many readathons! I do love them, but you are right, you can't do them all. Despite exciting ones in June I am taking a readathon break! But I love that you made awards for your team and I hope you all got through your TBR. Sounds like it was really fun 📚💜
Ben is a machine 🤣 im impressed with everyone reading so much! If only I had tried for the smarty pants award 😜
😂 If you'd ended up with the Smarty-Pants award, I'd have had to nix the Limbo one - and THAT's funnier.
Had so much fun on the team :)
HOORAY! That was always the main objective, reading can be a lonely hobby and it's nice to play in a team now and then. 🥰
Yay Stack Smashers!
indeed! Furies unite!
AR and I tied- Patternmaster was 202 pages! Lol
Holy crap, you're right - I must have mistyped it into a wrong number when I put the page count into the spreadsheet I sorted all the data from (which I didn't have access to after the readathon)
SORRY EMILY !!
Team Stack Smashers was the best!!
Yes. It really was! See, YOU KNOW 😉
@@derrisreaditbefore couldn't have done it without the best captain ever

My may reading isn't going quite as well as April. Or at least not as fast 😂
