Amanda Wow! Great job everyone! Can't wait to do this again even though I think I added more books to my TBR shelf than I toppled!

Maria (aminowrimo) | 463 comments Wow, these statistics are mind-boggling! Congratulations, Debra! It was really close.

This was without a doubt the awesomest toppler ever.


message 9: by Debra (new)

Debra (debra_t) | 6542 comments Thanks, Maria. Way to go, you! And yep, I agree - the awesomest!

Maria (aminowrimo) | 463 comments We should capitalize that. THE AWESOMEST.

Can't wait to see what happens in August and October. Poor Judy, having to come up with something bigger. XD

Maria (aminowrimo) | 463 comments Oh goodie...

There's no theme for August, right?

Oh, I didn't say that. :-)"


And there's a whole month to keep you guessing! Heheheh!


message 14: by jaxnsmom (new)

jaxnsmom | 8341 comments Oh no! August is going to be tough enough, having to read all of our Orange books for the RAINBOW. Please have pity on us (on knees with hands clasped and pleading look in eyes). Oh please - we promise we'll do whatever you want in the October Toppler :~)


message 15: by Maria (new)

Maria (aminowrimo) | 463 comments I can't wait for October... nonfiction!


message 16: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 59907 comments Have I missed something? What's the non-fiction thing for August?

Maria (aminowrimo) | 463 comments ACK! I was going to do something nuts.

Doing it now, hopefully finding out the answer to the question "Would it topple?" later...

i'm taking the average page thickness as being 0.0035 inches. Counting covers as negligible...

The Topplers read 25,368 pages (unfortunately very late and have no time to figure out the Tipplers, because there's no one post with all the totals). Their stack would reach 88.788 inches high, or 7.4 feet.

I'm not sure if that would topple, but 7.4 feet is an accomplishment!

Nothing poor judy about it. I..."


Oh does that make me the evil assistant? Excellent - mwhahahahah ;-)

Non-fiction is the October Toppler theme. I think August is the orange books."


Don't mind me. I was just having a funky five minutes.


message 20: by Maria (new)

Maria (aminowrimo) | 463 comments Ouch. I've been taking way more than my share with those funky five! (WAAAY more)

Wish I had time to take the Tipplers' pages as well, but it'll have to wait a bit longer. And I wish I could figure out cover thickness!


message 21: by Maria (new)

Maria (aminowrimo) | 463 comments ... now I'm excited.


message 22: by Lara (new)

Lara | 1426 comments Judy, that was a great summing up. As a rookie, I joined on a whim and definitely had a lot of fun. I plan to join in again. Of course, with so many changes going on I hope I'm not being optimistic, but I am looking forward to the August toppler as well.
