From Friday April 22nd at 12.01am (in your local time zone), you start keeping track of how many pages you read until Sunday April 24th at 11.59pm. In the April Read-a-thon thread you will post your progress, telling everyone what you're reading and how many pages. Then all readers' totals will be tallied on the Monday to reach the goal of 20,000 pages. This is a relaxed read-a-thon; it doesn't matter if you read 20 pages or 100, it also doesn't matter if we reach our goal, it's just having fun doing what you would normally be doing anyway:)

As with the last read-a-thon, better to keep track of all numbers, we will change the first post we write in the discussion, so each of us has only one and not 2000 as before!!!!

*An easy way to keep track is using the Currently Reading feature on Goodreads, entering your page number at the end of each day.

**For those who read by eReader, take the page number which shows for paperback/hardcover here on Goodreads for your total.Calculate by percentage to work out your page number read.

***For audio listeners, check out how many pages the book has on Goodreads, then divide that number by how many CDs or hours it is to give you an idea of pages per time.

If you respond 'Yes” to the event invitation , please don't forget to list totals in the April Read-a-thon thread in Bookchat. Don't forget to post your totals of daily or full week end tally on the thread.
