Aussie Readers discussion

It's time to mark your calendars for our next quarterly read-a-thon! It will take place Friday June 22nd at 12.01am and continue until Sunday June 24th at 11.59pm in your local time zone - 3 full days :)

We read 21,608 pages last quarterly Read-a-thon so let's see if we can KNOCK THAT FIGURE OUT OF THE PARK!

Don't forget our Challenge Guidelines here

Please post your interest here in this thread up until we begin the challenge - when the weekend is over the page numbers read will be tallied:)

If possible, check in at least once a day, more often if you want. Our cut off time for you to add your final totals with a NEW POST will be Monday 25th AEST:)

Friday: 204 pages The Everlasting Sunday by Robert Lukins

Saturday: 110 pages 365 Days of Happiness: Because Happiness Is a Piece of Cake! by Jacqueline Pirtle

Sunday: 240 pages 365 Days of Happiness: Because Happiness Is a Piece of Cake!

Yes you're first Veronica :) I only just posted it though...

Count me in I can't wait

Me too!

I am in! I marked it in my diary when Brenda first dropped us the date ;)

i would love to do this as well .

I am in, but have a function on 23rd that will lessen total. But every little bit counts.

Im in :)

I'm in, and ditto what Noelene said. I'm going to Letters To Lindy on the Saturday arvo, so I won't be reading then. But I'll catch the train so I can read there and back :)

Yea! I'm looking forward to it! =o)

Welcome all :)

Count me in! I can't wait! Hoping to contribute as much as I can and get as close as I can to my own Read-a-Thon personal best. :)

I am in of course 🙂

Added to here :)

Me too please ☺

You're on the list Valerie :)

I’m in.

Add me, but I'm not sure how much I'll manage as I'm on the road a bit next weekend.

I am doing an audio book. The function is 40 minutes away, so 80 minutes all up in an audio book so that will cover a few pages if I choose correctly - might put the reader on a faster pace. :)

I would love to join in.
Just back from an overseas tour, and there was not much time for reading. It was either too busy or I was too tired. It feels good to have had a break from reading, and the readathon will be ideal to get me going again.

I'm busy on Saturday but Friday night and all day Sunday I can do. Looking forward to the readathon.

count me in

Count me in - currently have no plans for the weekend, so hopefully get a decent amount of reading in :)

Where have you travelled to Odette? I am the same when travelling although I always read when I go to bed, or try to anyway.

I did an organised 21 day tour from Berlin, through Poland, the Baltic States, Finland and finishing in St Petersburg. The days were busy and the evening meal quite late, so was ready to sleep at night. I did try to read but did not last long at all!

Sounds fantastic Odette!

Yes, it was really great. Now back to the Canberra winter!

Brrr!!

I'd love to join in 😊

You're on the list Sharon :)

Thank you 😊

Awesome trip, thanks for sharing.

I'm in too - wedding anniversary on the Friday so husband might curtail my reading on that day, but I'll do my bit to add to the tally!

i am in :)

Jane and Anna - you're both on the list :)

I'm in, too. :)

Done Patty :)

Can I join in ?

Helen

You're on the list Helen :)

I will go on the list too.. I must remember!!

You're there Suzanne :)

Don't forget everyone - midnight tomorrow (Thursday) night you can start :)

I'm going to opt out this time Brenda. I'm just not reading much while on holiday. Seems bizarre, I know but we've been so busy and l'm still reading the same book I started on the plane on Friday!

No problems Carolyn :) Enjoy your holiday!!

I’m looking forward to this readathon! Haven’t read since yesterday so I’m ready~
