All About Books discussion

From Friday 26 July 2019 at 12.01am (in your local time zone) you start keeping track of how many pages you read until Sunday 28 July 2019 at 11.59pm. In the July 2019 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 throughout the week to reach the goal of 10,000 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:) Once the July Read-a-thon thread is posted, make sure to put your name on the thread if you would like to be included. If you simply stumble onto the thread, then please, join in!

*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. Don't forget to post your totals of daily or full weekend tally on the thread.

Yes! Thanks for hosting, Alannah!!

Friday = 32pg + 60pg == 92pages

Finished up the book The Word for World is Forest by Ursula K. Le Guin, the 5th Hainish book. I liked it, but after reading Hainish 1-3, and Le Guin's Western Shore books before that... I am really really tired of war and slavery.

And started a Pern novel, Dragon's Code. This is Gigi McCaffrey's first book, and I was very excited and very worried about reading this! I needn't have worried, it's going well. :)

Saturday = 144 pages

Dragon's Code Oh! I couldn't put it down! And a Hatching always makes me cry. :)

Sunday = 43 pages

Dragon's Code Finished! And makes me want to re-read the first 4 or 5 Pern books. :)
