It's time to mark our calendars for our last quarterly read-a-thon for 2019! It will take place Friday December 13th at 12.01am and continue until Sunday December 15th at 11.59pm in your local time zone - 3 full days :)

We read a fabulous 27,523 pages last quarterly Read-a-thon but because it's the busy Christmas month, let's see if we can reach 20,000 pages this time!

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 16th AEST:)

I still have challenge books to read, so even though it's going to be a busy weekend with Christmassy stuff happening I'll be reading as much as I can!
