Aussie Readers discussion

Many thanks Niamh!!

It's time to mark our calendars for our last quarterly read-a-thon for 2020. It will take place Friday December 11th at 12.01am and continue until Sunday December 13th at 11.59pm in your local time zone - 3 full days :)

We read a fabulous 32,060 pages last quarterly read-a-thon, so for our December/Summer readathon, and because it's the lead up to Christmas and everyone will be busy, we'll aim for 30,000 pages.

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 14th AEST :)

I'm in! (Though like others I'm sure, I have no real expectations for myself given the busy time of year)

Great - I've got a lot of annual challenge books to finish so three days of reading will really help!

I’ll definitely be reading :)

I'm thinking we'll all be reading Janelle - it's what we do isn't it :)

Exactly, Brenda! Well said! x

Here's to hoping to read a lot more pages then my last effort!
Which shouldn't be very difficult!

Hi Owl!!!

On the list to here :)

And me!

I'm in of course:)

You're on the list girls :)

Yes, not sure how much reading I'll get through, but every page counts. Count me in :)

Sounds great! I've got a couple of hefty tomes to read next month to finish some annual challenges - Rebecca and The Goldfinch - so will be good to spend a whole long weekend reading.

Count me in. Though, as I will be helping out at a Canberra Lifeline Bookfair, will not be that much time left to read.

Count me in.

With that greeting, how can I not be in? Looking forward to a marathon attempt to finish the 2020 challenge and start the Summer challenge 😊

I'll be reading anyway, so...

I’m in 🙋‍♀️.

Enjoy! I'm out, I'm afraid, I manage about 4,000 a year - shame on me. Must do better.

I am in!

Welcome everyone - you're all on the list :)

I am in - I have work and Christmas parties, so I will not be breaking any of my records, but I will contribute a page or two ;)

On the list Deborah :)

Hello! I am in please but will set myself a nice low goal for this one as I'm likely to be a bit busy!

I'm in - Christmas party Friday afternoon so might loose quite a few reading hours to alcohol but 'tis the season!

That will be my Saturday! I will definitely be beating no page counts this time around.

Ooh I’m excited for this. We actually get a real winter here this time can’t wait to snuggle down in a fuzzy blanket and read read read!

Would love if you could toss some of your cold, soft, white stuff our way Lainey!! You're on the list :)

Count me in please

I'm in too Brenda :) I can recover from Christmas shoppers with a quiet read haha

Tracey and Natty, you're on the list :)

Happy to participate Brenda. I'm going to a function on the 13th, so probably won't get much reading done that day, but I'm happy to add to the total of pages read on the 11th and 12th.

Thanks Mary (have fun!!) and you're on the list :)

Please add me. Thanks.

You're on the list Em :)

The problem is that I always forget... I'll try to do my best to remember this time around :)
