Alannah Clarke (alannahclarke) | 15058 comments Mod
From Friday 26 March 2021 at 12.01 am (in your local time zone) you start keeping track of how many pages you read until Sunday 28 March 2021 at 11.59 pm. However, you can start the readathon at any time during these ten day, make it as flexible as you can. In the March 2021 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 March 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.

The Ten Thousand Doors of January
Enjoyed this book so much, I didn't want to leave. I started re-reading it right away. :) I am around 30% of the 2nd read.

Saturday 27 March == 40 pages
I feel like I shouldn't mention what's going on in the book... because everything past about 30% or so is a major spoiler! :)


Sunday 28 March == 20 pages
Today I was reading the latest Audubon Magazine... a great article about Wisdom the 70+year old Albatross who was raising her 39th known chick! Wow, what a crazy family that must be!! *laughs*

Seventy Never Looked So Good: The Long, Wondrous Life of Wisdom the Albatross
