Aussie Readers discussion

It's time to mark our calendars for our next quarterly read-a-thon for 2021. It will take place Friday September 10th at 12.01am and continue until Sunday September 12th at 11.59pm in your local time zone - 3 full days :)

We read 28,515 pages last quarterly read-a-thon, so for our September/Spring readathon we'll aim for 29,000 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 13th September AEST :)

Hi,

If it's not too late, can you please add me to the list. Uni is currently on break so I might have time to add to the tally.

I have two young kids now, so my time for reading has greatly diminished, but I might be able to sneak in some time ;)

Wow! Two children now Michelle! Congratulations! We've missed your company and especially your lovely participation in the readathon :) Welcome back!! I'll add you to the list :)

That's wonderful Michelle! Are you still living in Sydney? Stuck in lockdown....

Count me in!
