All About Books discussion

From Friday 23rd September 2022 at 12.01 am (in your local time zone) you start keeping track of how many pages you read until Sunday 25th September at 11.59 pm. However, you can start the readathon at any time during these three days, make it as flexible as you can.

In the September 2022 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 September 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

Well done Jade!

Wow, I meant to do this and, for no good reason other than I haven't been able to do this for a couple of months, forgot. Since I stopped tracking my reading here I have no idea how many pages I read then, either.

There’s always next month Karin! 😀

@Alannah - Have I missed something - has anyone added all of these up yet?

No, nobody has. Sorry. I have been so busy, I haven't had the time to do so. Will make it a priority to get it done on my lunch break today.

Thank you for your patience everyone!
I'm pleased to say that the final total for the September 2022 Readathon is 11,276 pages

I think I will extend the October readathon to a week or two. Either, from the 21st October until the 30th or the 6th November

Thanks Alannah👍

Well done, I would be down for a 2 week extended relaxation, working retail it can be hard to plan only over a weekend.
The first week of November is half term where I am.

Well done everyone
