Aussie Readers discussion

It's time to mark our calendars for our last quarterly read-a-thon for 2023. It will take place Friday 8th December at 12.01am and continue until Sunday 10th December at 11.59pm in your local time zone - 3 full days :)

We read 32,497 pages last quarterly read-a-thon, so for our December/Summer readathon we'll aim for 32,500 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 11th AEST :)
