Yay! Let's Read! Thank you for hosting, Alannah!Friday... well, first I had to work in my Reading Journal. And then I had to finish the magazine I was reading, LEX :) And then I started this new book...
The Canopy Keepers... 49 very upsetting pages, the opening scene was just ... lordy, lordy. but I kept reading, I can't put it down. Saturday... 56 pages. Not enjoying this book at all. The story is too upsetting and traumatic. I'm about 1/3 thru and will probably keep reading. The story is engaging. But I'm ready for it to be over.

In the February 2024 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, and 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 February 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.
