I am just finishing up a six book sci-fi series... and meantime I've bought several books that I'm very much looking forward to reading!!
* Too many books, not enough time! *

Judge, Wess'har Wars book 6 of 6 by Karen Traviss
Monday June16... Pages 225 to 256 == 31 pgs

Wednesday June18... to page 319 == 31 pgs
Thursday June19... to page 361 == 42 pgs
Friday June 20... to the end, page 391 == 30 pgs
Difficult ending, but I knew it would be after so many books! I kind of want to sit and think about it for a while, except like I said, there are more books to be read! So I picked up a non-plot book...

Hope in the Dark: The Untold History of People Power by Rebecca Solnit
Friday June20... 9% to 14% of 192 pages == 10 pgs
I started highlighting good quotes... and then I realized this is one of those books where you could just highlight the entire book! haha.
Saturday June21... to 26% == 23 pgs
Sunday June22... to 37% == 21 pgs
This is not a topic I have a lot of experience with, and I don't understand everything that's going on. But I'm going to stick with it!
TOTAL == 136 pages (as of Thurs)
... Oops, I forgot to update! Here's the new total...
TOTAL == 166 (Judge) + 54 (Hope) == 220 pages (completing the week)!!

In the June 2025 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 June Read-a-thon thread is posted/unlocked, 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 months' tally on the thread.
