As usual, I'll give everyone a few days to get their final pages, books and audiobooks tallied up before I calculate our overall total. If you haven't submitted your figures yet, there's still plenty of time to do so.
Thank you all for taking part, cheering each other on, and making the readathon such a fun and supportive experience. I can't wait to see what our final numbers look like!
I'll be back soon with the grand total. 📖✨
1364 pages.thank you for hosting. I can’t wait for June and the extended readathons.
Mod
Together, we achieved an incredible 17,764 pages read throughout the week! 📖✨
It's always wonderful to see members sharing updates, discovering new books, and making time for reading amidst busy lives. Your enthusiasm and support are what make these readathons so special.
Congratulations to everyone who took part, and thank you for helping us reach such an amazing total. We hope you enjoyed the challenge and found some new favourites along the way.
We're already looking ahead to our next readathon, which will take place during the last full week of June, from Monday 22nd June to Sunday 28th June. We hope you'll join us for another week of reading fun!
Until then, happy reading! ❤️📚
I really look forward to the readathons. Thank you Alannah.

In the May 2026 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 about having fun doing what you would normally be doing anyway.
Once the May 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 by 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 on Goodreads for your total. Calculate by percentage to work out your page number read.
*** For audio listeners, check 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. You can also use AI chat bots, if you feel comfortable, to help calculate your estimated pages. Don’t forget to post your totals—daily or full month’s tally—on the thread.
