I'm pleased you've joined. Welcome!

What a fantastic couple of weeks it's been! I hope you've all enjoyed challenging yourselves, discovering new books, making progress with your TBRs and, most importantly, enjoying your reading!
Today is your final opportunity to squeeze in those last few chapters, finish another book or simply see how many more pages you can manage before midnight! Whether you've read hundreds of pages, finished several books or managed to find a little more time for reading than usual, every page counts and you should be proud of what you've achieved!
I read some great books during this Readathon!Run for the Hills, 244 pgs.
Matcha on Monday, 208 pgs.
Strange Sally Diamond, 384 pgs.
Thank You for Remembering: A Novel, 336 pgs.
The Museum of Second Chances, 357 pgs.
TOTAL: 1529 pgs.
Mod
I've really enjoyed the readathon and hope it's given everyone a little extra motivation to pick up their books!
I'll be leaving the thread open for a few more days to give everyone a chance to update their progress and share their final totals.
Thank you again for taking part and making the readathon so enjoyable. Hopefully we'll see you all again for the next one!

Whether you read one book, several books, or simply cheered others on, every page contributed to this fantastic community achievement.
The good news is that we still have two more readathons to enjoy in 2026, with the next one beginning on 23 November. We'd love to see as many members as possible taking part, whether you're a regular participant or thinking of joining for the first time.
Let's see if we can beat our October total and finish the year with another amazing result. Happy reading, and we hope you'll join us for the next challenge! 📖✨

In the October 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 readathon to work towards 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 simply about enjoying reading and taking part together.
Once the October 2026 Read-a-thon thread is posted and unlocked, make sure to put your name on the thread if you would like to be included. If you simply stumble across 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 shown for the paperback or hardcover edition on Goodreads for your total. Calculate by percentage to work out how many pages you've read.
*** For audiobook listeners, check how many pages the book has on Goodreads, then divide that number by the total running time to give you an estimate of how many pages you've read. You can also use AI chatbots, if you feel comfortable, to help calculate your estimated pages. Don't forget to post your totals, whether daily or your final total for the readathon, on the thread.
