Well done everyone!!
Mod
How many days is the extended Readathon Alannah?
So sorry I missed the deadline to fill in my pages.
Mod
I was thinking between the 15th/22nd and the 31st July.
Mod
No problem Jade, it's easily done.
I would love to do the extended, I find it so much easier to read over the weeknights than weekends.
Mod
I'm the same Jade, think I will get it started for Monday and close this thread.

In the June 2022 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, 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.
