As we have done previously, the better to keep track of all numbers, we encourage you to edit your first post in the discussion, so each of us has only one message and not 2000 as before!!!!
*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.
If you respond 'Yes” to the event invitation , please don't forget to list totals in August Read-a-thon thread in here. Don't forget to post your totals of daily or full week end tally on the thread.
