Aussie Readers discussion

It's time to mark your calendars for our next quarterly read-a-thon! It will take place Friday December 2nd at 12.01am and continue until Sunday December 4th at 11.59pm in your local time zone - 3 full days :)

We didn't quite reach our goal in the last Read-a-thon, therefore we'll make our GOAL - 30,000 pages

Don't forget our Challenge Guidelines here

Please post your interest here in this thread up until we begin the challenge - when the weekend is over the page numbers read will be tallied:)

If possible, check in at least once a day, more often if you want. Our cut off time for you to add your final totals with a NEW POST will be 12noon Monday 5th AEST:)

No worries Carolyn! I know what I wouldn't mind doing either ;) But if you do manage to read (on the plane or...) feel free to add your pages :)

Thanks Brenda :)

I'm in, but I have book club on the Sunday and will be driving to Westmead and back, so that will curb Sunday's reading quite a bit :(

My neck of the woods, Marianne :)

Hi Brenda - add me in!
I will only get a little bit read on Friday on the way into work (going out after work) and a couple of hours on the plane to NZ on Saturday but I guess it all helps :)

Wonderful :) And yes, every little helps! You'll have a wonderful time - I bet you're getting excited :)

Mainly just panicking about how much I have to get done before we go, but I'm sure I'll be looking forward to it by the end of the week!

That's normal Carolyn :) I do it each and every time! But once you sit down on the seat in the plane, you'll relax - nothing else you can do ;)

That's very true Brenda, I love that feeling of nothing more to do once you are on that seat!

Carolyn where are you visiting? My husbands folk are from Timaru south of Christchurch. The entire country is stunning and I love going there.

I'm really looking forward to the readathon too. Hurry up already Friday !!

Won't be long ;)

I would like to be involved with the challenge Brenda!

Friday - The Face Of Deception 280p
Saturday - The Sunburnt Country - 301p
Sunday - Small Great Things - 350p
Sunday - Dark Heart - 150p

Great Jenny, you're on the list!

We now have 30 participants :) That equates to 1000 pages each ;)

Pop my name down, but the weekend looks like being flat out, so I don't think I'll come anywhere near 1000 pages!
