Aussie Readers discussion

It's time to mark your calendars for our next quarterly read-a-thon! It will take place Friday March 3rd at 12.01am and continue until Sunday March 5th at 11.59pm in your local time zone - 3 full days :)

We went over our goal in the last Read-a-thon with just over 32,000 pages read, so this time we'll make our GOAL - 32,500 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 6th AEST:)

Sign me up - Yay !! :)

And me :)

And me ;)

I'm in too :)

I'm in.

I'm in

I'm in!

I may not read as much as I usually do - is youngest grandson's 7th birthday weekend so a party on Saturday, then on the Sunday we are in charge of his little sister while he goes off and has a one on one session with the Meerkats at the local wildlife park.

But every page I read will be recorded :)

Awww! Sounds like a great weekend Sally :) You'll all have a wonderful time!

Me too

yes please

YES!! I'm in, too, Please!

For my US friends, we'll start on Thursday, March 2 to Sunday, March 5 @
5:01 am - 4:59 am PCT
6:01 am - 5:59 am MST
8:01 am - 7:59 am EST

I calculated it based on Sydney, NSW time (-18 hrs US)

Does this work, Brenda?

I'm already gearing up for this one and I'll definitely be contributing more than the last time. =o)

I'm in :)

I'm in. I am working on Saturday, 12 hours. So I don't know if I will be able to do some readings or to check in. But Sunday is my day off looking forward to a full day of reading.

I'll sign up too. We'll be away so it won't be a mega-reading weekend but I'm sure I can contribute something. :)
Might even see if I can take the Friday off work (I have nearly 6 weeks leave accrued!)

Count me in again - work will interfere on Friday and the Adele concert on Sunday (yippee!) but looking forward to doing my bit towards the total.

That sounds so fun, Sally! Plus you'll be basking in the glow of being a great aunt, too! =o)
