What to do. : From Friday June 22nd 2018 00:00am (in your local time zone), keep a track of how many pages you read until Sunday June 24th 2018 11.59pm. In this thread you can post your progress, tell everyone what you're reading and most important record how many pages you get through.
Then all readers' totals will be tallied during the following week and we will aim for a grand total of 20,000 pages - So remember every page counts, text books, novels, even guide books. 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 or not it's just having fun doing what you would normally be doing anyway and sharing that. 👌
Make sure to add your name to the thread if you would like to be included. If you simply stumble onto the thread, then please, join in!
As for the last read-a-thon, and to make it easier to keep track, please update your first post each time you check in rather than adding new entries each time.
*An easy way to keep track is by using the Currently Reading feature on Goodreads: enter 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 relative to listening time then give it your best guess!
