Aussie Readers discussion

It's time to mark our calendars for our last quarterly read-a-thon for 2021. It will take place Friday December 10th at 12.01am and continue until Sunday December 12th at 11.59pm in your local time zone - 3 full days :)

We read 30,312 pages last quarterly read-a-thon, so for our December/Summer readathon we'll aim for 31,000 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 Monday 13th December AEST :)

Yes I’m looking forward to it. Here are a few I’d like to get read, but I could change my mind and probably will 😃

Where the Trees Were by Inga Simpson
My Name Is Lucy Barton by Elizabeth Strout
True Blue by Sasha Wasley

Great you have your books organised Sharon :)

Only a few hours until midnight tonight! Good luck everyone :)

Yes not sure I’ll still be awake at midnight, Brenda 😴

What might you be reading?

Also not sure I'll still be awake at midnight, as I had a bad night's sleep last night. I might have a nap now in preparation...
Hoping to finish A Cornish Christmas Murder (which I started this morning) and read
The Happiest Refugee, The Missing Girl and Tank Water, which are all due back at the library on Monday - nothing like a little pressure! School holidays have started this afternoon for my daughter, so a pyjama day tomorrow and a relatively quiet weekend will be a big help!
