Hello everyone and thank you all for taking part in the June readathon! As always everyone will have a few days to put their final totals and I hope to post the final page total by the end of the week.
Updated my own post. Pretty pleased with my total. Feel like I've read more this past couple of weeks than I have the past 9 months.

Total pages: 16,324
Total books read: 49"
Wow! Now I am looking forward to seeing the final total.

49?? wow! 👀 That's more than impressive!

I don't know how I do it either. I'm gonna guess my neurodivergence.
The final total of the June readathon is 58,607 pages!
Well done everyone!!
I look forward to the July readathon. Might make it extended as well.

In the June 2024 Read-a-thon thread, you will post your progress, telling everyone what you're reading and how many pages. Then all readers' totals will be tallied throughout the week to reach the goal of 10,000 pages.
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, it's just having fun doing what you would normally be doing anyway.
Once the June Read-a-thon thread is posted/unlocked, make sure to put your name on the thread if you would like to be included. If you simply stumble onto the thread, then please, join in!
*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. Don't forget to post your totals of daily or full weekend tally on the thread
