Thank you all for participating in the All About Book's October Readathon. With all the issues in Goodreads groups so far, I'm pleased to see you all here.
As always, I will give you a few days to get your final scores in, I see a good few of you have already done that. Thank you.
I look forward to seeing you all in November's readathon.

Finally tallied mine. 😃
Mod
I think this is a brilliant number seeing as we didn't seem to have as many people take part this month.
Our next readathon will take place from the 18th November until the 24th.
Well done everyone. I’m looking forward to the November and December ones.
Mod
I am too, I love hosting them :). I can't wait to see how much I will read then.
Looking forward to November. Well done everyone.

In the October 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 October 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 months' tally on the thread
