I have nothing to do rn so would love to join! Is there a minimum total for each person to read or just however much you manage?
Mod
I'm in Brenda! I have my daughter's dance concert, which will take almost all my time and attention for the day, on Saturday, but will do my best to make up for it on Friday and Sunday!

We read 28,861 pages last quarterly read-a-thon, so for our December/Summer readathon (and with the busyness at this time of year!) we'll aim for 25,000 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 9th December AEST :)
