Hi all, it seems everyone is getting on nicely. I've just finished my third book and will be starting the fourth tomorrow. I also feel a little silly as I just realised that the readathon doesn't end on Friday? Either way, more time for me to hopefully finish all my planned books!

It seems like I may be the furthest ahead time zone here, but I'm officially done with my first day of reading! Definitely not as productive as I would've liked, but I made some decent progress in starting a few books. A quick question Lisa. I began a book today that would've fulfilled prompt 2, however I'm not enjoying it and don't think I'll finish it - at least within the time constraints of this readathon. I'm assuming that if I don't finish the book, I'm unable to count it towards pages read for this challenge?
Hi everyone, I'm Jaida. I've been reading since I was a child, with a lot of encouragement from my mother who was also a massive reader when she was younger. I'm unfortunately very inconsistent with my reading and can read 3 books in a day and then not pick up another for 3 months. I am working on balancing my studies with reading though, but unfortunately, a lot of my readings can't be logged onto Goodreads!
I'm excited to do this with you all, and thank you Lisa for taking on the challenge of group leader!
1. How many books do you think you'll be able to read over the 10-day event? 5+2. Can you commit to checking in with your team approximately every 2-3 days throughout the 10 days of the readathon? Yes
3. Are you willing to assume the role of leader or co-leader for your team? (See below for what these roles entail.)* No thank you
4. Did you participate in either the World Mysteries readathon in 2022 or the 25k readathon in 2021? No
