It was! Part true, part tall tales, quirky characters, I loved it! A husband and wife take a road trip with a rooster and an alligator, what's not to love?
Yes, it does sound good, Patricia.
Updating message 31.494 pages in total. It's fewer than my last month's readathon
I may be able to squeeze in a few more pages before midnight, but probably not. My total is 885 pages.
Updated my entry :538 pages. Not bad considering I only managed 5 on Friday!
I completed Post 12 with my weekend total.

Up to now weìve read al together 13.105, but counting some partial - people who have written only Fridays and/or Saturday - we're up to 16.499. A lot are still missing - due to different times in different countries.
I'll check again tomorrow morning.
Please update your original message and not put number down here, I risk of missing them!
If you don't remember where you were, check the list: close to your name it's the number of your message!!!!

No big deal Michael. For you it was the first time. It is only too complicated if all of us write different messages with different numbers!!!

Updated my post. 305 pages total. I'll try harder next time.
Friday: 15Saturday: 45

Total: 95
Sorry for everyone, I was really very tired so could contribute only a bit! :)
Updated #28 - 150 pages. Seems to be my average for weekend reading. I must work on that! But I love finish/starting a new book anyway.
My total is up ---- I almost broke 1,000 at 997 pages --- maybe next month?!
I just got my internet back after it went out friday and I spent a good portion of the weekend not reading since I was running errands or hanging out at someone else's home to watch weather (we had 11" of rain in 3 days).Of course I was reading a book with no page #'s and it's a set of 5 books so I'm really extrapolating as to how many pages I read.
I'm not updating my original post as I didn't keep track daily...so...
Heart of Darkness Pg 277-328 = 51
Judgment in Death 14% of a 5 book set...so 65% through JiD? (I'm assuming each book is 20% of the total %) JiD is 356 pages so...231 pages?
282 Pages total.

Congratulations, group! Great reading!
Thanks, Petra! Of course if I'd added it up Sunday night instead of Monday morning, I could have read 3 more pages and made it;) --- I'll have to keep that in mind next month!
Always amazed by how much combined reading everyone manages to do on the Readathon weekends. Well done everyone it's a fun way to spur us all on.
My totals were 343 not 434 as in the participant list.
Mod
I really enjoy Readathons. I feel very motivated to pick up a special book and try to finish it over the readathon weekend. Thank you everyone!
My apologies for not contributing this month - I haven't been well plus other problems. Well done on total this month. I look forward to Novembers read-a-thon!
