every little page is important - it may be the one page that gets us to goal :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Alison and Odette, you're both added to the list now:)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Added in Melanie:)

Yaay looking forward to this...Unless I overread it in the FAQ are you allowed to continue on with a novel that you're in the middle of reading or does it have to be a new book?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

No, just start your count from the page you start on on the Friday:)

[Melanie]

Thank you Brenda.

[Mell]

I'm ready for the weekend! Babysitting Friday afternoon/evening so hopefully the kids are good and I can read! Then getting my hair done Saturday morning so more reading :) good luck everyone! Happy reading :)

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

Jesus, lucky somebody commented in here I had completely forgotten about this!

Also working solo at the quietest branch in the system on Friday so I should be able to get some reading done despite working all day :P

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Only 25 pages from me, still trying to finish Last Woman Hanged (more surprise house guests staying here!).
Stopped at page 202, hope to finish it later.
I haven't started my other pledged book yet, Oddfellows...so I will start it next.

The good news is I have just about written my review already for Last Woman Hanged...been taking notes! ;)

[Sally906]

Haven't started yet these are the pages I am at now so I can keep track!!

I have 4 books on the go (well one of them is actually 3 books in one so is 6 really) - I need to finish the first 3 this weekend for various challenges I am in - the 4th is just for me :)

The books, and starting pages of each, are:
The Lake House by Kate Morton - starting at page 313

Twelve Days of Christmas by Trisha Ashley - starting at page 161

It Must Have Been the Mistletoe by Judy Astley - starting at page 83.

Christmas Baby Miracles by Jacqueline Diamond - starting at page 1

Should make a big dent tonight as we are turning the airconditioning on - closing the house up - and sipping wine, nibbling cheese and biccies and listening to music :)
