SO sorry I'm slow ;). Also a somewhat low total in my 273 pages in Parchment and Old Lace but there it is! Great work everyone!!!

Actually, I took time off for a hamburger in town and watched a movie last night instead of reading, so I feel a bit slack myself :(
I did Brenda. Hamburgers are a rarity where I live. I think I'm reading a lot faster lately, but still a long way off your lightening speed :)
Everyone had some great totals! I can't believe how much some people read! I need to pick up the pace haha
I know - fabulous isn't it Laura!
So good Ace...I'm amazed they're hard to get though...you'll have to make them yourself:)

Woa! Some great totals there everyone. Congrats to top readers Brenda and Michelle and all those who read up a storm! This is going to be a hard act to top :)
Thanks Carolyn:) I think it's exceptional especially because of the time of year. Everyone has lots of things on with Christmas coming up; plus a few were unwell; some were away! A brilliant effort:)
Great results everyone! I love these read-a-thons and seeing everyone cheering each other on. Great stuff!
As Liam said..grand total of 19,890 pages!!!
Congratulations on an excellent combined effort everyone!

We did good :)
Even though we missed the goal by a whisker, it is still an amazing achievement. Well done to everyone who participated. I always feel like there is a bond shared between us with the quarterly readathons, as Aussie Readers all round the world put their heads together to read those thousands of pages.
We have one at the beginning of each seasonal challenge Chloe; the first weekend in:) So next one will be March 2016. Glad you enjoyed it!
Well done to all..I think it's an awesome amount considering the time of the year is a busy one!Looking forward to the next one.
