Started summing up; we've all done a good job!
See above for the total; many are missin though, so we have margins to improve the total

I've also received a mail from a member - Kellie Bungarden - who couldn't find this thread; I've added her name and number of pages as well, but I've posted her the link so hopefully she'll post here as well

[Anne (Booklady)]

when I woke up this morning, I remembered I forgot to post my pages for Sunday (yesterday). Posted now. 775 Pages in total.

Sorry Laura

[Karen Michele]

I updated my post. We had company, so it's a little lower than usual, but I enjoyed my reading!

[LauraT]

Updated the second post with all corrected number of pages and ... WE MADE it! We managed to read more than 20,000 pages - and someone is still missing!
Great job all of us - some has read an astonishingly high number pf pages. My total admiration to Rebecca, who managed to rea more than 4,000 pages in three days: how can you do it!?!
But we've been all good for our own part.
I was thinking of "jumping" the December Read-a-Thon: the last week end is that of Christmas, the one before is, I think, too colse to this.
What do you say to have the next one in January?

[Brooklyn]

That's great that hear ^_^ and as for skipping the next read a thon - I don't mind. Everyone's bound to be crazy busy towards the end of December and into the new year, naturally.

[Marina]

I would say we skip it and postpone it to January. I won't be able to participate in December.

[Charbel]

I know I'm a little late but I updated my total.

I am fine with the week before Christmas.

[Myst]

Either works for me.

Another thought is lower the pages read goal to 10,000 so nobody feels obliged to be unsociable.

[Brooklyn]

Either works for me too :)

[Alannah]

Any time for December works for me, will probably not get reading as much as other months just because of my job but I can try.

This is my feeling as well. Between gift shopping & other holiday preparations, there is no real good time for me to participate this month.

[Tweedledum]

Wow a great total again.

Happy to jump to Jan for next Readathon or take part.... How about making December a family or household Readathon? Count how many pages all in the house read that weekend? Could that make it a social event in itself? It would be really good if it was sharing a story together...
So the aim could be less how many pages did "I" read and more were we all able to contribute something however small...
