From Friday October 28rd at 12.01am (in your local time zone), you start keeping track of how many pages you read until Sunday October 30th at 11.59pm. In October Read-a-thon thread you will post your progress, telling everyone what you're reading and how many pages. Then all readers' totals will be tallied on the Monday or Tuesday to reach the goal of 20,000 pages. This is a relaxed read-a-thon; it doesn't matter if we reach our goal, it's just having fun doing what you would normally be doing!
Now that the thread is posted in book Chat, make sure to post your name on the thread if you would like to be included. If you simply stumble onto the thread, then please, join in!
As with previous read-a-thons, to better keep track of all numbers, we ask that you edit the first post you write in the discussion to mark your progress, so that the number of posts doesn't become overwhelming!
*An easy way to keep track is using the Currently Reading feature on Goodreads, entering your page number at the end of each day.
**For those who read by eReader, take the page number which shows for paperback/hardcover here on Goodreads for your total.Calculate by percentage to work out your page number read.
***For audio listeners, check out how many pages the book has on Goodreads, then divide that number by how many CDs or hours it is to give you an idea of pages per time.
If you respond 'Yes” to the event invitation , please don't forget to list totals in October Read-a-thon thread in Bookchat. Don't forget to post your totals of daily or full week end tally on the thread.
