Mehrdad Jalali-Ghajar - you are looking good - keep up the good reading and work.

You have another hour of reading here in California (Check Point Two - Check In) - before you have to complete the template here and then post anew in Check In Three

Skeetor - good but you have one line the same. There are some slight differences from previous templates and you have a duplicate line - should be the following:

Total Books Read: - meaning how many different books did you sample in this time block
Total Books Completed: - meaning how many books did you complete the book itself in this time block

Folks I believe I have made a successful pass through the posts again on Checkpoint Two. I will move to Checkpoint Three and take a look there.

Asia, Australia, Europe, China, Hong Kong etc should be done with this Checkpoint Two - too late to post here now.

Eastern Standard Time folks - too late to post here - you can go to Checkpoint Three right now - make sure you tidied up here and filled in all of the blanks on your template

Central Time - you should be in Checkpoint Three - make sure you tidied up here and filled in all of the blanks on your template

Mountain Time - You should be just wrapped up here and moved to post in Checkpoint Three - tidy up and complete your template

Pacific Time Zone - another 45 minutes here - then wrap up and go to Checkpoint Three

Hawaii - you should be just be beginning Checkpoint Two so this thread is the right spot for you now.

Folks remember there is the mandatory check out shelf CHECKPOINT SEVEN) and you have to check out there when you are done.

I always give folks extra time to get that done on the day after the readathon start date which is today so any time today getting the tallies in is fine.

But CHECKPOINT SEVEN is the place to do the mandatory check out - so please use the CHECK OUT TEMPLATE.
No matter on what thread you checked in on - you have to check out today on CHECKPOINT SEVEN USING THE CHECK OUT TEMPLATE.
