I updated post 19 with my total and am almost finished one of my books now.
Updated 27. 1190 pages.
I completely forgot this readathon was happening, because I was busy with the GoodReads group that does Dewey's 24-Hour Readathon twice a year. I've done the Readathon twice before (April and October last year) but I participated in the discussions more this time. But now that I've noticed this thread, I like seeing what people have read.Pam wrote: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and other Classic Novels
Sounds good. I liked 20,000 Leagues but haven't read anything else by Verne.
Message 5 updated. Sorry for the slow addition, but I've had a super busy 2 days where I've been home to sleep and that's about it.

Once the thread is posted in book Chat, make sure reply to the event or put your name on the thread if you would like to be included. If you simply stumble onto the thread, then please, join in!
As for the last read-a-thon, better to keep track of all numbers, we change the first post we write in the discussion, so each of us has only one and not 2000 as before!!!!
*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 April Read-a-thon thread in Bookchat. Don't forget to post your totals of daily or full week end tally on the thread.
