Quarterly Read-a-thon Friday 2nd June - Sunday 4th June 2017

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

It's time to mark your calendars for our next quarterly read-a-thon! It will take place Friday June 2rd at 12.01am and continue until Sunday June 4th at 11.59pm in your local time zone - 3 full days :)

We went over our goal in the last Read-a-thon with just over 34,000 pages read, so this time we'll make our GOAL - 34,500 pages

Don't forget our Challenge Guidelines here

Please post your interest here in this thread up until we begin the challenge - when the weekend is over the page numbers read will be tallied:)

If possible, check in at least once a day, more often if you want. Our cut off time for you to add your final totals with a NEW POST will be 12noon Monday 5th AEST:)

Oops! Maybe the wrong thread but it's Oh, so cute!

[Li'l Owl]

Here are the days/hours for those of us in the US.
Based on Sydney, AU we are, more or less, 18 hours behind Australia.
Thursday, June 1 @ 6:00 am to Sunday, June 3 @ 6:00 am.
I am positive that all of you could have figured this out on your own, but I thought I'd save you the time. I hope that's alright. =o)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

LOL! Thanks Owl :)

[Li'l Owl]

Any time my friend. =o)

[Chris]

Please count me in too. Being the middle of the term, I may not get much reading in, but I guess every page helps. 😉 Last quarterly challenge weekend coincided with my cricket club winning a long-awaited Premiership, so hoping this one will be just as satisfying! 😊😉

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Every little bit does help Chris:)

[Odette]

Please count me in as well. May not get much reading done on the Saturday, as I have tickets for the musical South Pacific in the afternoon at the Q theatre Queanbeyan.
Will make it up on the other two days!! Shorter days more reading.

[Amanda]

My son in law is in that show Odette! I hope you enjoy it.

[Odette]

Thanks, I am looking forward to it. I have seen some good shows there, including Les Miserables just recently.

Great you're joining us again Chris :)

[Amanda]

He was in that too Odette. I got to see that one - was terrific. Probably won't get to S Pacific though - I live in Melbourne so it is not that easy!

[MichelleG]

OMGOSH I just saw this *phew*... please count me in, I'd be so upset if I missed it <3

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Welcome to the fun girls! I think 7 will just about cover it Anne ;)

[Kalliste]

I'm a bit confused about what it is. We just have to read as much as we can over that weekend and note down pages read?

winter weekends reading anyway!

[Karen]

That's it Kalliste :) As long as what you're reading fills the guidelines in the first post, you're right.
