Thanks for the time line Owl :-)
Wish i could participate but we have friends visiting from out of town & we're taking them to a wine & cheese fest (all-day event) on Sat. By the time i begin reading on Sunday....... it's already Monday in Australia! LOL

[Li'l Owl]

You're welcome.
There will be many others, Anne! Not to worry! Have a fantastic time! =o) xx

Pssst... I bet they might let you borrow a little Aussie time. They are all awfully nice over yonder! But you didn't hear it from me, okay.. Shhhh!

Don't forget it's over 3 days - starts midnight Friday morning and ends midnight Sunday night :) Taking Saturday out, you still have two full days if you want and can ;)

[Diana]

Would love to take Friday off work to read but its my boss' birthday and I just don't think I can justify the time off. I'll be reading Friday night and parts of Saturday and Sunday.

[Jen]

I'm in Brenda

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

You're added Jen :)

Not too long until we can start.... this time tomorrow night we'll only be hours away for those who read their first words at midnight :)

[Jen]

Woo hoo thank you Brenda can't wait to start.

[Niamh]

Thought I'd already said yes to this, but apparently not. Count me in!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Now you're on the list Niamh :) Not long until we start!

[Sally906]

Woo hoo - 1 more day and my pages count!!!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

That they do! Exciting again :)

[Suz]

I will join in! Always a challenge to count my audio pages though!

[Paget]

Oh, the Quarterly Read a thon. I almost missed it. I am in.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Great girls! I'll add you to the list. Suzanne, just pick the page count from GR book profile - paperback or whatever :)

[Kylie]

Can't wait guys! Does proof-reading reports count??? ;)

Don't worry - I do NOT plan on spending the entire weekend doing that! I'm most certainly ready to pass them onto my sub-school leader next week!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Haha no Kylie ;)

Only a matter of hours now!

[Kylie]

Ah, drat! There'd be almost 125 pages quite comfortably too I'd reckon! :p

Yes indeed!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

:)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Hope everyone is ready! Just over 4 hours and we can start counting our pages :) I just chose all the books I want to read! lol

[Kylie]

Yep, I'm ready!

Now this might sound like a stupid question, but am I allowed to use the book I'll be reading for my Winter Challenge in this one? I just want to double-check. :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Any book at all, so long as it meets the challenge guidelines Kylie :) So yes!

[Kylie]

Thought so, thanks for the confirmation Brenda! :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

No problems Kylie :)

[Rosie]

Count me in

Got all my books lined up - now waiting for the clock to tick over to 2nd June, then it's readathon time, YAY!

[Deb]

36 minutes to go - I am wide awake and bored. Between insomnia a late shifts I am primed to start reading....

[Amanda]

Does catching up on all your social media while watching Nick Kyrgios at the French Open count? No, I think not!

Amanda, I'm doing exactly the same thing :-)

He has such a bad temper! Two warnings for racquet abuse! He never learns. Such arrogance too. I was hoping he'd lose :-)

Yes any book which fits the criteria counts Noelene :) Just get the page count from the goodreads profile :)"

Thanks. I'm entering data into report cards at the moment and I can listen to an audio book at the same time. Will make the task less tedious.

[Paget]

I am currently rereading Children of Dune. I read 80 pages tonight. And now I am trying to catch some sleep.
