[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks Bianca :)

[Heidi]

Sorry, hope it's not too late - I read 320 pages.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

No not too late - thanks Heidi!!!

[Samantha]

280 pages all up - not heaps but every little bit helps :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Wonderful, thanks Samantha :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

34,084 pages - so close!!!!

[Kerri_M]

Oh if only I hadnt fallen asleep on Sunday night while reading! :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Never mind Kerri, we've all done an amazing job anyway 😊

[Deb]

Well done everyone - One day, there will be a readathon on a weekend I can stay home and just read. If we ALL could do that, just imagine what we could get up to!

[Chris]

We need to start one on Boxing Day - my best time for reading *grins*

[PattyMacDotComma]

I have to admit that I get a bit flustered when I realise we're supposed to have our totals in by Monday noon. I took a chance and reported late one time, but I wonder if anyone might have thought they missed the deadline on this so didn't report.

Maybe we really did read enough pages, Brenda, but they just weren't reported! We can dream, eh? :)

[Jenny]

Congratulation everyone!

I'm sure we did Patty! I don't mind late reporting but if I said people had until say Friday to report in, we'd be still waiting ;)

[Li'l Owl]

Did everyone report in?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

No :) If you check the list of participants above Owl, there are a lot who didn't :) Post #353

[Baz]

Inbox them, Brenda! I guarantee their pages put us over

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Haha!! No pressure Baz ;)

[Baz]

I know, right? Some big words for a guy who could've read much more but kept napping over the weekend haha :''')

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Haha!! Yeah your fault Baz ;P

[Brad]

Sorry I am late... I was lucky enough to get sick over the weekend :( Lots of sleeping, and not much reading...
The Jakarta Pandemic (The Perseid Collapse, #0.5) 255 pages read

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks Brad :) Sorry you were sick - hope you're recovered now...

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

34,339 pages!!!

161 to go ;)

Thanks :) Typical, much better now, just in time to go to work :S

Don't you hate that ;)

Yes I saw that. That's what I thought. We're getting there!

[Kylie]

What an absolutely outstanding effort! It's hard to even fathom that many pages really! (Although I'm sure some of you read that easily in 12 months or so!)

Fantastic work everyone! Look what a small group of bookworms can achieve in 3 days! I can't wait to the next one at the start of Spring!

[Amanda]

You can always add in my 100 pages of work reports I had to read! Not pleasure, but still reading!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks Amanda :)

[MichelleG]

100 pages of work reports should count as triple lol 😂

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Hahaha!!! Totally agree Michelle ;)

[Kylie]

Bahaha absolutely! It's always so much more tedious to get through something so dull and monotonous! Ugh!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Huge congratulations everyone (and thanks Helen!)
