Haha! Yes you're right :) I'm not going to do my total until a bit later - give others time to report in :)

I'm going to post our total for this challenge now - even though we have people still to post their totals :)

Congratulations to all our participants - we have an excellent total of

29,985 pages achieved!

Well done everyone :)


A special mention to Michelle with over 3000 pages which is an astronomical figure!

Not sure why this isn't showing up as I posted it on Saturday the 9th? Hopefully it will now. I'll also cut and paste it again. =o)

 Li'l Owl | 2504 comments Day 3 - Read-a-thon Total - 903

Here's my re-post from Saturday the 9th, Brenda!
My personal best! =o)

I really enjoyed my Harry Potter Marathon! Managed to read Years 1, 2, and ½ way through Year 3!
If I had been able to stay awake longer on day three I could have made it all the way through the third book!
I kept falling asleep dropping my 400 page book on my face! I probably looked like Hermione's cat Crookshanks in the end!

Thanks Owl :) I certainly didn't see it - but it could have been there! Maybe I wasn't expecting it so early so didn't notice the total ;)

There are usually a few who don't get back to post their totals Krystal so what we have now is possibly it I'm afraid :)
