Quarterly Read-a-thon-Friday Sept 5th - Sunday Sept 7th INCL

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Haha!! That's why I keep reminding everyone Sally;) All day Friday plus the weekend:) It's actually quite a bad weekend this time with father's day and footy finals for a lot of people....oh well, better luck next quarter!

[Sally906]

Not doing much for hubby - daughter is coming over for tea with the grandchildren but they won't stay long. I have my Bookcrossing meetup on Sunday morning for breakfast. But will still get a bit of reading in never fear

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I hope everyone has a lovely relaxing day for father's day, reading and catching up with family as most people do:)

I'd been meaning to check, because I was sure it was going to be this weekend, but I have been so busy with work and family that I hadn't sat at my computer! Got a busy Saturday, but looking forward to a nice relaxing Sunday afternoon of reading now!

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

95 pages and North Star Guide Me Home done... off to bed for an early start tomorrow.

[Tracey Allen]

I just read 84 pages of A Man Called Ove.

[Sally906]

Good morning readers

I am on page 1 of both Wattle Creek by Fiona McCallum and Of Merlot & Murder by Joni Folger. Thought it would be easier to keep track of my pages like that.

Here is some morning sustenance for you all:

Oh wow, look at that lovely spread Sally! You have been busy :D

I finished the last %19 of The Virtues of Oxygen by Susan Schoenberger
Don't know how that translates into pages but???
Am going to start The Engagement Party by Kimberley Freeman tonight after my guest has gone to bed ;)

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

....and here's 4 virtual bottles ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ of Veuve Clicquot bubbly to wet your whistles with in the meantime...Cheers Everyone! Happy reading!! :D

[Carolyn]

Breakfast looks great Sally and Jules! Might have to go easy on the virtual bubbles - big day coming up at work. Won't get much reading done today as I'm going out tonight but I'm anticipating getting a lot done tomorrow :D

Have started by Caroline Overington.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Champagne and orange juice for breakfast. Thanks Julie:)

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Oops...forgot the fresh squeezed orange juice...here you go, I picked them this morning from my virtual garden ;)
You're welcome Phrynne.
@Carolyn, have nice day at work and a great night out tonight! Hope the rain holds off!

[Valerie]

Freshly baked virtual croissant anyone?

[Veronica ⭐️]

After Sally's lovely breakfast I can sit back sip on Julie's bubbly and start reading No Safe House

[Carolyn]

OJ, bubbly & croissants! Best virtual breakfast ever!

It's okay. Everything is there but I am somehow not involved in it yet! Plenty of pages to go though:

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks:) I'll wait until you get in further!

Into Blood Orange Brewing by Laura Childs, pages 21-74

[Bec]

Read 30 pages so far (I went back to bed this morning so that was just lunchtime reading) currently still reading A Man Called Ove - Ove reminds me a lot of The Rosie Project meets Grumpy Old Men

Oops I forgot the two books I read for my Spring Challenge - 32 pages and also 32 pages so that makes 92 pages today so far!!

[Sally906]

I have read 123 pages so far today. Not bad for pre- work and lunch break :)

Time for cake



And a yummy cocktail - something for everyone here:

[Irene]

Finished the first book - 257 pages. Now onto Eggs in Purgatory by Laura Childs

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I have just finished Frontier Resistance by Leonie Rogers - 293 pages

Now to start The Sunnyvale Girls by Fiona Palmer

LOL! Sorry;)

[Rosie]

I have read 150 pages so far.

Not bad for the train trip to and from work and my lunch break.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Everyone has started off very well!

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Only sixty pages but now I know why I am not really liking The Girl with All the Gifts. It's written in the present tense. I don't like books written in the present tense!!!

[Suz]

Arghh in my usual rushing and no time on line I was thinking it started tonight midnight. How do I count pages on my kindle app for iPad (I'm hating the ereading but want to finish)?? It's giving me a location not page number. Ie. loc 1849 of 3457, I can't seem to display it in pages format.
