I'm assuming the three days include 4, 5, 6 January (Fri-Sun) in our own local time. I'll just enter pages as I read or at the end. Edited since the readathon doesn't include the 4th.
I am continuing some more of the stories in A Manual for Cleaning Women: Selected Stories by Lucia Berlin, which I've been meaning to read for years, but my other reads are all new so don't count.
UPDATED 8 Jan - I read more other books, but here I can count only 70 pages
Mod
Yes!
Just read as much as you can!

They were 5, 6 and 7. But okay! But stick to the theme above.
I'm reading War Storm, hopefully I'll be able to finish it during the readathon.
I'm currently reading Solitaire and City of Ghosts. Hopefully I'll get one of them done before the readathon ends *fingers crossed*
I'm reading New Moon by Stephanie Meter!Page count: 50:)

So the readathons will be Saturday, Sunday, Monday the 5-7 of the month? The "4" confused me . I'll put the right counts in later. : )

Have you finished the book?
We can choose anything? Update: Concrete by Thomas Bernhard.
Mod
Yes, but only update book if you have finished it. If you haven't, then update the pages only.
And you can let us know of the book's name anyway :)
Mod
Sure, if it relates to the theme :)
Mod

Aww it's okay. It happens. Should I really remove you?
Mod
Wow, doing great!

I think I'll just take the page count out of my first comment. There's not much point in creating a challenge if we don't follow the rules!
I'm used to readathons counting just the number of pages read, sometimes including short stories and novellas, but usually not graphic novels. Sometimes it can only be books that are at least 125 pages long, although you don't have to read the whole book.
Unfortunately, two of mine are advanced reader copies, so they really DON'T fit the bill!

Alright but can you clarify your first comment?
Mod
Wow, doing great!"
Thank you! Since I'm on holidays, I have plenty of time to read :D

What I'll do is count the pages from the book that IS an old one and that does qualify. Won't be very long but keeps me on the list. I'll go fix it now.

Updated comment 7. I could count only 70 pages. I'll pay more attention to the rules next time! : )
Mod

P.S. I updated the page and book counts this time. Please provide with the total in the future.

Looking forward for february. First readathon was sorta successful for me :D ! Haven't read three books at a stretch. I spent a lot of time deliberating on which books to read. Next time I'll have a list ready
Mod
We'll have the poll ready for selecting the theme for Feb by 15 and you'll know the theme in a day or so!
