Katie | 2360 comments In the last few read-a-thons, we've turned our reading accomplishments into a journey around the world, traveling a mile for each page read, and we've seen some pretty beautiful places.

This read-a-thon we're going to take our journey into outer space.

Because we're traveling at a different scale, for every page read, we get to travel a hundred thousand miles as a group. (That really makes you feel like you've accomplished something, doesn't it?)

So come here to post your pages read and see as the miles rack up. I'll post our final "destination" at the end of each day. Will we make it through the solar system?

Starting Destination: The Sun

Allegra | 158 comments Is this for everyone participating? It's my first Readathon with this group so I'm not clear on the rules/etc., but I thought we were being divided into teams.

Also, do all books count for this part? ie, Audio, Children's, Art, Manga/Graphic

This is for everyone, Allegra. Just post how many pages you read for your team each day. For the read a thong(thon), you'll work with your team and there are also daily activities that we do together ;-)

Ha Ha ...another read a THONG

Katie | 2360 comments Allegra, only the team challenge is done in teams. Every other activity or game is for anyone to participate if they like. But you aren't required to participate in any or all games.

Pages read in any type of book count toward this game. Audiobooks listened to may also be converted to pages read as well.

Katie | 2360 comments March 2 Update

Pages read: 5003
Miles traveled from the Sun: 500,300,000


Two days in and you guys have really rocked it.

At 35,980,000 miles from the Sun, we flew by Mercury.

At 67,240,000 miles from the Sun, we flew by Venus.

At 92,960,000 miles from the Sun, we flew by Earth and we waved to all the lovely readers there.

At 141,600,000 miles from the Sun, we flew by Mars.

From 204,430,000 to 297,450,000 miles, we battled through the Asteroid Belt.

And for our last sight of the day, at 483,800,000 miles, we passed Jupiter.

Let's see how far tomorrow will take us.
