Thank you for signing up, now that the readathon has started, I apologise that I haven't had the time to add your names to the list with my work hours changing due to Easter and I'm in university classes every night. But once you posted, please consider yourself signed up.

Thanks Alannah. :)"
Yes, Sunday should be the end of it, but I've only realised that the end date says Monday 29th so you can add your totals from that day. If you want to stop on Sunday, that's fine.

*An easy way to keep track is using the Currently Reading feature on Goodreads, entering your page number at the end of each day. **For those who read by eReader, take the page number which shows for paperback/hardcover here on Goodreads for your total. Calculate by percentage to work out your page number read.
***For audio listeners, check out how many pages the book has on Goodreads, then divide that number by how many CDs or hours it is to give you an idea of pages per time. Don't forget to post your totals of daily or full weekend tally on the thread.
