My weekend was interrupted and I didn’t get much read. Les Miserables by Victor Hugo- 75 pages

Well done everyone!
For the last readathon of 2021, I am thinking of making a big one, it's my birthday next month and as it's a big one, I'm thinking of doing it from 16th right through to the 31st.
I understand it's a very busy month for most people but like I always say, you can just pick and choose whenever you like to take part.
It won't matter to me if you just do the first three days or just do the first day and then come back for the last three days. Whatever works for you, this readathon is as flexible as you want it to be. If you have a reading goal you need to finish off, it's a good idea.
I love your December plan Alannah! 5 members of my family have December birthdays including all three of my children. I hope you can make your birthday special and celebrate properly.

In the October 2021 Read-a-thon thread you will post your progress, telling everyone what you're reading and how many pages. Then all readers' totals will be tallied throughout the week to reach the goal of 10,000 pages.
This is a relaxed read-a-thon; it doesn't matter if you read 20 pages or 100, it also doesn't matter if we reach our goal, it's just having fun doing what you would normally be doing anyway.
Once the October Read-a-thon thread is posted, make sure to put your name on the thread if you would like to be included. If you simply stumble onto the thread, then please, join in!
*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.
