Quarterly Read-a-thon - Friday Mar 6th-Sunday 8th INCL

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

It's time to mark your calendars for our next quarterly read-a-thon! It will take place Friday March 6th at 12.01am and continue until Sunday March 8th at 11.59pm in your local time zone - 3 full days :) (This will coincide with the beginning of the Autumn Challenge)

Our goal will be a total of 17,500 pages read by all who participate. If we exceed that total, we will possibly increase it for our next quarterly read-a-thon.

Please post your interest here in this thread up until we begin the challenge - when the weekend is over the page number read will be tallied:)

If possible, check in at least once a day, more often if you want. Our cut off time for you to add your final totals will be 12noon Monday 9th AEST:)

Can you give us a definite closer to the date please Brittnee? When we do our list of participants, we'll need to know if you're in or out:) Thanks!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I usually post reminder notices in here Liam:) Put it in your phone as an alarm or something;)

[MaryG2E]

I really enjoyed the last one, so I'm IN for this one too. But I will be away from home for about 36 hours over this particular weekend. So my contribution will be modest. However, I know every page read helps the overall total.

[Jackmeister]

Count me in, sounds like fun. :-)

[Veronica ⭐️]

I'm in too.

[Odette]

Sounds good - Count me in as I should be home most of that weekend.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Excellent!

[Margaret]

I am in too!!

[Marianne]

LOL, why is it that the readathon is always on the weekend I'm having book club, which means a few hours of talking about books instead of actually reading them?

Welcome to the group - no pressure as to number of pages - even if you only read a chapter at some stage over the 2 1/2 days it will all add to the total.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

It's 3 days Sally:) Don't take time away;)
