Well I really expected to get to do more reading than this but I had unexpected guests drop in and a series of unexpected and lengthy calls from friends I haven't from in years, including one from Brazil!! So sorry, not sorry LOL.

Renee V | 238 comments Sorry all, confirming I read nothing, not a single page over the 3 days. Reading slump continues but only a week and half of work to go so fingers crossed for some reading over Christmas break.

Oh that's bad luck Renee. I hope your break helps reignite your reading passion again :)

It's a busy time of year for everyone so I think we all did an amazing job. We will make that goal next time!!!

Glad everyone enjoyed our reading weekend - and yes, a busy time of year, with the next readathon beckoning ;)

Sharon | 5592 comments Great job everyone. Thanks for organising, Brenda. Have enjoyed all of them and look forward to doing them again in 2024 😃

Carolyn | 9909 comments Well done everyone! That's a great total for a busy weekend 🏆
I'm already looking forward to the next one!


message 164: by Damo (new)

Damo | 560 comments Whoo boy! Not the weekend I was expecting. The southerly that came through on Saturday night brought down the massive gum tree in front of our house - also the power and NBN lines. Fortunately it fell away from the house! Consequently no power Sunday, and still no NBN today! I've been a bit distracted is what I'm saying. ☺️

Anyway, my reading is:
Fri - 179
Sat - 205
Sun - 169

Tot - 553 pages

Oh gosh Damo that's no good!! You were lucky though that it didn't hit your house - or anyone in a car or walking...

Thanks for your total - I'll adjust it above :)
