Yay Reading! Thanks for hosting, Alannah!I'm currently reading a classic sci fi series that won a lot of awards...
The Forever War by Joe Haldeman
(Ha! I'm so close to the top of this thread and I'm excited about it! *grins*)
Mon 22 Sept... pages 114 to 150 == 36
Tues 23 Sept... to 192 == 42
Wed 24 Sept... to 237 == 45
Thur 25 Sept... to 264 and done == 27
That book was really NOT what I was expecting, especially for a book written in the early 1970s!! And a little twist at the very end totally made me cry! ha!
And now, I need to figure out which book to read next? Apparently the next book he wrote, Forever Peace is not a sequel? weird.

In the September 2025 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 September Read-a-thon thread is posted/unlocked, 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 week's tally on the thread.
