Wow, that's impressive stuff! Thanks as well for your stats too Brenda, very inspiring :-)

[Ryley]

I'm in!
I've never done this read-a-thon before :)

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

Call in sick for the three days, it helps.

[Sally906]

I didn't read 530 pages last time - so thank you to the people who read my share :)

I was thinking the same thing Sally. I will try my best to be Mrs Average this time.

[Leonie]

I'll be on my way to and from Melbourne, so I'll probably have a bit of reading time on the plane - shall see what I can do.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I've added you to the list Leonie:)

[Sally906]

Cooking up some toasted sandwiches to practice for the weekend - here's my first batch -

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Oh Sally they do look pretty darn good...but I think you might have to practice a few more times before the weekend to perfect them :P

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Oh yum!

[MaryG2E]

Sorry folks, but I'm going to withdraw from the challenge. I've just found out that I have to work on Friday evening. Means I have to leave at the crack of dawn Saturday for my visit to friends - realistically, there's just not going to be enough time for much reading. Good luck with the challenge, hope you crack that 18,000 page target!

They look so inviting in this cold weather! Reminds me of the movie "Chef" with Jon Favreau. I don't know anyone who came away from that film without craving a toasted cheese sanga

[[deleted user]]

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Come on guys! Only a few more hours until we start:) And we'll all be reading something anyway;)

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Where's Laura these days??

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Not sure Jools...she hasn't been on much at all since late last year I think:) A little bit in the NY but not much since...

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

27 on our list at the moment - so our average is only 666.666 books per person;)

We can do it!!!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh oops! Just as well you're alert Rita!!!!

Perhaps I'll leave the BIG mistake there...to wake me up!

I don't know what's scarier. Needing to read 666.666 books or that it is the num..."

Noooooooooo we have to change that number!

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

It's only one moderately long book or two average length ones. We can do it:)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Hahaha...that's a scary notion Rita!

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Clearly we are all going to need to find something big and unputdownable! ;) ...and chocolates, I just had the absolute pleasure of trying one of those Lindt salted caramel chocs, Yum!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

LOL! Several smaller would make it less daunting I think Jools!

That would certainly put a dent in our TBR piles wouldn't it? A good way to tidy it up ;)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Yes that's the plan;)

[Ace]

I will join in, have very little reading time available this weekend tho..
