It doesn't sound bad does it? I am going to aim for 200 pages a day. I've done 100 at breakfast and lunch so today looks very achievable:)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Yes when broken down it's definitely achievable unless you're working/driving all day/something else;)

They look so inviting in this cold weather! Reminds me of the movie "Che..."

No thanks, Brenda, I'm having a binge-watching dvd weekend instead. I will think of you all as I'm eating my toasted cheese sandwiches!

"

Could probably do 666.666 books if we were reading children's books. Little Golden Books anybody?

[Melanie]

I've been reading It by Stephen King (can't find it to link) however I can't read that book in high bursts so moved onto to Crossed as its a much easier book to read in huge bursts.

[Stef]

ok so 25 pages of Sage Handbook of Play and Learning in Early Childhood

PLUS

32 pages of The Heart is a Lonely Hunter

PLUS

200 pages of Insurgent not because Insurgent is more interesting or particularly well written (the opposite is true) but because it is an easy read with few words per page so I was saving it for the readathon ;) so that I will pull my weight.

257 pages from me so far. Target exceeded ;) (but possibly tomorrow I wont have time to read cause parties

[Stef]

Oh! I see in fact I only need about 40 more today...which I was going to do regardless. I really think I will reach my target at least today

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

LOL!!


I have finished my first book - A Dangerous Arrangement by Lee Christine

240 pages

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Nice Michael!

[Suz]

I might win the prize for least reading

It's only day one Suzanne..don't put yourself under pressure! Enjoy your reading when you can read - enjoy your family the rest of the time :)

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

Total of 406 pages for today so far, and finished The Long Ships - so good!

Excellent Liam! Keep it up and you'll be over 1000 at the end :)

That's not scary for me. I'll try and read a few more to cover those who don't read as fast as me and may struggle to reach that goal.

If work as a team we'll make it - or at least frighten the goal )

Don't stress, Suzanne - I think I might rival you for the least amount of pages read! At least for today, but I'm not too worried. I'll get a bit more reading time in tomorrow, anyway.

[Ryley]

Woo just finished Angel Fall and read the last 68 pages

Excellent Ryley:) I wondered if I'd linked the correct book;)

Thanks Sally, appreciate that.

I didn't get in any lunchtime reading so if you could cover off a few pages for me that would be fabulous...
