Yes it was. Was a very busy weekend. Sorry for late reply and low amount...going by the theory that every bit counts though. Have a lovely night.

That's a fantastic effort, especially in view of the fact that most of the Australian readers were enjoying their first weekend after relaxation of intra-state travel restrictions and a long weekend! Well done everyone who took part!

27,529 pages
That's a great outcome Brenda, and congratulations to all participants. My reading time was seriously eroded by visits to and from friends, as we celebrated the relaxation of isolation with food, wine, chats, laughs and walks in the mild golden sunshine.
Congratulations everyone for a great effort. We didn't make our goal this time, but we'll have better luck next tim..."

I think we did well, especially as a lot of people headed out and about for the first time in awhile :)
