Didn't boot up the PC today and thought I would catch up on my phone but can't edit comments so will add here so I don't forget and hopefully sort out on PC tomorrow. 246 pages and finished Midnight in Chernobyl
Mod
That's ok Pam, that's not needed anymore. I'm not as harsh on having everyone stay in the same one comment anymore as I simply calculate all the totals through all the comments.

I don't know why GR doesn't allow editing of comments on other platforms even if the main site is loaded in a browser.

Forgot to join this earlier, but here's what I've read:12/28:

12/29: 344-354 of Spindle's End = 10 pages + 357-397 of The Two Towers 40 pages = 50 pages
90 pages read so far
12/31/2021: The Two Towers finished, 358-415 = 47 pages + 90 = 137
also finished an audiobook:
The Lives of Christopher Chant 230 pages in hardcover

In the December 2021 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 December Read-a-thon thread is posted, 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 ŷ, 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 ŷ 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 ŷ, 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 weekend tally on the thread.
