Shall we aim for 20000 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:)



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.

Tweedledum  (tweedledum) | 2164 comments There seems to be something weird going on with my attempts to update. I have updated my entry about 6 times but it keeps reverting to an incomplete version.

So I will stop stressing about it and just say

What was the target?

I didn't sign up as I didn't think I would read much this weekend. I was right in that but I did track my numbers if you want to add my 239 pages to the total.


message 43: by [deleted user] (new)

I think we were aiming for 20000 which we achieved last time. I guess with the coming of spring days in the Northern Hemisphere people may be more outdoors.


message 44: by [deleted user] (new)

I will add your 239 anyway!

You did get 45 "Yes" replies to the event invitation. But only 31 here! Maybe people have not yet posted or forgotten to post... I'd give it another day yet:)
