Awesome effort..

Fabulous, love having you on board the Readathon :)
I updated my post with the total reading of the whole week end: 1060 pages. Not bad... a relaxing saturday and sunday after - and before! - a terrible working week
Still waiting for a few more people to update but I think we might be a bit off the target this month. Running total 12437

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.
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.

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:)

if you want to add mine:
178 The Fiend, by Margaret Millar
103 The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work
50 Shylock of the River, by Fergus Hume

I will give it a few more days and see what totals people bring!
If you didn't sign up on here but still know how much you read then please feel free to post.
Thanks Paola!

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.
