Eggbeater Impressive job!!!🎉😙 5y
BeansPage @julesG @jb72 @JazzFeathers @Andrew65 @Megabooks @Eggbeater thank you so much my friends. Your encouragement means so much to me ❤️🤗❤️ I really think I outdid myself this time. Now next time if I want to hit a higher goal I think I'm screwed 😂😂😂 5y
Andrew65 @TheReadingMermaid What about 31 hours and 14 minutes. 😂 That‘s at least 30 seconds more. A lot depends on the timing of the Readathon, how you are feeling (not just you, but any of us), tiredness levels and what else is going on. July, August, December, possibly March (depending when Easter is) will always be my best Readathons. (edited) 5y
Andrew65 And possibly October‘s. All linked to school holidays. 5y
Andrew65 Can I just check are we doing the August Readathon on 23 - 25 August? 5y
BeansPage @Andrew65 this is so true and you are so very right. August and September will probably be good months for me as well. But once we had October the busy season starts up again (for me anyway). 5y
BeansPage @Andrew65 yes it will be the 23rd through the 25th. I would have liked to do it on the very last weekend but unfortunately there's no Sunday. Sunday starts the next month. 5y
Andrew65 @TheReadingMermaid once you get to November tiredness as the school year progresses starts to hit me more. 5y
Andrew65 @TheReadingMermaid That‘s actually better for me as we will be driving most of Saturday night - Sunday night on 31st / 1st (500+ mile journey in the motorhome) and getting ready for the new term that starts on 2nd around this. I will be able to contribute more around the earlier weekend. How about making it an end of Summer (Winter in Southern Hemisphere) Special Readathon and doing it over the Friday - Monday. I know the Monday is a Bank Holiday. (edited) 5y
Andrew65 🖕for us. 5y
BeansPage @Andrew65 I like the idea! I have not made up the poster yet so how exactly would it run? 5y
Andrew65 @TheReadingMermaid I would say exactly like we did for the New Year one, think that was five days. Same target 24 hours but over the four days from Friday - Monday (4 days). This would allow (Hopefully) more people to get to 24 hours and enjoy the Summer. (edited) 5y
Andrew65 Could we target some Summer Time Books, books that take place in the Summer, Beach Reads, Summer in the title, etc. (edited) 5y
BeansPage @Andrew65 and what should we call it my dear? I'm going to make up the poster right now 😁 5y
Andrew65 That‘s where my creativity ends 😂😂😂🙈 #Summer24B4Tuesday #EndofSummer24B4Tuesday??? Possibly prefer the first one. If not want to exclude the Southern Hemisphere #EndofSeason24B4Tuesday? 5y
Andrew65 Possibly prefer this one.... #AugustSpectacular24B4Tuesday (edited) 5y
BeansPage @Andrew65 or we could always keep the hashtag for less confusion #24B4Monday and just label it as a special edition "End of Summer" or "August Spectacular". What do you think? 5y
Andrew65 @TheReadingMermaid Yes good idea to keep the #24B4Monday tag. I think possibly August spectacular so people in the Southern Hemisphere (and we had a few of them this time) don‘t feel excluded. Felt this Readathon had the most involvement and some of the highest totals we have seen so good to build on that. 5y
BeansPage @Andrew65 I totally agree. And I want everybody to feel like they are included in this. So August Spectacular it is!!! 🎉 5y
BeansPage @Andrew65 and yes let's focus on summer reads this next time around. I think that's a good theme and I think it would be a lot of fun. 5y
Andrew65 @TheReadingMermaid 🎉🥳🎊🍾🥂 Roll up , roll up for the August Spectacular! 5y
Andrew65 Now need to deal with my post Readathon blues and try and do some reading. 4.40 pm and not read one page. 😳😔 5y
BeansPage @Andrew65 I don't get the luxury of having post read-a-thon blues. I have to read the rest of NOS4A2 before Wednesday. 😱😲 5y
Andrew65 @TheReadingMermaid 😂 Perhaps that‘s what I need, another target. As you will have noticed I am very target driven.good luck with the read. 5y
BeansPage @Andrew65 and good luck with yours my friend ❤️🤗❤️ 5y
Andrew65 @TheReadingMermaid Thanks 😘❤️ 5y
