An Abundance of Books discussion

THE 10.000 PAGES CHALLENGE 2014
Duration: January 1st - December 31st

Can you read 10.000 pages in a year?
Instead of counting books I thought we should count pages instead! If you want to set your goal lower or higher that's completely fine.

I'm in :D

I just finished reading my first book. It was Spirit Bound by Richelle Mead. I started in in 2013 so not all of the pages count but my count is now 326 pages :)

Are we counting words or pages? Pages right?

I'm in too

Oh it was PAGES, Sorry!!! My mistake :þ

So I fixed the first post but if any of you would rather find a way to count words instead of pages it is completely fine by me :)

I'll do it. Do we just comment every time we finish a book?

I forgot to post the pages from The Hollow when I finished it, and I just finished Ascension- the first book of The Water trilogy.
