The goal is 40,000 pages across the board. Any book that you finish between March 15th-31st is eligible to count towards the page goal including graphic novels, and comics. For audiobooks, please post either the % you've finished each day or the most rated page count when you finish.

What you need to do in order to participate:
Step 1 - Sign up on this thread!
Step 2 - Post your progress each day!
Step 3 - Have fun and read lots of good books!

Q: How do I post my progress for each day?

No, you don't need to do a post for every day. You can do one giant post and update it when you can.


Jamie  (The Kansan Reader) (thekansanreader) So far today I've read 39 pages of Bread of Angels by Tessa Afshar .

Today is a reading rut kind of day. While I have good books I'm reading, I don't want to pick anything up.


message 12: by Trina (new)

Trina (duskvamp) | 21 comments Ok so I know I'll be doing more reading but as it sits at this moment I have read 58 pages of Red Havoc Rebel (Red Havoc Panthers, #2) by T.S. Joyce

Should we be doing a single post we update throughout the challenge or posting each days in separate comments?

Been there before! I, unfortunately, have had so many meetings so it's like I'm reading but not at my normal speed.

I don't know if it's this week with the time change or something else, but I have been in a sluggish mood all week.

Also forgot to post last night but I read some of my ARC In Feast or Famine (The Egyptian Chronicles, #2) by Mesu Andrews . I don't have page numbers but I read from 40% to 51%.

ooo what are you watching on netflix? I'm behind on so many shows lol


message 21: by Michelle (new)

Michelle | 64 comments It was all over the show. I watched Outlander . Then because I'm watching the new Star trek Picard I'm watching Star trek :next generation. And then the Korean Marriage contract. I was basically just watching whatever tickled my fancy. Nothing really. But I see the new shadow and bones and sex/life and I'm trying not to start those.
