February Read-a-thon!

Over 150 million Valentine’s Day Cards are exchanged each year. For our February read-a-thon we are going to send Valentine’s by reading. Each page you read during this challenge will send one Valentine. While we won’t hit 150 million, let’s see if we can hit 20,000.

This will start on February 21st (starting at your midnight time zone) and will end on February 28th (ending at your midnight time zone).

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

You can post your progress any way you like, whatever works best for you.
