Kimberley (trillianne) | 24 comments 15. A Quiver Full of Arrows by Jeffrey Archer 288 pages (total 4404 pages)

16. Thomas the Tank Engine The Complete Collection by W. Awdry 416 pages (total 4820 pages) bedtime stories for my son, I still read the lot so still counts

17. The World of Pooh The Complete Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner (Pooh Original Edition) by A.A. Milne 314 pages (total 5134 pages) bedtime stories for my son, I still read the lot so still counts

So running totals are 5134 of which 730 are sons bedtime books. I don't think I'll have near as many as most but will be happy if I make it to 10,000 pages this year

Kim, 10,000 pages is a great aim especially when you are busy (I don't know how you've found the time to read close to 6,000 pages already! In your shoes I'd pobably have mananged about 1000 + bedtime stores - so about 3000 then, LOL). When I started this I had planned to make 10,000 pages my goal but have revised it to 20,000 to 25,000 now!

Kimberley (trillianne) | 24 comments I know what you mean, my time is tight so I will be happy if I make it, if I find I surpass it then next year I will set a higher one, like I am doing with my book count. It is currently week 25 and I've done 19 books so have a bit of catching up to do to complete a book a week but I try.

message 10: by Kimberley (new)

Kimberley (trillianne) | 24 comments Firstly - The Harry Potter I picked up from a charity shop whilst I was away (personal business), I have read the last 4 Harry Potters so thought it would keep me occupied and I could at least complete the series.
I am now about 3/4 of my way through the second one (please don't think badly of this choice, it was an easy read and kept me occupied)

Next I have another to add to my list

23. The Awakening (The Vampire Diaries, #1)  by L.J. Smith 240 pages (total 7409 pages)
