Pages Read Challenge 2009

PagesReadChallenge
So after organizing my challenges into a summary post, I decided to join a third one today--the Pages Read Challenge hosted by Kathrin at Secret Dreamworld of a Bookaholic. :-D But really, it's almost as if I'm cheating because this challenge is based on EVERYTHING I read this year.

Never having counted the number of pages read before, I'm taking a shot in the dark at what I think I'll read 1/1/09 - 12/31/09... 30,000 pages. We'll see how it goes! Take a look below to see how I'm doing...

  2. I joined blindly, too, having no idea how many I would read in a year. I guessed at 25,000. I'm already over 20,000 for the year. Oops! Maybe I'll join for a second time this year, and up guess a little bit. At the rate you're going, you'll definately meet your goal! Good luck!
