Michelle Kay's comments from the The Book Challenge group.

i've read 25/50 books so far
and 8945/1,000,000 pages.

so i'm halfway through my book goal, but i'm not sure if i'll hit my pages goal before my book goal, so i'm most likely going to have to stive to accomplish more than 50 books this year.

22/50 books
8507/1,000,000 pages.

getting closer!!

For my personal reading goals, i've read

20/50 books
7527/1,000,000 pages

with that rate i'm sure you'll get in your 75 books!
