Okay, it took me reading things a couple of times to realize that the limit on # of tasks doesn't equal number of books! Being limited to 5 tasks doesn't mean I'm limited to hitting my page goal in only 5 books. Shew! That had me worried at first.... Feeling much better now.

Well, I will give this a whirl. I struggled to get through all of last year's Wheel of Bookshelves (when I usually just breeze through challenges), so I'm a little gun-shy. But I also love Tien's genius, so well, here I am!1. Number of pages per stage: 5,000 (this is just under 5% of 2018 pages)
2. 'Out of the Zone' goal: read considered classics or literary fiction
