Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments This is similar to our monthly book count. We will be doing both of them. Everytime you finish a book, you will post the book in that folder and the page amount in this folder.

We will be using this to see how many total pages we can read together as a group in each month. This will start in December!

If for instance, you start a book late in one month and then finish in the next, you may include all pages. So say you read 40 pages in November and the rest in December you can still put those 40 pages towards this.

Now, I know many people read ebooks. Pages can be hard to calculate when reading this type of book. On Amazon, when you go under the ebook version of the book, under where the prices and book description is listed, the real page amount is listed. This can definitely help! Please do not use Goodreads page amounts because they are sometimes incorrect (which I know because of past experiences.) I nicely ask all of you to please check Amazon when posting the page amount of your books. This will make it much easier for me and it won't be too much changing.

When posting your page amount, put the cover of your book with page numbers and then add them to the last number. For example,

Message #1: Me and Earl and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews
Pages: 304
Total: 304

Message #2: Divergent (Divergent, #1) by Veronica Roth
Pages: 501
Total: 805

Any questions? Make sure to post them below.

Ratings (1 out of 5 stars) and the date you finished the book has to be included! Book reviews are optional. If you do decide to write one link it below the books. Thanks!

Gisbelle | 25787 comments no rating needed?


message 3: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new)

Trisha | 30284 comments or date finished?


message 4: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments I think she might be busy now. Anyway, it's always good to post rating and date read. I am sure J will include it :)


message 5: by Beatrice (new)

Beatrice (beatricemasalunga) How about book review? Is it optional?


message 6: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments Maybe a link to the review you write here on GR after you finish.


message 7: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments Yes, a rating and date finished is supposed to be included. I'm very sorry! I was very busy while trying to post this! You do not have to do a review but if you do, just link the website below your books! Thanks!


message 8: by Jalyn (new)

Jalyn (jalynnie) What if I started a book in November, but didn't finish it until December? Do I count the pages I've read in December? Or not include that book at all?


message 9: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new)

Trisha | 30284 comments You would list the whole book in the page count (see paragraph three above)

:) Yay!! I love seeing our total climb quickly!!!

J said she only wanted to include the pages that you read in the month. So not count from previous month. Lucky for me I finished my books from last month, except Daughter of Smokes and Bones.


message 11: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new)

Trisha | 30284 comments but up above it says

"If for instance, you start a book late in one month and then finish in the next, you may include all pages. So say you read 40 pages in November and the rest in December you can still put those 40 pages towards this."

you include all, right?


message 12: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments It'd be hard to estimate if you read e format :) So she said Yes... lol.. She has changed the rules and I forgot to reread :)


message 13: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments How are we counting our ebook reads? Do you count the pages it says or the number of pages in the paperback? I think the page counts on NOOKs and Kindles are even different.


message 14: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new)

Trisha | 30284 comments this is what she put above

"Now, I know many people read ebooks. Pages can be hard to calculate when reading this type of book. On Amazon, when you go under the ebook version of the book, under where the prices and book description is listed, the real page amount is listed. This can definitely help!"

does that help?


message 15: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments Jalyn, you would count the pages you read in November towards this as well!

Thanks so much Trisha for helping while I was away!

Vicki, you can just search it up on Amazon!


message 16: by EJ (new)

EJ | 11 comments How do you post the book cover itself when submitting your pages?


message 17: by Trisha, lives on coffee (last edited Dec 03, 2012 03:44PM) (new)

Trisha | 30284 comments when you go to type into a comment box, there is a writing just above the box that says "add book/author"

click on that. You can then select your book (type in the name). Below where you type in, you have the option to either post a "link" or "cover". Just click cover.

I hope that helps!


message 18: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments You are good at answering those questions, Trisha. Thanks. Very helpful :)


message 19: by Jalyn (new)

Jalyn (jalynnie) Are you going to total up each person's total pages read like you guys do with total books read for the monthly book count?


message 20: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments Yes! It's kind of tricky to do updates during the month so I will just do total pages at the end!


message 21: by Jalyn (new)

Jalyn (jalynnie) Ok. Thanks :)


message 22: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments You're welcome!


message 23: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments Thanks for that J. It is not easy to go through those numbers again.


message 24: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new)

Trisha | 30284 comments wow! Ugh, I hope it wasn't me! I'm so scared of messing up our numbers! LOL! I know a couple of us tried to correct numbers as we saw them go off....


message 25: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments Maybe it was me :P I am so bad at numbers!


message 26: by Ariel (new)

Ariel (allthebookfeels) | 418 comments I always worry about messing up too D:


message 27: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments I'm sure it is ok. No one would have done it on purpose :)


message 28: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments No, it wasn't any of you, I actually forget who it was but it was on the second page! Thank God I caught it because there was like an 1,000 page difference!

message 46: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments Hey J, I think it'd be great if you create another thread to keep track of how many pages we have read. You know, to see how many months it'll take us to read 1 million pages :)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments Awesome! I'll create them now!
