@ Brooke and Mary - is it better for Brooke to up her page numbers before the 14 since she is above her goal already and be around that or just go over the limit. I don't know how it works for a better percentage?

I don't know how it works for a be..."I had asked when I realized I was getting close. She said at the time for me to leave it at 2000. I am glad to up it though.
The page goals don't matter as far as our points. What matters is the pages read vs the book goals we have. But you can up them if you want too. I will update pages tomorrow. I went out tonight and I'm too tired to do it now.
Corrected pages, updated pages. Upped Brooke's page goal to 3,000. Let me know if you want a different #. There's no penalty for not hitting your goal and no bonus for going over. So whatever you are comfortable with having. My pages for the 12th:
(my reading was all over the place yesterday)
Lover Enshrined-JR Ward: pgs 41-110
Ruthless Game-Christine Feehan: Discs: 1-2: 76 pgs
Forgotten Garden-Kate Morton disc 4: 121-160: 40 pgs
Kiss Me Deadly by Susan Kearney: pgs 1-90
