Welcome to the challenge, Carolyn!

Do you total the pages for all participants at the end of the year? Would be cool to see how many pages we all read.

Thanks, Cassandra! I have updated my post. Is this the best way to let you know when I have updated it?

Jackie, it's easiest for me if you post a new message with your new total. If you just let me know that you did update, I need your post number to go take a look. Does that make sense?

You can now specify which days of the week you read and it will take that into account when doing it's calculations.
For example, I read technical books at work. So I only read those on weekdays. Given I spend 15 minutes per day reading a tech book and read about 15 pages each time (depending on the book of course), I can now see when I'll finish.
Let me know if you have any feedback!
