Can 1,500,000 Pages Be Read In 2016?
Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari = 277 pages 258,291 + 277 = 258, 318 pages
17.2% done! We'd better step it up! We need to hit 25% by end of month to be on track!
258,318 + 300 + 415 = 259,033
I couldn't find the appropriate edition to Gone Girl for my correct amount of pages so I just used one of the closest ones and put my correct amount read in here. Does that happen often to anyone else?
A Gentleman's Game. 528 pagesCircle of Friends. 722 pages
Dragon Tears. 432 pages

Happens a lot for me. Since GR is owned by Amazon, there are rarely Nook editions listed. Nook page counts vary from lower or higher than the listed Ebook total. For instance, my Nook showed 27 pages for The Unique Hamlet: A Hitherto Unchronicled Adventure of Mr. Sherlock Holmes but the Ebook edition listed here on GR is 46 pages. I use the actual Nook count when I post here. I assume the difference in count has to do with the default type face, margins, etc on the Nook format. It may also be specific to the Nook Samsung Tab E device.

Gary the total you must add to is 260,715. The number you used was from two postings ago. I've done this so many times. Postings aren't always updated.
260,715+300+415=261,430

I appreciate the effort, but I was just responding to a prior post, not adding a page count. Amy added her pages to the correct amount as did Diane Lynch. I was just commenting on the difficulty in using the appropriate edition to get correct page counts.
Thank you! I brought it up in another thread as well and they told me you can try the ISBN or add your own edition. I'm going to try those when I have time. Correct total to use 260,715

I may do the same, but not sure how to add the cover picture.
[296 pages] [5 Stars] [03.21.16]
[544 pages] [4 Stars] [03.22.16]
261,419 + 296 + 544 = 262,259
I'm a bit confused with the totals but I'm pretty sure the correct total now is 263,305.
The Guilty by David Baldacci 263,305 + 418 = 263,723
We seem to have gone astray again, as posts 517 and 518 posted at the same time and added to the same total 260,715 + 1342 (from post 517) = 262,057
262,057 + 704 (from post 518) = 262,761
262,761 + 840 (from post 520) = 263,601
263,601 + 418 (from post 522) = 264,019
Current total = 264,019
Uncle Trev's Teeth: And Other Stories by Jack Lasenby 216 pages
Preserve The Dead by Brian McGilloway 309 pages = 525 pages264,298 + 525 = 264,823
I love looking at all the books people are reading. We sure cover the spectrum of genres in this group!

We got off back on post # 510. Correct Total is: 269,100
We are only at 75% of our goal average. We should be at 356,557 pages. Out of the 42 total people who have posted this year, only 28 have posted in March. There are at least 5 folks who posted in Jan, but have not posted since.
We are doing better than last year for number of people posting - only 22 of a total of 35 people posted in March last year.
We were closer to our goal average however = last year on today's date, we were at 81.57% of the goal.
We are 74,661 pages ahead of last year - but with the increased goal, we are further behind.
