Hi AmberThe sum of 256+289+21+27+101+179+186+487 = 1,546
Hence the sum of 807, 410 +1,546 = 808, 956
I hope I got that right, isnt it?
I thought at first you MISSED the 21, Arathi. I don't know how I ended up with the figure I originally used.
Don't You Cry 320Portraits of the Dead 322
The Dead House 391
Last Breath 273
Watching Edie 304
1,610 + 809,391 = 811,001

811,392 + 2,953 = 814,345
Total should have been 820,839 + my 388 pages for The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins = 821,227

and The Shelters of Stone page 751 (finished 9/5)=1,968 pages
824,117+1,968=826,085
My original post had the page count on Dead With The Wind off by 2 (291 not 293) and my particular copy of The Shelters of Stone had 751 pages, rather than the 754 pages GR says it should have, so according to my revised calculations, the page #'s are correct.
Clammed Up = 375 pagesEngaged in Murder = 288 pages
Truly Madly Guilty = 415 pages
Here's to Us = 416 pages

I'm not sure our total is correct. Amber, you added in the same list of books twice. I'm assuming it was corrected page numbers, but you didn't subtract your original post before adding in the correct number??
It's a progress report, Terri.The Crediton Killings page 227
Out of Circulation: A Cat in the Stacks Mystery page 304 (finished 9/8)
Easy Weeknight page 104

830,650+1,306+831,956 pages
But if it's a progress report and you're totaling up the pages each time, aren't you essentially adding in the same pages each time? I mean, if you read 10 pages in a book since your last progress report it doesn't look like you're adding 10 pages to our total count. It looks like you're adding those 10 pages AND the previous pages you added last time all over again. Do you understand what I'm asking? Like you just added a thousand and some pages to our total count when in reality you may have only read a hundred or so since your last progress report.I guess I'm just confused why you don't add your total pages read after you finish the entire book. I'm truly not trying to be contrary with you. I honestly don't understand how you're adding in your actual pages read.
You guys crack me up! I do good to keep track of which BOOK I am reading and who the cast of characters is. Shoot me now if I ever try to keep track of pages.Hey T......... I think Amber is using the NEW MATH!!!! I use it all the time when I balance my checkbook, when it has missing checks.
Y'all simply amaze me.........
Christine and Jean.........do you girls keep track of your pages????
Little Black Dress by James Patterson - 108 pgsPumpkintown Perils: Book 1 by Aubrey Law - 262 pgs
832,320 + 370 = 832,690
All that's required is when you finish a book, note the number of pages in it, and add them to the running total here. Just be sure you are at the newest post in the thread.
Amber, I looked back at your posts since mid-July. I am confused as to what you are adding to the total. Are you adding all the pages you've read each day?It appears you are adding the same books over and over, which means duplication of pages you've read.
Please clarify things for us so we can keep an accurate total.
Right now, I don't have any faith in our total, but here's my latest.The Burning Air 336 pages
832,690 + 336 = 833,026
