Sandy wrote: "My Sister's Grave by Robert Dugon = 402 pages 1,284,320 + 402 = 1,284,722
The Theft of Swords by Michael J. Sullivan = 664
1,284,722 + 664 = 1,285,386"
First post and I think I picked up the wrong number to start - shoot. Any thoughts on how to correct this?
Maybe if we add Israt's number in again - the post before mine? Sorry everyone!
The Gods of Guilt 416The Black Echo 482
Personal 369
The Black Ice 388
All Dressed in White 482
Home 389
Behind Closed Doors 351
Night School 397
Make Me 416
Total: 1,285,362 + 3690 = 1,289,052

1,287,781 + 268 = 1,288,049
Maybe someone can double check?"
you are right Terri
That's why, I try my best to make sure I'm on the CURRENT page when I post my totals.Can we do it? There's just 11 more days in the year.
That must have been what I did - so sorry - I will do better next book. Do books that you listen to count for pages read?
My total to date this year is 60,042.However, I can't list them out and I want to be certain I haven't already given you a partial total. I don't know how to check.
If this is too much trouble just delete me. :-)
Zip
We lost 5 pages back in message 1965, which I will fix here. Total is 1,296,893.Zippergirl, I can quickly check the pages in this thread to see if you've reported any previous books. I'll do that tomorrow when I'm on my computer. I'll add your pages when I'm done checking.
Shatter 496 pages
1,296,803 + 496 = 1,297,299
I found no posts by Zippergirl prior to Message 1973 above, so I'm adding her total pages.1,301,146 + 60,042 = 1,361,188

You post a link to your 2016 Challenge, which will show a thumbnail of the cover of every book you're read this year, except for books you've read that are NOT in the database.
You're awesome, Brenda! Truly! And nice of you to help explain to her Amber...I was on here for a year before I used it, because I had no idea the key to the site was joining groups. lol I just thought it was a database app to keep track of your books 8-(
With people's help we all get to be more integrated. :-)

how did you get the total number of pages again - sorry I can't find the info here previously.
Sandy, on any Goodreads page, click on My Books in the tan bar at the top of the page. In the page that opens, to the right of the Search box there is a link that says Stats. Click that. It opens a page showing the books you've read by year. There is a button to click on that shows Pages. That will give you your total pages for 2016. I believe the total includes only books you've marked as "Read" and have set a "Date Read."
Cold Hearted 403 pages The Ancient curse 256 pages Queen of Shadows 656 pages403+256+656 = 1342 + 1,361,188= 1,362,530
Under a silent moon 368 pages, Silent Killer 420 pages, Black guard 640 pages , Day Shift 400 pages 368+420+640+400 = 1828 + 1,362,530 = 1,364,358

1,370,320 + 428 = 1,370,748
So this year I have 43,063 to date but I already counted a number of books in the past few weeks. Let me try to find them all.previously counted Zero Day 434
Thread and Gone 290

Added to 1,371,036 + 40,765 = 1,411,801.
