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!

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.

Amy (thenikitagirl) | 636 comments 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.

Brenda | 2434 comments 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."

message 1992: by Sandy (last edited Dec 22, 2016 07:16PM) (new)

Sandy | 188 comments 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
Theft of Swords 664
My sisters Grave 402
Wool 508

so I have to subtract 2298 from my total which leaves 40,765.
Added to 1,371,036 + 40,765 = 1,411,801.

If someone wants to check my figures I would appreciate it.
