Susy (susysstories) Updated #929

3449/7500 pages

Kadijah, can you please add me to the list? I've set a (modest) goal based on how much I've read thus far, cause I really haven't got a clue how much I can read in a year (after such a long period of not reading at all)....
Thank you!

Welcome to the challenge Susy :)
What I had done, because I had the same problem, was I went with an average of pages of books I wanted to read (500) and multiplied that to my original goal of 12 books and then I rounded up to 10k because it seemed like a nice number to push myself for :D

Kadijah Michelle (kadmich) | 2176 comments Everyone is updated that has set a goal. That is the first thing you must do to participate in this challenge.

Option 3 doesn't mean you count your pages as you go, it means that you can't be sure what you will read at the beginning of the year, so the number can be an estimate.

Thank you all for your patience.

Thank you Lisa.
Yes I'd thought of that too, but I knew there were some short books I wanted to read too (that was my back up plan if it seemed I wasn't going to reach my challenge of 12 books lol, bit cheating maybe, but intended to motivate me) and didn't want to set a too high a goal and get disappointed and demotivated. Also because work can be an overload and didn't know if I was going to be up to reading after work. So I've now set a tentative goal for now, I can always raise that or set a more challenging goal for next year ;P
