Thanks to everyone who has posted their totals so far :) Looking good!! Glad you guys enjoyed it; whether lots of pages or not as many as you'd hoped - they all count and as long as you had fun, that's the main thing!!

SORRY! My mistake! I only read on Saturday, 336 pages, which I added to the previous totals of others, which resulted in 982. I thought we were supposed to do that. I wish that were my total, but it wasn't. Sorry about that!
