Hi Mikayla this challenge is about getting you off to a good start. You can count the pages you read toward the pages part of your challenge and once you finish your book add it to your book total.

By the way, the chances that i keep my goal and finish Gone with the Wind are near zero, but i still try to make progress. (And it is the length that is keeping me from finishing, because it is a good book)

I really liked it. It had all my favorite characters, many of whom were missing from A Feast for Crows. But many threads left dangling there at the end... It'll be a long wait for the next one!

[Laura Tenfingers]

Just finished book 11/8, I guess I underestimated myself... The White Raven by Robert Low ★★★★★ 10th century Viking adventures through what is now Russia. Gritty and fun.
