The total should be 1,198,141 & I have used that total to add my pages .

1,204,325+1,016=1,205,341 pages
Uh, are you sure about that total, Sean? Because it looks closer to 1 billion, 207 million,180 thousand and 150 pages.
First I need to subtract a book because I counted it twice by accidentWinter Study - 469 pages
Add the books
Life of Pi - 460 pages
The Fall of Camelot - 143 pages
Watch Me Die - 384 pages
The Narrows - 436 pages
Booked To Die - 394 pages
The Nightingale - 440 pages
Burntown - 304 pages
460 + 143 + 384 + 436 + 394 + 440 + 304 = 2,561
1,207,180 - 469 = 1,206,711
1,206,711 + 2,561 = 1,209,272
Discover's 20 Things You Didn't Know About Everything: Duct Tape, Airport Security, Your Body, Sex in Space...and More! 336 pages1,209,672+336=1,210,008 pages
Since I read it already earlier this year, it's up to the thread admins to decide whether or not they want to add the 32 pages The Christmas Day Kitten by James Herriot again.
Amber, did you read it a second time? If so, I would say to add it because we're counting pages read and those are 32 additional pages that you read. JMO.
Good Me, Bad Me = 3381210008 + 338 = 1210346
I'm not sure if this is correct, if we are adding the other pages from Amber?
It's Always the Husband by Michele Campbell - 336 pages
Tear Me Apart by J.T. Ellison - 481 pages336 + 481 = 817
1,211,467 + 817 = 1,212,284

Since the prevailing opinion is for me to add it again, here's the breakdown:
The Christmas Day Kitten 32 pages
Asian Flavors Diabetes Cookbook: Simple, Fresh Meals Perfect for Every Day* 145 pages
Dark Chocolate Demise (Cupcake Bakery Mystery #7)** 284 pages
and The Prophecy of Death (Knights Templar #25)** 336 pages=797 pages
*My copy
**My copies and I also no longer count previews of other series by the same author or appendices like the ones in Tolkien's The Return of the King in my page count since I don't actually read the previews OR the info dump in the appendices! I have had quite enough of THAT with the Jean M. Auel Earth's Children series beginning with The Clan of the Cave Bear!
