I've been in a reading slump lately. This seems like the perfect opportunity to get back into the swing of things! To leave it more open for myself, I'm going for just pages and not setting a specific book goal. Any words of encouragement are appreciated! I'm only a few books away from being halfway to my yearly goal :)

Challenge Goal: 2,500 pages
