I usually just divide the number of pages by the number of sections (usually those are about equally long). It’s not 100% accurate as some books will have shorter and longer sections but it’s good enough for me. I also tend to try to start a new audiobook on the first day, but this time that seems unlikely because I just started a ten hour one and I don’t think I’ll finish it by the end of tomorrow.
I'm in - even if I'm usually a lot "out" these days!!!
I'll be at the seaside from tomorrow evening, for wo days. Hope I'll be able of reading a bit then!
Tot 670
Not bad for a busy week end!

*An easy way to keep track is using the Currently Reading feature on Goodreads, entering your page number at the end of each day. **For those who read by eReader, take the page number which shows for paperback/hardcover here on Goodreads for your total. Calculate by percentage to work out your page number read.
***For audio listeners, check out how many pages the book has on Goodreads, then divide that number by how many CDs or hours it is to give you an idea of pages per time. Don't forget to post your totals of daily or full weekend tally on the thread.
