Let's Turn Pages - 2019


That's a thousand a month, sounds do-able enough, but I was not anywhere near that number for last year—and if we go by my average book length for last year, 30 books isn't going to cut it either. I've got some doorstoppers on my shelves though.
I count my pages read each day in an excel sheet, so pages read for each month doesn't necessarily correlate with the page count for the books finished that month.
Will update this on a monthly basis I think.
