The most I've ever read in one month. Thanks Blagica for running this busy marathon challenge with us!

Message 3 updated: 8/8

1462 pages total out of my goal of 1000. 6 books completed and 2 books partially read.

I need to recheck the editons but based on my circa calculations
I more than surpassed my goal of 1000 pages.
I read aprox 1850 pages: (I Think)
The Book of M
Still Alice
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
She Has her Mother's Laugh

Thankyou so much Blagica for doing such an amazing job with this challenge, and keeping up with all of us! :-D
The Magician's Nephew (221 pages)
The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe (206 pages)

8/9 books 2563/3200 pages
I am still reading book #9 which is a big one, but not big enough to hit 3200 pages. I knew 3200 pages was a bit ambitious. I am more than half way through book #9, but I won't finish it today. Will post it when I finish.

Turned 1665/2100 pages and read 6/10 novels. Fell a tad short, but onwards to February!
1) Merciful Fate by Kendra Elliot: 359 pgs (Love this author's Mercy series)
2)Tea and Destiny by Sherryl Woods: 512 pgs
3)Merciful Silence by Kendra Elliot: 344 pgs 5*****
4)Two Henrys by Kevin Allison: 35 pgs
5) The Billionaire's Arranges Baby by Rochelle Williams: 191 pgs
6) An Honorable Seduction by Brenda Jackson: 224 pgs

I didn't make it. I guess I was a little over-ambitious. :D
Thank you for running this challenge. It was a fun way to start the year!

Final result: 6/10
Didn't complete the challenge but had some great reads. Thanks for hosting!

Duration: January 1 - January 31, 2019
Goal: 10 Books
1. The Grownup, Gillian Flynn
2. The Last Man Standing, Davide Longo
3. Down Among the Sticks and Bones, S..."
thanks :D

9/9 books; 3093/3200
This finishes my challenge. I came closer to the page count than I thought I would, but I knew it was an ambitious target for a single month.
