Checking in!

How is everyone doing so far?

[Sam, Supreme Ruler]

My goal for this year is Cypress-55,000 pages and I am at 46,250! I think ill be able to go a little over my goal!

[Shannon]

My goal is Cypress - 55,00 as well, but currently I'm only at 25,197 because I had a little reading slump over the summer. Maybe I can try and catch up over the fall/winter

You can do it!

[Sam, Supreme Ruler]

WOW! Not only have I beat my number of books goal (currently at 132 and my goal was 120), I've surpassed my pages goal! I set Cypress-55,000 pages as my goal and I am currently at 58,324!

[Edie]

My goal is to get to Apple Tree. Currently at 36,192 which gets me to Fiddleleaf Fig, closing in on Dwarf Peach. Apple tree at 45K is clearly doable and I may get to Eastern Redbud at 50K.
