Ya know, I think we will :)
Trina wrote: "Wow we have done amazing"
I think so, too.
Damn. We should prolly have made it even higher. Is this the 1st time we've done this challenge? If so, is this normal? Does it usually drop off later in the challenge or not?
Mod
As far as I know, this is the first time we've done this type of challenge. I'm hoping that it won't drop off. I'm hoping that others will want to join in the fun.
A little late getting this in, but here's my Week 2 report.June 9 - 14
Rebel Born - 315 pages
Black Butler, Vol. 1 - 192 pages
Total: 507 pages
Lanelle, I'm hoping we don't drop off either. For me, it helps that you had us set a personal weekly goal. I may have to adjust mine as we get into the lazy hazy days of summer, but I always have that weekly goal in mind. I think 400,000 is do-able though. It looks like we're a great group of overachievers! : )
