La_mariane | 198 comments Hello! I'm joining this challenge (a bit late) and I plan to read 6 000 pages in 2020.

I'm also updating at the same time.

I've read 10 books in January, 5 comic books and 5 novels : the reading stats page tells me it adds up to 1974 pages read! Not bad at all for me!

So 1 974/6 000.

@Dominique
I'll be doing a full update of the Participants List on February 15th, so please post another comment before then with your current progress, friend!

I will not be checking original (sign-up) posts for Let's Turn Pages.
On the plus side, I aim to update everyone's progress twice a month.

I'm glad you like the idea! I hope to see every participant eventually evolve into Sprites, at least!
By the way, your current progress is 1,974/6,000. It's only Feb 1st and you're only one-third finished with your yearly goal!
Maybe you'll need to raise your goal later, hey? 😉

Thanks! The plan is to start small, and up my goals as I go along. That's if everything goes well and I don't get into one of my terrible reading slumps. But I'm sure this group will be good at keeping me motivated and on tracks :)

@Amy

The Let's Turn Pages aims to motivate its participants to reach their Goodreads Reading Challenge goal by counting the pages turned for books that they've finished reading (hence, the book list in your original post or Member's Corner).

In the spirit of this challenge's design, the pages turned for ultimately unfinished books and for books that are DNF'ed do not count.
My advice would be to quickly skim your Kindle samples to decide which books get your green light.
