Hi oshizu! I’ve decided to withdraw from this challenge. It dawned on me today that this level of book record keeping is a bit too tedious for me. Good luck to everyone else in meeting their goals!

Not trying to change your mind, but I personally only post monthly updates for the challenges I join.

Your original post # is listed in the Participants List.
Also, you can always wait until you can update your progress from a non-mobile source.
I won't update reading progress until Jan 15, anyway.

@Fahad
Welcome to the group!
I'm confused by your update progress because, according to Goodreads, The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle averages 400-500 pages.
For this challenge, please wait until you have finished reading the entire book before posting your update for pages read.
Thank you!

Good luck to you!

Good luck to everyone else in meeting their goals!..."Regina - I am glad to see you are staying. I keep an MSWord Document on my computer to actually update and then just cut/paste at the end of the month into this challenge. ((I put the Goodreads Website and MSWord document side-by-side on my computer and just type up the "read" books from the previous month, save, cut, paste, viola. Done for another month.))
Happy Reading! :)
This year, I am going to attempt to keep track of HOW I read my books. (hard copy, Kindle, Audible.com, CD, or Overdrive) I tend to use the library for 99% of my reading so only hard copies and CD's count towards their circulation #'s. My little village has a very small library that my grandmother used to work at until she was 80. I'd like to support it as much as possible so the main library it is attached to doesn't consider shutting it down.
