Let's Turn Pages Challenge - 2015

Books read: 11
Total number of pages: 3599
Average: 327.18.
My average is still a bit too low for my liking because the old fairy tales are only a few pages. But I'll read a few doorstoppers in February and that should get me back on track.

EDIT: Oof, nasty typo. Sorry to misspell your name, Silja! I'm usually a stickler for double-checking name spelling. :(


I just edited message #13 to include my finish of The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany.
