Catherine (madcatter) All- need a second opinion. I made it through 250 pages of Gone Girl and realized I just can't finish it. Do I count the pages for this challenge or not?


message 554: by Cassandra (new)

Cassandra | 5832 comments That's up to you, Cathy! Goodreads won't count them automatically, so you'll have to keep track of it yourself (if you aren't already). But you did read those pages, so I think it's fine to count them.

Leisa (weaer714) | 101 comments Thanks Cassandra! I'm a little behind in February, but hope I can get some reading time this weekend.

Cathy - I say yes! Count it. You did read those pages.

Thanks!

Marina wrote: "Wow, Bella, I'm impressed!!"

I want to say it's because I don't work at a "real" job, but I read about this much even when I worked full time. I guess it's because I read pretty fast, don't watch TV, do Facebook, etc. (If I'm not interrupted, I can read a 300-350 page paperback in about 2-3 hours.) It also helps that I get up an hour or more before everyone else and I get to read undisturbed.


Susan (dalmatian21) (dalmatian21) | 405 comments Book 1: Death, and the Girl He Loves 272 pages
Book 2: Top Secret Twenty-One 305 pages
Book 3: Princess in Pink - audio book 275 pages
Book 4: Lord John and the Private Matter 368 pages
Book 5: The Custom of the Army 76 pages
Book 6: Don't Go - audio book 374 pages

1670/15000 pages.


message 589: by Marina (new)

Marina (sonnenbarke) That's great Bella! You're right, watching TV or hanging round on Facebook and similar can really take a lot of time you could use on reading instead. I have to learn to do that, too :-)


message 590: by Erin (new)

Erin (gringuitica) | 10 comments Me me me! I also have some doozies planned for this year, so page count is more telling than total book count.

I'll start with a goal of 20,000 pages.


message 591: by Cindy (new)

Cindy | 38 comments I just finished The Physician.

My new total would be 2,348/ 12,500

Marina (sonnenbarke) Insurgent (Divergent, #2) by Veronica Roth Brave New World by Aldous Huxley La leggenda del santo bevitore by Joseph Roth L'arte della guerra by Sun Tzu
