Angela, welcome to the challenge! If you really don't want to set a goal, that's fine, but it might be nice to have something to work toward. If you find that your goal is too high or too low, you can always adjust it later. Do you feel like these three months have been representative of your usual reading pace? If so, you're averaging around 3,211 pages per month, which across the whole year would be 38,536 pages. Hope that helps a little bit!Welcome, Barry!
well, my reading pace can go from 20 books a month to 0 books a month^^ last year there were long time periods where i didn't read at all. i'll set my goal at 25.000 for now, maybe that's an achievable one for me. we'll see :)
