Please update!

It's been a while, but I've updated msg 33 with my current status:
Books read: 54
Total number of pages: 21475
Average: 397.69
See msg 33 for the list of books.
I'm ahead of schedule with the number of books, but since the average number of pages is lower than I planned, I will need to read a few more books to get to the planned number of pages.

Ebony, you're so close to your goal! Will you increase it or just see how far you get?

I just finished James Dashner's The Eye of Minds at 214 pages. That means I'm up to 5,352 out of 12,000. Thanks.

Book 19: [book:The Boxcar Children Beginning: The Aldens of Fair Meadow F..."
I enjoyed it, as a quick easy read (while also struggling to find time to read Outlander series, which while I'm loving I have a hard time devoting the time to). If you're into ... smut (I guess) and quick easy reads, I would recommend it.
