Kimberly, you're more than willing to join in, even with a small goal! You can also count any books you've read earlier in the year (before joining the group). I'll also pass along your interest in having this challenge again next year - we'll start thinking about 2016 before too terribly long.


How to Participate
1. Post here telling the challenge leader that you'd like to join the challenge. You can choose your books for the challenge at the beginning, or add them as you go. You can ..."
Hello there!
I was told I could jump in late, with a small number. I am new to 'recreational reading' and only have a goal of 3 to 4 books for the rest of this year so..
I'm going to set a goal of 1,000 pages before the end of 2015. I'm hoping this challenge goes up again next year, so I can set something higher.
I just finished The Forgotten Girls at 227 pages, so there's my first. :) Thanks.
