I've never counted how many pages I've read in a year before, and I'm shocked. I never thought I'd get this far. I'll definitely be doing this for 2016. Hopefully I can keep breaking my goals!

Just saw this. Was busy reading. :) I wake up at 4 a.m. to read before going to the gym and then I read when I have down time at work (which is a lot at times). I also read right before I go to bed for at least a couple of hours. So, ya, I read a lot!

Not finishing as much this month because I'm getting started on January since I've already reached my goal for this year.

The Last of the Mohicans finished 14-Dec 415 pages
Flat-Out Love finished 20-Dec 389 pages

[ChrisP]

I was really hoping to get to 40,000. I might be able to get another 1,000 read by year end but it looks like I'm going to fall short. Next year I will get to it:)

Goal: 37,540/40,000

An Update from Gwen:

So far total pages read: 26,694/ 35,000...

Thank you for keeping track of my pages turned over the past four months. However, I noticed that two of my books read were without a number of pages, so here they are:

My Dearest Cal by Sherryl Woods - 256 pgs

The Leger Connection by Estelle Ryan- 318 pgs

Kudos on a job well done, "Thank you!"
Wishing you and the other moderators a Happy New Year!

[Cassandra]

Congratulations, Neville!

No worries, Ashish - that happens. Hopefully you read some good books this year anyway!

Tereza - this challenge ends in just a few days (with the end of the year) but we're doing it again in 2016. Sign up here and let me know how many pages you'd like to aim for.

Thanks, Gwen! We're glad you had fun.

[Melissa]

Updated meddage 1147.

Seems like I'm finishing this year with 27,593 pages

[Cassandra]

Leisa, it's possible that your post number is changing, although I think that would only happen if posts before yours are getting deleted. That seems somewhat unlikely, but who knows! It might be some Goodreads weirdness. I'm sure it's not just you, though.

Melissa, congratulations for hitting your updated target!

[Overbooked ✎]

It's already afternoon of New year eve and I've finished my reads for this year.

Final update and total for 2015 82,240/40,000

my 2015 reads

Thanks Cassandra for this challenge, It has been great!

[Ashish]

Cassandra wrote: "What did you think of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms?"

Really liked it. The novellas are set 10-15 years after the Blackfyre Rebellion, similar to how A Song of Ice and Fire is set against the backdrop of Robert's Rebellion, so there are numerous references to it throughout. It ends up giving you quite a bit of context into Targaryen rule.

A good addition to the series, I would say. It has all of the political intrigue and vivid characterization you would expect from Martin, though on a smaller scale than in Game of Thrones et al.

[Felicia]

My final update for the year:

I have read 380 pages of The Amber Spyglass. I have 137 pages left.

Adding the 380 pages to my total so far, I end this year and this challenge with:

9164 pages read out of a goal for 8000 :D

I'm going for 10.000 next year!

[Marina]

My last reads of 2015:



Total: 35,199/30,000

[Angelique]

Alas, didn't manage to read as much as I wanted (having a new boyfriend costs a lot of reading time). But according to Goodreads I have read 82 books, with a total of 35074 pages, which averages 427 pages per book.

So 35,074/46,800 :-(
