Fall '20 Read-a-Thon: Miles of Pages
Rachel wrote: "9 hours and 15 minutes of an audiobook. No idea how to convert that into pages."
I had to look that up myself. A rough estimate is 2 minutes per page, or 25-30 pages per hour. Of course narration speeds vary, and so does print size, page size, etc. in print books. So 9 hours 15 minutes would be somewhere around 250 pages. You could also look at total pages for your book in print and see if you can tell what percentage you finished. If you actually read a book in print for 9 hours, you would probably read more than that, but narrators usually are quite a bit slower in their delivery.

Thanks for the estimate Robin! I will use that method since I'm feeling too lazy to do the actual conversion.

156 pages of If I Never Met You, and the remaining 3.5 hours of the audiobook for Since You've Been Gone
