The book pages we post need to be from Classics that fit NTLTRC standards. Unfortunately Shubham I do not think these qualify. Have you read any Classics 50 years and older this year? We would love to add those read pages to our group total!

Not sure if a book qualifies? Check out the guidelines here:

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Most Classics are 50 years
YA/Children are 40 years
FWC are 30 years

Thank you again for all your post to our totals! How exciting this is!
