Check on Blanca's again. It looks like she subtracted pages rather than adding them.

There was a book deleted because it was too new for the challenge. It was the post before yours.

It is. It was a typo. 🥴 I blame it on the cut in my index finger!

[Rosemarie, Northern Roaming Scholar]

After all the math calculations and corrections(thanks Piyangie, for noticing that) our new total is

697 806 pages.

[The Bibliophile Doctor]

Sorry for unrelated question. Just curious have we been able to finish the challenge last year? I'm unable to remember about last year.

Miss Brill by Katherine Mansfield - 40 pages

697,906 + 40 = 697,946

Group total = 697,946

[Rosemarie, Northern Roaming Scholar]

We did okay last year on the challenge but not great. In other words, we made a valiant effort but didn't complete the challenge.

This year has been fabulous!

[The Bibliophile Doctor]

Thanks Rosemarie. We will definitely be going to get our 700,000 this time.

I'm hoping I will be able to contribute some more.
