Rachael Mazurczak Pgs 131-282 done so far today reading "Behind the Scenes at the Museum"... That's 151 pages for me so far.

Rachael, in the comment box it says "add book/author". Click on that and follow the prompts - you'll find the book appears in your box quite easily once you get the hang of it:)

Behind the Scenes at the Museum there's your book!

Well done too:)

Wow well done Carolyn:) I don't think I'll have to read any more this weekend with the amount that is being reported already;)


message 117: by Melanie (new)

Melanie Well done Carolyn, you are a machine.

I wished I could read faster but if I try I skim read and miss parts.

Everyone is doing fantastically. Keep up the good work.

Only managed so much because I had the day off today after a series of long busy days at work so have enjoyed catching up on some reading! (I didn't have much else on except a bit of shopping and a trip to the vets with a sick cat.)

It's great isn't it! I'm at 52% on the kindle book I'm reading so will wait to finish before I add pages for it:)

The one I am currently reading on kindle does show pages (some do but not many) if you highlight the bottom line on the page and then press menu. However it says there are 634 pages and on Goodreads both the paper book and the kindle book show 580 something pages. I will just record what Goodreads says anyway:)

It depends on what size font you are using Phrynne...bigger font more pages etc.
