1,863 I think that's right. If i'm wrong just let me know. I'll readd when I update as well. :)
Welcome to the board (with a bang!) Kristen! Few things: we count partial tasks for partial points, so, for example, you finished 2/3 books for task 3.25 and got counted for 2/3 of the points (16.66). I figure, if you read it, it counts. Full points will also be counted on tasks that have an extra non-book portion, like reviewing, or like task 4.25, where you have to do a couple of extras. If the extras are not done at the end, I will deduct accordingly.And the GR pages don't quite match up with yours, I have you at 1874.

I saw Oingo Boingo in 1993, one of the best concerts I've ever been to. Was obsessed with Danny Elfman for a year after that. Did I say '93? God, I'm old!! :-)
Yeah, but there are times when Goodreads will say less pages than you've read, so it sort of balances. Just consider it a bonus!Finished up task 1.25 with Zan-Gah and the Beautiful Country (151 pages). Probably won't be finishing too many more, as I am heading in to Jane in June and my month is going to be pretty well taken up. I'm going to try for The Bermudez Triangle and The Beguilers, and maybe Wildwood Dancing (which I've been in the mood for, and which will be quick since it's a reread) and Thirteen Reasons Why (audio at least, since I'm going on a trip). We'll see...

Alright an update: My friend Sara was pushing me to read this book for task 1.10 - A Blue So Dark because I'm not big into realistic fiction. It was so-so. Probably not one I'd buy.
