Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 1885 comments I'm in for a third time! I'll go for 8 and do Mor-book-ly Obese.

I found several items on the Internet that say 200 location numbers on a Kindle are equivalent to 10 - 11 pages. When no hardback or paperback editions are available for reverence, I'll covert with the lower number.

Melissa - you could have just read the 3 Game of Thrones book for that level - because it's 8 books over 450 pages OR 3 books over 800 pages each.

You actually finished it a while ago!!!

8/8 read



1..."


You're absolutely right but I was committed to 8 books in my mind as a challenge for myself,lol. Stupid on my part I know *shaking my head/laughing*

And I had already read 3 "longer" books....
We'll see what I decide next year as I'm doing the Outlander series challenge in another group which will work for this as well.....

I did them as a buddy read which made it somewhat "easier" and I use that term loosely cuz a couple of those books got thrown around a lot while I was reading them. I'll be doing A Dance With Dragons in January
