Welcome Kaitlin. Will get you added to the list. :)

My count for January and today is 3359/40000! :) I have some big books waiting for me so I think I could do better in the next months.

Sorry about posting so late I wanted to see how much I read for January before setting my goal. January's pages were 4,674. I'll set my goal for 50,000 pages.

Sorry about posting so late too! I'm going to set my goal for 30,000 pages. Wish me luck! :-)

January's Progress: 2640/30,000

Good Luck! Looks like you'll have it done easily.

I'll push for 50,001

I'm sorry. I didn't understand that we were to update after each book. I can correct mine tomorrow, it's no problem if it will help you. Might even help me...lol.

No need to apologize! You update the best way for you to keep up with everything.

I tend to do it in bulk. Some do it after every book. It's all good either way. :)

I haven't updated for awhile. I'm at 5,927/30,000

Wow! i.6 million pages. We can do it!!!

Count me in. I'm going to go for 35,000 pages. Will update shortly with pages read so far this year.
