Hi I'm joining this challenge. I just joined bookreads today. I'm looking at almost 30,000 pages.

The Ghost Bride by Yangsze Choo 368 pages

Shadow Prowler by Alexey Pehov 598 pages

18,716/25,000 pages read

I'm at 27,063 so only 3000 pages to go! :)

I met my goal! I'm at 42,117 pages.

Great job, everybody!

1. Between the Linesby Jodi Picoult - 352 pages
2. The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness - 478 pages

16884/20000 pages

Everyone is updated, including me! Congrats to Kaitlin for meeting her goal!

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins 391 pages

19,107/25,000 pages read

The Secret Garden 331 pages

5,238/7,000

Yay me! Haha thanks, Alison.

@ Lorelei - I've been meaning to read that FOREVER! Maybe next year.

so far: 14.374 pages (challenge 22.500)

I updated Anja, Craig and me. I didn't realize I am only 200 pages from my goal! YAY!!! *happy dance*

I'm so sorry that I haven't updated in forever! Life has sadly gotten in the way.....

Anyway,

*UPDATE*:
Goal Met So Far: 3,722/20,000 Pages

Yup. There's no way that I'm even going to come close to reaching my goal.....But oh well! Next Year, right?.

That's ok Nicole! There is next year! Ill update you anyway.

Update to msg. #44. I have read 5453/7000.
Back to reading!!

WOW. These are some really, really high page counts! I know that we all read different types of books at different rates and different amounts, but wow! My page goal for 2014 is 10400, or 400 pages on average for my 26-book goal.

My years run a bit differently than the calendar year. My goals start on October 13 (the day I got married and started a whole host of new things) and end on October 12, so I've already started counting pages. However, I'm also willing to consider going January 01 - December 31 as an additional challenge.

Oh, geez. I'm just making things more complicated, aren't I? I can't help it! The day I got married was the first day of a new sort of life, and so that's the day my years start. I hope it won't bother anyone! It all comes out to 365 days of counting!

i'm not gonna write down every book that i have read this year because that would take forever.

I reached my target :D
Completed 30,144/30,000

I'll also post a final update at the end of the year.

Well I lost counts of the books I read and therefore the amount of pages too and I don't want to go through and count of the ones I read.

I finished this challenge with 5,903/7,000 pages.
There's always next year!
Thank you for moderating.

I completed my goal

My final page count in 2013 is 31,306/30,000.
I think I'll continue counting pages next year as it's good motivator to read long books :)

So sorry that I haven't updated in a long time! :(

I didn't even come close to making my goal, but hey, better luck next year, I suppose! :)

Here's what I finished with:

4,690/20,000 Pages.

I have been tracking the number of pages. I read since the end of August 2011. it's a fun thing to do.

Also, GR makes it easy - if you click on My Books and then go to stats they show you how many pages and how many books you've read in any given year so far as if you've entered this information to Goodreads. But I do find that my number which is determined from the book I rad or the number of pages from Amazon for audios or Kindle reads is sometimes vastly different. This year I am going to take GR's number which I actually set on my books page read to pop up for each book finished.

Ok guys just for the fun of it I added up everyones page numbers other than mine. I think mine is updated though. For the year of 2013 with what is up there updated we read a total of 714,501 pages! Great job everyone! :) I had fun moderating this challenge taking over for Ashley.
