Trinity For the 30 Day Reading Challenge you have 2 choices:

1. You can read 1 book a day for 30 days

OR

2. You can read a certain amount of pages a day to equal put to the amount of pages you wish to read in the total 30 days.
Ex. If my goal is to read 6,000 pages for the 30 Day Reading Challenge. I'd divide by 30, en dup having 200 pages a day for 30 days. This will equal my goal for 6,000 pages.

message 7: by Zara's Retreat (new)

Zara's Retreat OK. I'll bite. I've been resisting this challenge because I have so many other books to read but what the heck.

Option 2: I'm going to aim for the minimum pages a day of 150 - at least that's what was said was the minimum on the YouTube clip - (more likely that I'll get around 25 pages a day read if I'm lucky!).

150 x 30 = 4500


message 8: by Trinity (new)

Trinity @Kathy
You welcome! :)

@Zara
u can go up to as much as you want! :) That sjust so you get the idea :D
