yes we did, looking forward to be a part of the new challenge in 2017 :)

Woo hoo!!!

A fantastic WELL DONE guys!!

Now, an important question, what would you like for 2017? Would you like to up the challenge here, go back to 1,000,000 or keep to the same.

Also, what other challenges would you like me to set up? Would you like the individual 25,000 pages read, the alphabetical challenge. I am being led by your requirements.

SO, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

I'm listening and ready to set up the new threads... :))

Brenda, I so love that pic!! :D

Indelible by Karin Slaughter 400 pages

1,524,607 + 400 = 1,525,007 pages

Great choice of pic Brenda! Love it.

No point in going backwards Janet.

For next year up it to 1,750,000. I will not reach 25,000 pages this year, doubt if I will next year. The alphabet challenge is cool, I am 6 letters short this year.

I agree with Gary. I am 5 letters short for the alphabet challenge.

I like the one with random challenges, like color in the title. But with new challenges

That's the number I was thinking too, Gary.

I'll look at what comes in and get new threads up before the new year. Glad you've enjoyed them. :)

- 374 pages
- 372 pages
- 258 pages
- 316 pages
- 208 pages
- 336 pages
- 355 pages
- 169 pages
- 189 pages

Total page count: 1,777

1,525,007 + 1,777 = 1,526,784

Thankfully I got these in before the end of the year! :)

Outfoxed 326
Paper and Fire 357

1,526,784 + 683 = 1,527,467

I don't do any of the other challenges, so upping this one is fine by me. Expect about the same amount from me for next year. Happy New Year everyone, great job on this challenge!

Why not just do "Can we read 2 million pages in 2017," Janet?

Carpe Diem: Put a Little Latin in Your Life 259 pages

1,527,467+259=1,527,726 pages

Hhmmm. Not sure about 2,000,000. Seems like a big ask!!

Probably what you said last year, too, Janet. About asking if we could read a collective 1.5 million pages in 2016, I mean.

1.527,726 + 422 = 1,528,148
The Forgotten by David Baldacci

Turbo Twenty-three by Janet Evanovich
1,528,148 + 288 = 1,528,436

Lol! Yeah, probably Amber! :-D

So...why not be ambitious and try for 2 million collective pages next year?

I like the 1,750,000 idea for 2017 so we can look forward to upping it to 2,000,000 for 2018.
JMO.
This is the only group challenge I participate in.

I am in for 1,750,000 too :)

I like the 1,750,000 idea too.

Happy New Year to all!

I think at first we should aim for 1,750,000 pages. If we achieve it early then we can aim for 2,000,000 pages.

112p. 453p.

1,529,188 + 112 + 453 = 1,529,753

can we start the new year with message #1 ?

That's a good idea. A 2017 thread.

Rick/Paula: Janet still hasn't decided on a target # yet!

Rapture in Death by J.D. Robb 268 pages

A fantastic total if this is indeed the last entry before the new year hits!

A new thread for 2017 is up and ready to go!!

I'll have one more before midnight.

I have part way through my last entry for the year.
