Those 70 pages count

Update to message number 372 ! I forgot the two comic books that I read before creating my Goodreads account

2. Doomsday Clock #1 at 43 pages
3. Doomsday Clock #2 at 32 pages

this brings me up to 415 pages out of my 10,000
and 3/12 for my books to read this year

11,408 / 100,000 pages - 42 books

Could I update my goal for 200,000 pages, please?

I seemed to have increased my reading speed from last year. I may be biting off more than I can chew, but without stretching yourself, there can be no growth.

Also, and let me know if this is unacceptable, alongside with updating my original post, I'll post a weekly list of the books I've read.

Update: +224 pages
