2025 Reading Challenge discussion

I'll cover everything I read in 2018 regardless of whether it is part of a challenge or not. I read several genres in both fiction and non-fiction, so you never know what I'm reading from one day to the next.

Good luck with your goal Charlsa & happy reading!

Updated as of October 27, 2018

Duration: January 1 - December 31, 2018

My goal for 2018 is 35,000 pages. I'm participating in both the PopSugar Reading Challenge and the Around the Year in 52 books challenge, so I will use those books plus the non-challenge related books I read for this challenge.
