Yearly ChallengeLET'S TURN PAGES CHALLENGE
Duration: January 1, 2015 – December 31, 2015
We are always making goals about how many books we want to read in a year. How about we make a goal for number of pages we want to read?
1. Make a goal of number of pages you would like to read.
2. Read as many pages as you can in one year.
3. Since you probably don’t know what you want to read for the entire year, make your list as you go. (Be sure to post the number of pages in your book!)
If your edition doesn't have page numbers (such as an audiobook), use the most popular edition of the book (that's not an audiobook) to determine what the number of pages should be. Rereads will count for this challenge, but you have to read the entire book…no skimming!
