Hi Alyana Pearl, I try to update at least a couple of times a month. I don't check original posts so as long as you post a new comment, I will be able to update your progress. Hope this helps :)

2021 Reading Challenge
Let's Turn Pages - 2021
Duration: January 1, 2021 - December 31, 2021

Progress: 14,034 out of 55,000

Our most popular challenge, Let’s Turn Pages, returns once again in 2021!
The GoodReads Reading Challenge lets you aim at reading a certain quantity of books during a year. This challenge, however, doesn’t care at all about how many books you read. Here, it’s all about how many pages you turn in 2021.

Getting Started
(view spoiler)[1. Make a goal of the number of pages you aim to read and let the challenge leader know. Also post that goal in your original sign-up post.
2. Do your best to reach that goal by the end of 2020. Please note that you can always raise or lower your goal to accommodate your personal circumstances.
3. There’s no need to plan out all your books in advance. Just be sure to keep track of the books you read and their page count.
_ _ _ _ _

Updating Your Progress
Please track your ongoing progress in your original sign-up post (or your linked Member’s Corner post), adding up your total pages read. Use the format below:

Sample Post:

Progress: 1,004/10,000 pages

The Picture of Dorian Gray: 254
Cloud Atlas: 509
The Children of Men: 241

Posting Update Comments
When posting an update comment, be sure to include both the number of your original sign-up post and current progress as follows:

FAQs
* If GoodReads doesn’t show a page count for your edition (as with audiobooks), simply use the page count of the most popular non-audiobook edition.
* Rereads also count for this challenge, but you need to read the entire book. No skimming!
* Has your progress not been updated on the Participants list? Please note that I will not be checking your original posts. When you post an update comment, include both your message number and progress (not just your message number). Also check to make sure that your original post includes your total progress using the “pages read/pages pledged” format (this is just for backup).
*If you change your Goodreads name, please let the challenge leader know via an update comment or by a direct message, only so we can keep your progress updated accurately
