Clbrend, since you haven' finished the whole Bible yet, I'll just add the pages you've already read and then keep adding a little bit at a time until you finish. It makes our number more accurate.
On January 15 you are on p. 546
Just let me know whenever you finish a section. Thanks.

Our adjusted total is 14 388
