Lauren Smith The epic challenge is for 500+ page tomes - the epic novels we sometimes shy away from especially when trying to complete other reading challenges. You only need to read one 500+ page book in the 3-month period to complete the challenge, but you can read as many as you want and list them here, with the number of pages you've read.

Happy reading!

Lauren Smith Lol, it's a review book, and it's too heavy to put in my luggage to take back to Addis, so I must read it!

I still have to read the 1000 pages book for the DRC and I plan on reading that this month so that is at least one book and who knows what else will pop up. I want to read several books that qualify but I also want to finish some challenges so it is one big mess.
