I read several books earlier in the year that would have been 800+ pages each (if I were reading the pbook version), but I've also read some YA, so I'm debating about counting PAGES instead of books and setting a goal that way so I don't need to "cheat" to meet my goal, or put off reading a really good book just because it's 1,000 pages

I'm just not sure about what kind of goal to set for pages. Maybe 500 pages per book is reasonable? Multiplied by 52 weeks is 26,000 pages. I've completed 28 books and 13,692 pages so far this year.
I like the idea of pages as well. I know there is a group at Goodreads for a million pages in your lifetime (or something like that). Some books I read are 1000 pages and some 250.

I am at 146 I think. I have to check my Goodreads account. I was at 145 the other day and I know I have finished at least one book since.


Congrats to everybody that attempted a goal! Whether you made it or not, I bet you read a lot of great books along the way.
