Read at least 75 books

This year I want to explore some new genres (until now I've read mostly SF and fantasy, with a bit of mystery and historical fiction) and finish the series I started in 2013.

June challenge change: When I set the goal to 75 books I expected to read mid-size books. So far, I have 3 books over 1000 pages and so I've decided to change my goal to reading at least 30.000 pages.

Pages read: 26.215 / Books read: 63
