While I'm still quite far behind, it seems I'm starting to catch up on the reading I lost when the period from March to May unexpectedly became very busy.
List of projections (target: 14,600 pages, using my personal Kindle page count):
January 15:
17.568 pages, Success
January 26:
14.993 pages, Success
Febuary 02:
14.933 pages, Success
Febuary 09:
15.622 pages, Success
Febuary 17:
15.695 pages, Success
March 13:
10.782 pages, Fail
May 25:
8.002 pages, Fail
June 8:
8.700 pages, Fail
June 14:
9.112 pages, Fail
For some reason, I'm going through my re-read of the Belgariad and Malloreon like a hot knife through butter. When I read these books the first time, around 15 years ago, I had to quit halfway through the first book of the Malloreon and pick the series up again at a later date.
Now, I seem I just can't stop reading. Yesterday, I finished Belgariad 5, and I read 75% of Malloreon 1 today, due to a very long public transport trip; I might actually finish it before I go to sleep.
If I do so, and update my list before I go to sleep, my projected page count for the end of the year will be 9.970. Raising my projected page count by 2000 pages between may 25th and June 14 is a lot of reading (for me, at least, using this particular page count method).
(And no... I'm not hurrying, skimming or skipping; just reading more
)
