I started this back in June and am finished! Hosted by Coconut Library (now Unputdownables ) this challenge just asked it's participants to read 3,000 pages in three months. I liked this challenge because my reading tends to slow down in the summer and this helped keep me motivated.
What: A challenge to get you reading all through the season.
Why: So that you will have motivation to keep those pages turning!
When: 12 a.m., June 1st - 11:59 p.m., August 31st
Where: On your couch, at the beach, on a plane or a train... anywhere you can read. Check back here to let us know your progress. We can keep each other motivated by doing it together!
How: This season your goal is to finish 3,000 pages in the course of three months.
So, here is what I read, June 1st - August 31st:
Wurthering Heights: 400 pages
Memories of My Meloncholy Whores: 128 pages
