Good luck! I’ve signed up too, and I’m aiming for 850 pages. I figured between work and cleaning for house viewings (*grimaces*) an average of 50 pages a day was probably a fair goal! I’m going to take very perverse pleasure in sitting on my butt reading and eating pizza knowing full well that the cream of the world’s athletes are doing very healthy things just a few miles away… 🙂
That’s awesome, thanks Ellie. I just finished an ebook and thought it was so long, but according to Amazon it was 39 pages or something like that. Your goal may be a little more doable than my 1000! We’ll see what happens.
This is the bookworm event! My idea of exercise is taking my book outside.
