Pages Read Challenge

The Pages Read Challenge is being hosted by Kathrin at Secret Dreamworld of a Bookaholic.

Here's the challenge info:

1) Pick a number of pages you'll be attempting to read in 2010. It doesn't matter whether your goal is 10,000 or 100,000. You can always up your number as we go along, so you don't need to go all up high with your page count.

2) Write a blog post about it in which you will keep track of your page count.

3) Comment here with your goal number and a link to your blog post (if you have a blog - otherwise, just leave a comment with your name and the goal number). I'll then add you to the list of participants below.

4) The challenge starts January 1, 2010 and ends December 31, 2010. Only pages read after the new year has begun count in for the challenge.

5) As usual: Have fun!

I don't plan to use this post as a place to keep track of my page count, I already do that on the right side of my blog.

Here's why I want to participate in this challenge. I've been keeping track of book/reading stats for three years now. I have noticed that the number of pages read and the amount of books read each year has declined. I don't like that trend. I'm hoping that by participating in this challenge I'll be able to stop the decline and read like I used to.

My goal is to read 31,000 pages in 2010.
