But then, the end of the year also means that all those wonderful reading challenges pop up again and we have to figure out which ones we want to join in.
In 2009, I hosted the Pages Read Challenge for the first time and I will host it again in 2010, so post a comment to sign up!
The rules are easy:
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, but any and every page you read counts for this challenge. I don't care about re-reads, overlaps with other challenges, or e-books! Just count the pages you read, no matter what type of book you're reading :-) See, it's a really easy challenge!
5) As usual: Have fun!
Michelle @ True Book Addict even created a great button for the challenge:
Thanks a lot, Michelle!

Oh yes, and would it be okay if I made a button for this challenge?
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm glad you're all joining in :-) I think I now have my list up to date.
ReplyDeleteAmanda, I think you should find the answers to your questions in the post now. I somehow forgot that. Sorry! Of course re-reads and overlaps are okay :-)
Kirthi, feel free to create a button! I'm not good with those things, that's why I don't have buttons, most of the time.
