I'm aware it's quite an ambitious goal but let's see if I can do it :-)9/13: I reached my original target of 18,000 pages - now I decided to upgrade this to 21,000 - let's see if I can do it.
9/30: It was a really good reading triathlon - I was even able to reach the goal of 23,000 pages I didn't dare to hope for :-)

Okay, toss me into this as well; let's see if being apart of a challenge will motivate me to exceed my monthly reading tenfold! Might actually happen now that I'm also reading books on my Kindle app in addition to physical books� Put me down for 8 books in the allotted time, please :)Also, I have a question. What about books that we've been reading prior to July 1st, but complete reading between July 1st and September 30th? Would they count, too?
I usually count my books for the months in which I finish them I think I have actually asked the mods that before but I can post it in the mods section for you if you would like

Duration: July 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017
We are trying something new for the 3rd Quarter. Due to the popularity of the Marathon Challenge, we are going to extend it to a Triathlon Challenge! That’s right! Three months of speeding through the books!
For July, you will dive in and take a swim around all those books that have been piling up on your bookshelf, sitting in your e-reader, or waiting at the library for you check out! Wherever those books are waiting for you to read, stretch your muscles, grab your goggles and jump in because July is the month to get your feet wet!
For August, you will really start to speed up as you jump on your bike to start this long summer or winter month (depending on where you live). This may be the month that you finally reach for that 1000 page novel that will take some time to cycle through, or maybe you might want take on a new series that will make great sounds in your spokes. It’s your choice, so grab your reading helmet and a book!
For September, you will finish off with the classic marathon. Still have a nice long Penguin Classic waiting to be read or still want to reach for that pile of graphic novels? Whatever you do, just give yourself over to reading because this month you are going all out! So grab those running shoes and throw them to the side because you are staying home and spending September in the books!
For this challenge, we want you to pick the number of books or pages you want to read in the 3rd Quarter, and list them below. The goal is to read as much as you can in these three months because that is what a Triathlon is, a race! Just think, you have already done all the training, now all you have to do is try!
Ready, Set, Read!
