My goals:

1. 5% of my total 2018 pages & rounded down to nearest hundred: 5,400
2. Read Bahasa Indonesia books. I say this every year that I will read more to keep my language skill up but fail each time because I find it hard to switch from reading English & to fit into reading challenges so I'm going to incorporate it into my own challenges ;)

1.Goal: 5468 pages (10%) of last year.
2.Out of Zone goal: Non-fiction books


message 25: by Dee (new)

Dee (austhokie) | 2695 comments It’s not 5000pg a month but a stage


message 26: by Tien (new)

Tien (tiensblurb) | 9030 comments Mod
as Dee said, Stacey, the page goals is per Stage which you do not have to complete in 1 month unless you really want to ;) You have until the end of 2019 to complete any Stage.

Lagullande | 484 comments Dee wrote: "It’s not 5000pg a month but a stage"

Although there are 15 stages, so if you want to finish them all by the end of the year, then it's more than 5000 a month.

I'm still deciding whether to reduce my ambitious (for me, at least) quota.


message 28: by Dee (new)

Dee (austhokie) | 2695 comments i would hazard a guess if you are using a number that is in the 5-10% range of your yearly average from this year - that 5000 is doable (I read 84+k pages this year) - so an avg of 7000pgs a month

You don't have to do alll 15 stages... you can pick 'n' mix whichever Stages you'd like to participate in. There's no guarantee that all 15 will be unlocked in the year either... although I know we've got some amazing readers here so that is a possibility ;p

Actually, I think 1000 might be a bit ambitious for me.
