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 ;)

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.

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.

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
I'm super confused, but ready to try.
1. Goal: 2,200 pages (rough estimate of 10% 2018 end pages)
2. Out of the Zone: POC authors
