How does this challenge work? You list the books that you have read so far this year?

Basically our goal is to read 50 books in one year but as a spin on it from last year we're counting page numbers as well. So you can either list the books you've read so far, or start now and try to read 50 in a year from May to May.

Let's see if I can remember the books I've read this year. I just realized how many books I read last year, and it hardly compares to my list this year. Hopefully that will change now that it's almost summer. Some of these books were for school and I didn't really like them, but they still count hehe

1. Frankenstein - Mary Shelley (256)
2. Wuthering Heights - Emily Brontë (336)
3. Perfect - Natasha Friend (232)
4. TTYL - Lauren Myracle (224)
5. The Au Pairs - Melissa de la Cruz (304)
6. Twins - Marcy Dermansky (304)
7. Macbeth- William Shakespeare (272)

Total - 1,928
