Thank you all so much for participating in our reading challenge! We surpassed our goal of 1874 (the year The Mark Twain House was built) and hit a grand total of 1,965 books! We are going to keep this page going since it has been fun to see what everyone is reading and discussing books. I will post author events (live and virtual) in here from time to time and we may revisit this in the future. Thank you again! :)
Update! We are 160 books away from our goal! Hopefully you are all hunkering down at some point between now and January 1st to get your read on! I think we can do it!!!
I think we can do it! Yes, of course! :)
We have a little over 200 books to go to reach our goal!
Hello challenge readers! We have another update for you! We have reached 1,450 books! That means we are just 424 books from our goal! We have a final push over December, but I think we can do it! Thank you all so much!

Hey everyone! We have an official reading goal by December 31st of 1,874 books which is the year the Clemens family moved into the house. Next year will be the 150th anniversary so we figured it was a perfect goal. We have installed a book tracker in the museum center and we will update the group from time to time with our progress!
