2,000 PAGES CHALLENGE
Rules
1. From July 1-30
2. Try to read as many books as possible, and at the end, add all the pages that you read. Read at least 2,000 pages.
3. Just EDIT your comment to add more books/update your pgs. Don't keep commenting your progress.
4. If you didn't finish the book and the challenge has ended, it's OKAY! Just write down your current page & it will still count.
5. You can sign up anytime.

Format
Title by Author - 400 pgs.
Title by Author - 300 pgs.
Title by Author - 800 pgs.
Total: 1,500 pgs.

Prize
Whoever reads the most pages will get to choose the next BOTM (Book of the Month) for August 2013.

Questions
Comment your questions & I'll put them on here.
Q: there are 31 days in July, are you meaning to leave the last day off? I assume it's just an error - I always get confused with the month days myself.
A: The winner of the challenge (the one who read the most pgs) will be announced on the 31st :) I forgot to put that on here, sorry!
Q: So, do I just have to pick any book with 2000 pages and read it in the month? Or do you read more then one?
A: Oh no! That would be hard haha. You could read as many books as you want & then add up all the pages.
Q:Books that I started before July but finished in July are counted for all these challenges?
A:It has to be started on July not before.
