Ohh The Silent Patient - you are in for a treat :)
I'm in! I probably ask the same question every month, but do books have to be any certain length, or can we read short stories and novellas and count the pages? The New Yorker, for example, has a lot of stories, and there are many websites with short stories by well-known authors that I enjoy reading.
Fri & Sat - finished Nobody's Fool by Richard Russo 294 pp
Sun - started Out of the Dark by Gregg Hurwitz 80pp
Total 374 pages
I am in!A Chick in the Cockpit :Erika Armstrong pp 109

*An easy way to keep track is using the Currently Reading feature on Goodreads, entering your page number at the end of each day. **For those who read by eReader, take the page number which shows for paperback/hardcover here on Goodreads for your total. Calculate by percentage to work out your page number read.
***For audio listeners, check out how many pages the book has on Goodreads, then divide that number by how many CDs or hours it is to give you an idea of pages per time. Don't forget to post your totals of daily or full weekend tally on the thread.
