Nancy did you read Collette's post about counting pages? I am trying to figure out if I should count ebooks under 100 as a whole book. I may add up a bunch of the short ones up to 200 pages and call the combo 1 book. Any thoughts?

Hey BB, I just checked out Collette's post. Boy, she is so disciplined, making lists and stuff! I have a hard time sticking to lists since I'm such a mood reader. Since I normally read 50-70 "real" books per year, I knew I had no chance of ever reaching 144. So, for this challenge, I'm counting everything I read. I figure it will work out in the end if I read a balanced number of long and short books.

I still haven't figured out the best way to count e-book pages. For the ones I've listed, I use the page count on Goodreads or on Amazon. If I don't know, I'll just leave it blank.
