Book & Page

Hi, Iā€™m Josh! šŸ˜„

Welcome to Book & Page, my reading project! In 2016 I set the goal to read 10,000 pages each year. Since then, some years have been better than others, but I find that the goal motivates me to put down my phone and pick up a book.

To up the ante, I had the ambitious idea of aiming to read 1,000,000 pages in my lifetime, which would boil down to ~15,000 pages a year. I plan to make up the difference in retirement.

Follow along as I read my way to 1,000,000 pages!

Lifetime Goal: 8.2% complete, with 82,213 pages out of 1,000,000 goal read

Annual Goal: 59.2% complete, with 5,922 pages out of 10,000 goal read

Money saved reading through library: $361.08
