I'll do this challenge too! I would like to read 5000 pages. I did a 10 day readathon and came up just short of 1000 so hopefully i can do better on this one. Plus I'm having my wisdom teeth out in a couple weeks so will have some time to read there too.
- 150 pages and 1 book. I started this in October so am only counting the pages read in November for my goal.
- 222 pages and 1 book. I also started this one in October so am only counting the last few days of pages.
- 321 pages and 1 book
- 384 pages and 1 book
- 100 pages and 1 book. I know it's only a novella but since ŷ marks it as a book then I will too.Red by Kate Kinsey- 277 pages and 1 book

Do you have a list of books that you were planning on reading this year, but you haven’t gotten to yet? How would you like an opportunity to clear more of those shelves? Because let’s be honest, most of us need to make room for all those books that will be coming this holiday season! So as requested, we are bringing along another marathon challenge.
Here’s how it works: How many of us want to read that super long classic that has been sitting on our book shelf, or spend long cold and rainy days on the couch with a pile of graphic novels? Let's spend some time finishing the year strong with a marathon of reading!
With the end of the year coming, pick a pile of books you feel you could read to finish your reading challenges up. A nice long over 500 page book, a group of books under 100 pages, that book that has been on your TBR waiting to be read all day, or anything else you choose. Just give yourself over to reading!
This is not a sprint, but a way to spend November in the pages! Pick the number of pages or books you would like to read in November and post them below. The goal is to get those challenges wrapped up fast! Who would have thought ending something could be so fun, and that you could do a marathon in the pages of a book?
