While blog hopping & reading this morning, I found an
interesting post by Jean @ Finding Your Gibbee.
Evidently, she had come across a post on The Towering Pile, where the
blogger had sorted her TBR pile by the number of pages – book length. Some interesting statistics! So, in keeping with both of their posts, I
thought I’d do a similar sort.
Total books on my TBR list on Goodreads (and I know some are
missing) = 301
<200 9 books
200-299 74 books
300-399 125 books
400-499 55 books
500-599 7 books
600-699 4 books
700-799 1 book
800-899 2 books
Unknown # of pages 24 books
It looks like the majority of my books fall between 300-500
pages. If I were to use 400 as an
average and estimate the number of pages to read on my TBR list, I would be
reading approximately 120,000 pages by the time I were done.
WOW! I had not even thought about
something like that. That is
a bunch of pages!!! And to think, I am
constantly adding books to the list.
Looks like I need to get reading to get caught up. My goal
this year is to read at least 100 books.
So, again, using my 400 page average, that is = 40,000 pages. That means I should read about 3333 pages each month. I have already read 8 of my books, and using
the number of pages provided by Goodreads, I have already read 3139 pages this
year!!!!!! I’m off to a good start!
So, what are your statistics?
