All right, two days left of student teaching, and I'm about to kick off my Summer of 10,000 Pages gig. Summer for me starts on Friday at 2:39pm Eastern Standard Time, so any books that I finish after that time and before my first class of the fall (Tuesday, September 4, 9:00am) will count toward my goal. Here are the rules I set out for myself:
1. Page count will come from the official listing for the title at Amazon.com. Hardcover, softcover, Kindle, whatever. I know I said that Kindle pages = paper pages earlier, but I've been getting books in a different format lately and they fit like twice the amount of text per Kindle "page." so Amazon.com is the final word.
2. If I read the book in Spanish, the pages count double.
3. Magazines don't count.
4. I have to finish the book before I can count the pages toward my total.
I'm a little more than halfway through my first book of the summer...Harry Potter y la Camara de Secretos. :) Happy Summer Vacation!
(and may the odds be ever in your favor)
Kind of want to do this too... 'cept my summer doesn't start for another.. 6 days. ish.
