I have finally reached two major milestones, the first was reaching 300,000 pages of the 1,000,000 pages that comprise my crazy little project, which started back in 2008.
The book that put me thru this remarkable goal was The Walking Dead Vol. 9, a series that I started reading back in 2007, and read from volume 1 to 7.
Right now there are more than 30 volumes.
The culprit of my 300,000 pages
Also, I reached 20,000 pages of this year of reading, this 25 days ahead of schedule.
Consequently, it was the tenth volume of The Walking Dead that helped me cross the 20,000-page mark.

The next immediate goal is to pass the halfway mark of this year of reading, which is 20,833 pages, just 775 more to go.
Also, make this year my best one yet, for that to happen, I still have 27,832 pages ahead of me.
For this week of reading, I have lined-up some really of my favorite series.
Starting with the world created by David Petersen, Mouse Guard, with three collections that I found on Kindle Unlimited, also, the second comic book series of The Witcher, Fox Children, still haven’t read the last three numbers.
And lastly, try to finish by Thursday night the second volume of Dragonlance Chronicles, Dragons of Winter Night, I have fallen a little behind, but nothing I cannot make up for.
I spent most of the day resting up, still having some issues with my left arm, and of course reading.
I am pretty sure that two of my goals were met today, reaching 300,000 of total pages, and 20,000 pages for this year.
But I wouldn’t be sure until my digital lists are updated.
For now, I’ll keep on browsing fo new things to read, which consequently have already given me some new material to read.
I’ll finish with the tenth volume of The Walking Dead, and then it’s on to the second series of the Dark Horse adaptation of The Witcher, Fox Children.
After that, I’ll return to the mesmerizing world of Mouse Guard, created by David Petersen, who is this anthology collection known as Legends of the Guard, he shares his world with some heavy hitters.
I have a lot of new things to read, and hopefully I’ll keep on adding to this amazing year of reading.
I just finished the first book, Dragons of Autumn Twilight, of the trilogy Dragonlance Chronicles, in which we meet our fearless heroes on their quest to face a new threat that has come to endangered their beloved homeland.
But not only that, there’s also whisper of the return of the Dark Queen.
I cannot wait to jump right into the second book, Dragons of Winter Night.
This will be the 11th book of this year of reading, and I have put March 12 as the deadline to finish reading it.
I feel really satisfied with my current reading pace.
I am picking up my rythm, and I will probably finish this first book of my quest just on schedule.
With less than 100 pages to go on Dragons of Autumn Twilight, and the rest of today, all of tomorrow, and until 6:00 a.m. of Saturday to finish them, I can see a really promising outcome.
Also, I will try to pass the 20,000-page mark over the weekend, followed by some celebratory drinks.
Yesterday, while I was battling by archnemesis Mr. Insomnia, I came up with the crazy notion that I should try and read a total of 49 books by the end of my reading year, which is on October 12 of this year.
I have already read 9 books, and I know that 40 is a big number but it is doable.
The first task will be to finish Dragons of Autumn Twilight by Saturday morning, and jump into Dragons of Winter Night.
