Twaddle: trivial or foolish writing
I'm still happy that my family read over 117 books to accumulate almost 20,000 pages read for the year. I will have you know, that they are very excited that we kept these records because now they are aggressively attempting to boost their reading numbers up, up, up! BTW, you have to FINISH the book to have it counted for the year. This is both a blessing and a curse, especially when so many of us (me) start books and can't quite get them finished by year's end...
The Count:
Family 758 pages
Dad 5,698 pages
Mom 3,650 pages
Belle 6,968 pages
Boy 1,935 pages
Sis 328 pages
Ask us about something we read and we'll be glad to tell you what we thought of it!

Wow! I love how you guys kept track of your books. I'll keep this in mind for when our kids are older.
ReplyDeleteAnd I really like Belle's new name!
Fabulous! And inspiring :) Thanks for posting!!
ReplyDelete(But seriously, Mr. Pilot, when in the world do you have time to read?!)
:)
I would love to know what Boy's favorite book was (what he would recommend to my boys)! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAnd an extra kudos to Guys ~~ that is a stunning amount of pages read :D
Sorry for the delayed response, Boy says "I, Juan De'Pareja" was his very favorite book last year... And Mr. Pilot reads at night, and in the morning, and while he is between flights at work. :~))
