At the beginning of 2023, I had a goal to read 22 books. These 22 books included the following:
- Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas (8 books)
- Caraval series by Stephanie Garbe (3 books)
- The Remnant Chronicles by Mary E. Pearson (3 books)
- Dance of Thieves Duology by Mary E. Pearson (2 books)
- The Celestial Kingdom series by Sue Lynn Tan (3 books)
- Alex Stern series by Leigh Bardugo (2 books)
- Six of Crows series by Leigh Bardugo (2 books)
Unfortunately, I am nowhere near close enough to accomplishing that goal with only a few weeks left until the new year, as I have only read 8.
But as some of you may already know I am currently in the middle of reading the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas. I have finished 3 out of 8 (Throne of Glass, Crown of Midnight, and Heir of Fire), leaving me with 5 more books within the series to read before I complete the Throne of Glass series, but I want to finish the series by the end of the year. Am I being too ambitious? Maybe… Probably… 99% for sure. BUT, I have done some calculations to make this challenge seem a little less intimidating.
| Page Count | |
| The Assassins Blade | 317 |
| Queen of Shadows | 672 |
| Tower of Dawn | 688 |
| Empire of Storms | 720 |
| Kingdom of Ash | 992 |
| Total Number of Pages | 3389 |
There are 42 days left until January 1st, 2024. So I decided to round down to complete the series in 35 days.
To complete 3389 pages within 35 days, I would need to read approximately 100 pages (technically 98.83 pages, but just rounded up). Even though 100 pages every day sounds like a lot I believe that I will be able to complete this challenge and get through the Throne of Glass series by the end of the year. It may not be the initial 22 books but I would be happy with 3389 pages within 35 days and to have read 14 out of 22 books from my initial 2023 goal…
