I have joined another challenge where I have to read books of 650 pages or more but I think this is better for me as a lot of my book are going to be more than 450 pages.
Update 31st of March: This challenge is not going as well as I hoped. I have only read two books with more than 450 pages. 6 of my other books have been over 400 pages but unfortunately not 450.

My goal for this challenge is: d. African Elephant: Read 12 or more mammoth-sized books.
