Two ways to plan your reading
Have a deadline? Maybe it's a book club meeting, a school assignment, or you just want to finish before your vacation ends. Enter your target date and find out exactly how many pages you need to read each day.
Know your pace? If you know how many pages you can realistically read per day, switch to "I know my pace" mode to see when you'll finish your book.
Either way, breaking down a big book into daily chunks makes it feel much more manageable. You've got this!
Tips for Finishing Your Book
What if I fall behind schedule?
It happens! Just recalculate with your new current page. The calculator will adjust your daily goal. Don't stress about catching up all at once. Small, consistent progress beats sporadic marathon sessions.
How do I estimate my reading time?
Most people read about 30-40 pages per hour. If you're reading something dense or unfamiliar, expect closer to 20-25 pages. Light fiction? You might hit 50+ pages per hour. The calculator estimates based on 30 pages/hour as a middle ground.
Should I read every single day?
Not necessarily! If you can read more on weekends, factor that in. The "pages per day" is an average. Some people prefer longer sessions fewer times per week. Find what works for your life.
What's a realistic daily reading goal?
For most people, 20-40 pages per day is sustainable. That's roughly 30-60 minutes of reading. Going above 50 pages daily requires significant time commitment. Be honest with yourself about what fits your schedule.
