This needs to go in the Funny SFF thread."
That's the thread I was looking for. Couldn't remember the name. I added the tweet over there.
I don't compare reading totals with anyone. The numbers I choose are merely ballpark goals for my own encouragement, but if I don't meet those goals, no harm done.I do follow the "what have you been reading this month" threads because I often find books that I think I'd like to read.
I occasionally look at the bookshelves of someone who has recommended a book to see what other books they've read and liked.
Word.

I've been on Goodreads since 2008. I don't remember when the Goodreads Giveaways started, but since they started sending notifications about books I might like to read, I've entered more than I can count.Today, I won my first Goodreads giveaway, Persephone Station by Stina Leicht. Book to arrive in four to six weeks. W00t!
How's your luck been?
