Beachesnbooks Ally--I'm a huge Sabres fan and I love Tyler Meyers. So cool that you got to meet him! I was so sad he left Buffalo for Winnipeg.

ha ha ha ha, I've just noticed that I'm on a Top 50 Readers list on Goodreads!

Top 50 readers in the last 12 months in The United Kingdom - currently standing at #44

Very weird!


message 1806: by Lynn, Moderator (new)

Lynn | 4471 comments Mod
I'm not even close when it comes to the Top 50 in the world (on GR) ...... how can someone read 5,383 books in 12 months? (that's the number 1 reader btw)

That's about 14 books a day isn't it? That can't be possible.


message 1807: by Kirsten (new)

Kirsten  (kmcripn) I don't know. How long are the books? On Goodreads, novellas, novels, and short stories could all count as books. I think a better judge would be how many pages...


message 1808: by Janina (new)

Janina (sylarana) | 692 comments Even if I had the magical ability to speed read like that, I wouldn't be able to process the content that fast. I'm guessing those are robots.

I went to check, it's not just pages of picture books lol
She's even currently reading the Outlander series!

Thanks, I didn't even know it was a thing. All of a sudden I noticed a number on my profile page, clicked on it to see what it was about and there I was on a list!


message 1812: by ally ¯\(ツ)/¯ (new)

ally  ¯\(ツ)/¯ (allykennedy) | 1002 comments It occasionally happens to me too Lynn. Currently I'm a #4 top reviewer... Which makes NO SENSE. I think I've reviewed 3 books this month. I have no idea how the ridiculous Goodreads matrix that decides this stuff works. Because there are hundreds thousands of Canadians on Goodreads that read more and review more than I do...


message 1813: by ally ¯\(ツ)/¯ (new)

ally  ¯\(ツ)/¯ (allykennedy) | 1002 comments Hahahahahaa!!!! It says I've reviewed 117 book this month..

LIES!
