It's depressing."


No pressure! You can also make a thread and not post any challenges if you feel like it :)
I hope your reading gets better <3
Not feeling like reading or too much other stuff to do?

HomeInMyShoes | 2759 comments Yeah, I think you're with a few of us for not having made any updates in the last month. Just think of yourself as ahead of the curve Nyssa. :)

Why does this thread randomly turn on notifications for me? Ugh.

My email does not need that.

Thanks,

It's a bit of column A and a bit of column B.

The slump started because of having way too much to do (which will be the case for the next year and a half) but continued because I began to binge-watch tv shows when I had time, instead of reading.

:) Thanks. That's a good take on it.

That's a good point. Plus, I do want to make a point of interacting more even when I'm not reading. I miss you guys when I'm "gone."

Nyssa | 1569 comments Hi guys & gals, another POLL: https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/1...

Looking for a series to read in 2019; poll closes in 48 hours. Would love additional input.

Thanks in advance.


Ghost in the Stacks I am new and all, so just asking...

It is cool to post challenges from other groups? I see some people doing challenges from other groups, but just wanted to make sure.

Nyssa | 1569 comments Your individual challenge thread is precisely that ... yours! Do with it as you will. If you want to invite others to join you in the challenge, then start a thread here:Group Challenges and tell us all about it.

Other than that, follow the house rules, and have fun! :D

MrsJoseph *grouchy* (mrsjoseph) | 3289 comments I have a confession to make:

I am currently HOOKED on bad Kindle Unlimited books.

O_O

HOOKED

I can't stop. I have a problem.


message 114: by DoodlePanda (new)

DoodlePanda | 1226 comments I dont see that as a problem :D

Nyssa | 1569 comments Just learned this: Michael B. Jordan + Black Leopard Red Wolf so now I have to add Black Leopard, Red Wolf to my TBR and hope I read it sooner than later!!

Wait! Silly me, I already added it to my Wishlist, so yeah I just have to buy it and read it.

Nyssa | 1569 comments There is another Nyssa on Goodreads, and I'm "shook." I was looking up one of my old posts in another group and saw a few attributed to the name that made no sense to me. So I clicked on the title, and sure enough, there is an Australian Nyssa out there!!

Bianca van Willigenburg (biancavw) | 1749 comments I just wanted to change have far I am in my current book and that option seems to have been removed. Anyone else seeing this?


message 121: by Christa, The Renewed (new)

Christa (christaw) | 1457 comments Yeah, same here. I had to go to the book page and update my status there. I think it's a bug, I seem to recall it happening in the past.


message 122: by Nyssa, Series Addict (new)

Nyssa | 1569 comments GR Help says it’s down due to maintenance. They did not give an estimate as to when it will be available again.


message 123: by Nyssa, Series Addict (last edited May 04, 2022 05:53PM) (new)

Nyssa | 1569 comments Are there specific words or phrases that you find yourself using in most (or all) of your reviews?

I think "Enjoy (ed) / (ing)" and "Intense" seem to be my go-to words this year!

I've also read a few "interesting", "cautionary tales"; and have had more than a few "mixed emotions/feelings."


message 124: by Christa, The Renewed (new)

Christa (christaw) | 1457 comments I've got hardly any reviews but after a quick glance through them, the word "definitely" showed up a noticeable amount. Oh, and I also have several instances of starting sentences with "Oh, and..." :D
