Hi everyone. I used to be very active in this group and a mod years ago until the beginning of the pandemic when I decided to put reading aside while I worked in healthcare. My mental health has improved a lot and have been able to focus and read again. I'm so happy to have reading back in my life :) hello to everyone new and old 😘

Happy to see you again, Margret... I remember some of your mental health posts in the past... good to hear you're doing better... so many people go silent around here for various reasons, and it's always good to see them return/revisit the group...
In the past year, Sir Anni has checked in a few times, and Virginie popped in for the first time in years, after disappearing around the same time as you...

It's so nice to have you back again Margret!

Welcome back! Hopefully you'll pop in for the occasional BR too :)


Welcome back. I fell off the Goodreads wagon in 2019 when I got pregnant and my youngest. Just came back a year ago. The great thing about Goodreads is how you can weave in and out of it so easily.

There's been talk of this in other threads... it looks like GR redesigned it's notification UI, and you might need to go through and resubscribe to threads and adjust account notification settings to get things working again (can't say personally, since I don't use the email options myself, 100% a notification checker)
Innkeeper Chronicles Book Club thread is the first one I've noticed missing from my notification feed, since I pull up so many of my threads from my URL history...
Diana commented 8 days ago, but it's nowhere in my notification history... I think the site was acting weird that day, page unavailable/etc...

Finally found the GR Notification change announcement, buried in the Help results...
https://help.goodreads.com/s/announce...
Half the things you guys liked getting emails about have been eliminated (to save money on email traffic / server load?)...
Have fun!
I'm also seeing comments around that this unchecked alot of people's notifications on personal book reviews, so good luck noticing when people comment on old book reviews...

My audio BRs are currently all on track, yay me. I am sure I will manage to be behind soon again.
Now, my eye read list is scary...
Currently reading:
Oathbringer - finally finished Worlds of Radiance yesterday, priority reading, I also want to continue with Mistborn 5 soon and should read both SA 4 and Mistborn 5 before December to be caught up...
The Lies of Locke Lamora - I read few pages... I don't have space to read this one but I really want to lol
Empire of Ivory - continued series, read one chapter then put it to rest since next book is only up on December and I had too much on my plate
The Dragonbone Chair - stuck halfway for a month, I am afraid I forgot too much to continue but I want to continue...
Jade Legacy - Few chapters in, was too late for the BR but don't want to put the series on hold...
Of course I don't feel like dropping any of them... The delusional part of me thinks I will be able to read them all before my overstuffed December schedule starts. I mean it's only like 6000 pages and my eye read record in one month is 3000 but of course a miracle will happen 🤣

This has been bothering me so much... I had my settings give me notifications for every thread in FBR and then I would unsubscribe to BRs that I wasn't joining in for. Not sure how to go about it now. :(

I'm not 100% sure how it works anymore... there's a checkbox to "notify me when people comment", but I get notifications on threads I haven't checked the box for, because of group/account settings... I think the group/account settings supercede, until you check and uncheck the box on a single thread?
I think the changes were to cut down on the emails GR was sending to millions of users... probably saves them money, especially since alot of users probably didn't use the emails they got by default... sucks for the people that DID use them, tho...

That would be a handy skill to have. When I was younger I always imagined the wall next to my bed would have a door to a cozy room where I could go to read books without any time passing on the outside. When I started using Goodreads I really put some serious thought to how could I read so much and still track everything on Goodreads without it looking suspicious. Once when I was thinking about what would I do if I started my life over, one of my biggest issues was how would I track books on Goodreads that I have read in my previous life. Would I just count first reading in the new life? I clearly have my priorities straight.

I am upset that the notifications' settings were reset, and I don't know what comments/updates I'm missing.
I appreciate all the "Group is Reading" notifications, though.
The discussions button at the top of desktop layout is our friend… shows everything whether subscribed to threads or not… good way to check for threads hiding from you erroneously…

True. I don't always remember to use it.
I’ve been using it more and more… especially on quiet days where I think notifications are broken…
I hope everyone had a great reading time in October.

My audio BRs are currently all on track..."
Yes! A while ago Choko talked about a magical reading bubble where time doesn't pass while you're reading. Would absolutely love one of those!
I get it though, there's just so many good books being read by the group at the same time and there's just not enough time in a day. Apparently we have to "work" to "make a living" 🙄🙄 LOL

My audio BRs are currentl..."
I think the sad reality is that even reading 24/7 I would still not be able to read all the good books I want to read... They just keep coming every year. I must be satisfied to just read through all the maximum priority ones. Which is something I am doing now thanks to this group rather than just leaving those for the "right time" to read them 🙄

This is a nice article with clickbait title.

Only BR I see missing is Worlds of Honor (anthology #2 in the Honor Harrington universe) for December 16th, 2024

A little bit late but welcome back ☺️ I'm glad you're feeling better and that you rediscovered your love for books!
Shame on me for being lost again, but this time I have a good reason at least. Our daughter was born in September and so I was a little busy. She's incredible easy-going and brings us so much joy. I pre-ordered Wind and Truth but I'm still on book 2, doing a re- listening. Good thing books are patient 🤭
