Hi Meek I wish you the best of luck with your reading this year. How many books will you be reading this year.
Hey Blagica, shooting for 12 this year. It's a modest number!

I would love to read over 300 books, simply because there are so many great books out there. But I have a busy life and I'm a slow reader. Although I must say that joining this group has helped me not only to get out of my (5 year long) reading slump but to read more. So I too started with 12 books as a goal last year and ended up reading 46 books! I just couldn't believe it!!! All thanks to this group, the great challenges, the awesome group and buddy reads (which I highly recommend!!) and last but certainly not least, the amazing group members who were always supportive, motivating and encouraging.
In any case, I want to wish you the best of luck with your goal & above all, happy reading!
12 is a great place to start! I hope you had a great month!
Thanks Blagica, hope yours was good too!First book done! Next I'll be finishing How to Win Friends and Influence People and hopefully will squeeze in a second book this month. Looking at books by Anthony Horowitz, Dan Brown, Robin Sloan, or Nathan Hill.
Here's my review from January's book, Sapiens:
As others have commented, this book is wildly clever and the author presents the information in a very engaging and entertaining way. Honestly, I listened to the audiobook and I'm not sure if I would've finished it nearly as quickly if I had read it due the heavy intellectual content.
Overall very mentally stimulating and eye opening read in to the past, present, and future of the sapien species.
Two months down ten to go! I hope March is a success for you.
Wrapped up Ready Player One in about two weeks time. Getting started with Artemis by Andy Weir. Feelin' like a reading machine! Thanks for the inspo and motivation!
You are welcome my pleasure I will be back to see how you liked Artemis I haven't decided if I want to read it.
12 books is definitely a great starting point, Meek! And if you do read more, even better :) How did you like Ready Player One? and do you plan on watching the movie?
Best of luck throughout the rest of the year!
A book is a dream that you hold in your hand. I hope that April brings you many more five star reads.
“Reading brings us unknown friends” While the warm weather is coming I hope you make some new friends in May!
“I have always imagined paradise will be a kind of library.” I hope you find a corner in Paradise with some great books!!
