Blagica, forgive me please - I’m new at this. I set my annual goal as 52 books via the main setting that came up January 1st on the main Goodreads page. I had written in a January Marathon Goal in this feed too (end of December did that). 2 questions: 1. Is there an easy way to find my own posting thread?, 2. Can you tell me what I wrote for my goal (4 or 5?)? Thank you! I’ve learned to take notes or a screenshot for my own reference as you are moderating thousands of readers. I’ll try and be as low maintenance to you as possible.🌺

Blagica, I don’t know what my “message #” is. That’s probably what the problem is.

Well...I'm not sure if I can technically join because most of my books are consumed by audio...audiobooks. I listen while I work (I deliver mail) and usually continue listening at home...while cooking, cleaning, bathing, relaxing...who needs cable...I rarely watch TV anymore.

I couldn't work or do those other things by actually reading...so depending on length I can get a book a day done. I do actually read when a book I want isn't on audio...and many 1/2 books that are part of a series-- 1.5, 2.5 etc (usually novellas).

If I only read I would probably only get 12-15 full novels read in a year. By listening (and it helps that I can listen while I am working--delivering mail) I get over 300 full novels in a year and I have been able to experience a world of awesome books in so many different genres that I otherwise would never have been able to just by reading alone.

So...I commit to actually reading 2 books....probably novellas, and listening to 30 books this month. :D

[Sahira]

Hello and Happy New Year! Sign me up for 10 books!

They are mostly short stories but I'm hoping that it gets me out of a reading slump.
