Lets see - 3 miles, took an hour. 68 books, goal was 75 and I think it’s the new goal too. I read 7 books last year and one of them I started 17 times( it was a potential for a screenwriting project- book to series) and I still didn’t finish it. About to spend the day reading all the articles you linked. Happy New year!

I hear you on starting a book and not finishing it. I DNFed two books before starting Parable of the Sower because they were dragging and not holding my attention. I used to feel bad about not finishing books, but now, I realize there's no point in forcing myself to read something that is not engaging. Happy New Year, boo! Enjoy the reads.

I read over 100 books last year, and I oddly haven't set a goal yet this year. I need to do that.

Do you read more than one book at once, Nini? If so, are they fiction? Non fiction? A mix of both? How do you manage it?

Expand full comment

Yes I read more than one book at once. I usually mix fiction and nonfiction. TBH, I read A LOT of romance in 2024, which tend to be quick reads for me.

I read a lot of urban fiction/urban romance in 2024, and yes, those are quick reads for me as well. I enjoy them, though. How many books do you usually have going at once?

Whew. Right now I have about 6 books in progress. 🤦🏾‍♀️

1) Happy New Year. Here's to a prosperous, productive one for you

2) It's not user error: Chrome is just a memory HOG. Every tab you're opening is basically another instance of Chrome that you're opening

3) Currently reading "The butlerian jihad" ( I "found" all those Dune audiobooks), so I'm geeked out

Really happy to see more folks blogging again. I’m hoping that motivates me to post more. I only posted 7 times last year. Should be pretty simple to beat that record. 😂

You will definitely beat that record this year. I’m rooting for you, and I’ll be encouraging you from the sidelines.
