Do you have book goals? Why? Shawshank, December 3, 2020December 3, 2020 Do you have a book goal? If so why? I personally don’t have a book goal. I’ve done the whole GoodReads reading challenge. I didn’t like it. I felt like I needed to read. Had too just so I could click another box. It gave me anxiety. I purposely chose shorter and shorter books to quickly complete my goal, and then I could announce, Hey guys y u read so slow? I think at that point people are focusing on quantity over quality. That’s not how someone should read. These are my thoughts. Are you even retaining any information/story out of a book if that’s number 401 for the year? I’m not keeping count, but I’ve read a pretty good number. But yeah, I feel wicked guilty for not having read the next short story in Full Dark, No Stars. I have a feeling I’ll be reading some on Saturday after work, and some Sunday before I make the book club post. Sorry a little tangent there. Read how you want, if you’re having fun, keep doing it the way you’re going. Reading is awesome. You do you! Lockup Library blogbloggerbookbook goalbook loverbooksjournaltalking about books

I loved the book as much as the miniseries. Newspaper journalist Camille Preaker, is broken. Mentally broken. Fresh out of a recent hospitalization for… Read More
Lockup Library Book haul – The Institute February 12, 2021 Hey book nerds! Just wanted to share a quick haul from a couple of weeks ago, when I was in BiggerCity. I was a little disappointed at the selection at the only place that sells books in that town; Walmart. But trying to be a glass is half full type… Read More
