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!

November 28, 2020November 21, 2020

Welcome to my book review of The Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall. As I was gathering a couple pictures, and reading the synopsis of the book to refresh myself on the book, I could swear that I’d done a review on it before. So I went to my site,…
