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!
