@bookstodon Just out of curiosity, how close are you to your reading goal for the year? I need to read 12 more books to meet the goal I set for myself. 📚📚📚📚
Not everyone works the same way, of course. We've discussed before that reading goals are counterproductive for many. Having a goal really helps me, but it doesn't work for everyone. Just like reading for pleasure and reading to write a review are very different processes.
@szilviavirag@bookstodon Excluding re-reads, I enjoyed A Desolation Called Peace (Arkady Martine) and Magician (Raymond E. Feist). The latter is a bit dated though - few female characters and they mostly exist as love interests for the male characters.
@bookstodon Am I the only one who dislikes dust jackets and can't wait to get rid of them only to be sad that the actual #books are not decorated pretty?
Going through my #bookshelf this week has revealed a pattern. Mayhaps that is why I tend to buy paperbacks? But then I also dislike how flimsy they are.
@Lullaby@bookstodon I dislike them as well, I find they slip off whilst I'm reading and I have to keep adjusting them. I tend to buy paperbacks as well, also for the reduced weight and space, but people often buy me hardbacks as gifts.
