Okay...another dorky title to this blog. Please, let me explain. I just signed up to GoodReads and I cannot resist all the time suckage. I just can't repel its power! I feel like Ackbar did in ROTJ because I simply can't fight against the power of GoodReads. My friend Ginny said she used it to track her book reading. I decided, since I am trying to read 26 books this year, that I should track them, too. I already had a record from OverDrive reader, but it doesn't give way in the much of organizing or helping me find more books.
GoodReads - its nuts! I just spent only ten minutes -only ten, mind you- and I added 88 books alone that I want to read this year. I also used some of those ten minutes to add the 27 I read last year. Well, okay...20, really. Seven were graphic novels and I am not really counting them, or maybe I'll count them for a quarter of a book. That feels like cheating. Let's just call it 21 books. It's a good number.
Well....bring it on. 26 this year - that is a book every fortnight. According to the Pew Research Center's 2013 reports, the average number of books the average American reads is 12 a year. The median number is 5 per year.
Where do you stand in those numbers? What is your goal this year?
oh just wait until you start getting into the book discussions! You should add me. I'll post the link on facebook.
