I love reading. I love books. I love finding out what people are reading and what they’ve enjoyed. Strangely enough, I’ve never been part of a book club.

If you’re a fan of books you have to be on Goodreads!

This year I’ve been binge-reading. I read a lot of books at once and then slowly read parts of some until the urge to binge struck again.

For the 2017 Reading Challenge I chose 100 books. As of today, my Goodreads Reading Challenge is 54% complete. I think I’ll read more during the summer.

As part of self-publishing, it’s been interesting to see how people use Goodreads. I leave short reviews that serve as reminders to myself. I tend to forget if I’ve read books or not. Goodreads basically acts as my journal. If I read something and forget about whether I liked it or not, it won’t be unusual for me to leave zero stars. That’s not a reflection on the book but rather that my bad memory was back and I couldn’t remember what I had thought of the book.

I enjoy being part of the community at Goodreads and it’s important as a reader and writer to see what books people are enjoying and recommending.
