I had just two goals for this year for my reading, none of which included the number of books I would read. That lessened the pressure to “read more and fast” and helped me abandon books freely if they didn’t catch my interest (usually by the 10% mark). Also, I mostly read before bed or via audiobooks when... microblog.pratikmhatre.com

@manton Thanks. I used Epilogue's New Post feature from the Goals tab. I've left some feedback on the Help forum.

@pratik That’s a book a week! How do you schedule and manage your reading?

@moonmehta It's mostly 'before bed' reading and audiobooks when walking or driving. Now, I commute to work only once a week; otherwise, I would've 'read' more audiobooks.

@stupendousman For what it's worth. I don't set a goal. The one in Micro.blog was a random one. I don't worry if I am reading more or fewer books. I also abandon freely if they don't catch my interest regardless of how well they were reviewed by others.

@pratik so many books! And I just realized that I never actually finished Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. It’s probably missing the last 80 or something pages because I dropped as it’s a physical book and I was going to travel in summer. Just set a reminder to pick it up when I return home again. 😂

@pcora You MUST finish it. One of my favorite books this year. Also, read 'Life of AJ Fikry' by the same author.

@pratik yes! I dunno how could I forgot about it. I was glued to it before traveling. For some reason, I had the thought of having finished it! Btw, I agree with @manton. Great list. I picked four to my to be read. Downloading samples today.

@pratik Nice! My goal this year was just to read one more book than however many I'd currently finished. I love seeing all your covers there.

@Ddanielson Yea, me too. Picky, lazy reader in my old age. But with Little Free Library and Libby ebooks, easy to browse, sample, and discard books. Still, when 50% read, I have to finish. My corner LFL serves about 500 books annually, so fun to manage and track with LibraryThing.

@Ddanielson I usually tolerate it for about 10-15%
