Haaaate Goodreads. I love just the default apple app “reading list”, maybe it’s with android too.

I did it to keep track of how many books I read per year and it allows you to create whatever categories you like (I like to track how many women authors I read, classics, and non-fiction). You can also make a “to read” list by scanning the books barcode or just adding manually. It’s incredibly no-frills and I’ve been using it for years!

Where did the goal of 50 come from? If you’ve never tracked your reading before, I would make your first year’s resolution be to track your reading for a year (a task in itself to figure out your best method if you have ADHD) and just read naturally. If you end up reading 10 books this year, then you can make a more realistic goal if you want to start bringing numbers into it as you can take your reading habits from this year into consideration.

Not personally but also don’t draw or annotate in my books. If you think it’s cool and it’s your book, go for it! Experiment with a cheap/old book, and if you see a lot of it on social media, comment on the YouTube or tiktok clip for paint type/application advice from the creator?

Robin Hobb’s Farseer series gives you 13 meaty books.

Good luck.

Well that sounds very King-like tbh!!
