@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.

@kimlockhartga I've never had a reading goal. I've got one book and one audiobook going at all times. I probably go through around 75-100 per year. When I was young I was often reading up to 4 books concurrently. My brain was good at overclocking back then. 😄 @bookstodon

You know the drill, @bookstodon Whatcha reading this weekend? ❤📚👀

I finished WE ARE THE CRISIS, the excellent second installment of Cadwell Turnbull's Convergence Saga. NO GODS, NO MONSTERS was the first book.

I'm currently reading Ed Park's bizarro SAME BED DIFFERENT DREAMS.

Next up: THE FUTURE, by Naomi Alderman, author of THE POWER.

@kimlockhartga still trudging through audiobook Determined by Robert Sapolsky. Not very accessible I'm afraid, even though I'm already on board the "no free will" train. @bookstodon
