Spoilers ahead!
A while back for personal reasons, (that maybe you can relate to) I had to give up on using Goodreads. While I enjoyed tracking my reading, rating books, and leaving reviews, there was too much pressure on the site to speed through books just to hit a goal.
I found myself enjoying reading less, thinking about what I’d read less, and overall getting less enrichment out of the process. I’ve since moved onto one of those pocket-sized journals that lets you notate your reads physically, and found that a much more personally satisfying experience.
However, I’ve missed sharing! So to get the best of both worlds, I’ve decided to start (occasionally) writing blog posts. These will be either about a book I’ve just finished, or one I read a while ago but can’t stop thinking about. Either way, I expect it to be a lot of fun. I’m looking forward to making my thoughts shareable… just in a less rigid and stressful way, this time! If you’re planning to come along with me, welcome, and warning: spoilers ahead.
