2025 RECAP: (sort of)

I didn't track my books as well in 2025; it was enough that I attempted to read them- let alone, finish them. Looks as though I might have missed a few.

ROOTS: 160. - from my ticker
LIST: 137- usually excludes short works, articles, etc.
FOLDER: 205

Because I had already met my goal- I increased it. I shall not be repeating the increase. Every day is an unknown challenge. One day- I read a book- and the next week or so, I may have no interest in reading. I cannot plan, effectively, how many books I will feel like reading or how many I will accomplish reading.

In fact, I was almost contemplating switching to chapters- rather than books. I began one book that is of interest to me. (but not enough to actually dig in, currently). I was thinking of counting it chapter by chapter to stir myself into completion.

Just take it easy, Eg. Reading should be fun, not something you HAVE to do.

I have concluded my goal. I have no further intentions of changing it. I am having too much difficulty remembering to check in; day of week; and whether or not I updated ticker. Ticker matches posted reads- elsewhere- so I must be pretty close.

I may, from time to time, remember to add/track books read- but if I don't....

I concluded my goal in April- but I must have marked the marker doo-hickey, incorrectly. So, Ive rectified that. I don't truly anticipate reading anymore ... but we shall see. I keep getting shut out by my computer and it seems like weeks before I recall to check back in. So far nothing new; just catching up on reading missed posts.
