I'm doing a new challenge, 26 Classics in 26.

And I do like reading nonfiction and listening to nonfiction works really well for me.

So

you know, stories about women, again, the 18th and 19th century.

I like to have multiple books on the go at the same time.

So, you know, I can have options according to how I'm, how I'm feeling.

Yes.

Well, I really do like keeping track of the books that I read on Goodreads.

I find having the challenge number and watching the number creep up really satisfying.

Because it's funny, like I've always been a reader.

I played hockey for one year when I was in grade four.

And like for decades after, parents of the other kids on the hockey team...

which like I'd run into them in the supermarket and they'd be like talking about me and all my hockey gear reading in the hockey dressing room.

So it's like, I never needed motivation to reading, but somehow the good read, the good read challenge does really, does really help.

And of course it's just nice to be able to go back.

Like, especially when I'm recommending books to people, I can never remember the titles, but there they are.

So that helps.

And I'm really enjoying doing the challenges on Instagram.

There's just something about reading with other people that's really nice and seeing what other people think about books.

One thing about Goodreads that I like too is I love reading one-star reviews.
