TBH I want to read a book a month at the minimum. Attainable goal. Depression took my love of books away and I want to try to fight to take it back. Romance, horror, slice of life, you name it, I want to just read again.
you have bugs in your code? sounds yummy.
I have such a long list of books to read that I just can't get the motivation to read. then of course I found a book from 1946 at an antique store called "a skeptic discovers mormonism" and of course I was way too curious and i've read most of it now. It's very unhinged. I can't wait to get out of this mormonism hyperfocus wormhole it's melting my brain. Esp because this book
anyway so my goal is to actually read the non-brain melting stuff on my list. even just a few hours a week would be a win.

So after that i went and grabbed a kindle to start making some downloads and try out some other series.
My main goal is to just simply finish a book per month while also reading at least 15-20 mins a day to keep things moving.
I've been mainly lurking in the Fantasy and Horror genres when finding new things to give a go.

If you haven't read the Throne of Glass series by SJM too you definitely should! In my opinion, it's better than ACOTAR. The beginning is a bit rough (but I thought ACOTAR was too), but it was her first series and she started it when she was a teenager.
I enjoyed These Hollow Vows similarly to ACOTAR, so if you'd like something by a different author with a similar feel, I'd pick that up!

I haven't read Throne of Glass yet but have heard nothing but really good things! Really excited to check it out if you re saying its better than ACOTAR. Ugh, ok i know totally what you mean about the beginning being rough. So that shouldn't be much of an issue!If you haven't read the Throne of Glass series by SJM too you definitely should!

At this point of my adult life I feel like my goal is to read just one book in the year laksjdlkfj I'm so bad at sitting down and reading when there's so many shows to binge (which also lets me do something with my hands too) heh
Right now I'm hoping to start and finish Gideon the Ninth cause my friend lent me her hardcopy! It stares at me from my shelf and it's been a couple months already lmao
I was so busy last year that my time to entertainment was very little, and I was mostly using my free time to watch anime. Ended the year with burnout and anxiety, but at least the animes were fun.
I want to be an avid reader again and read, at least, one book (not academic or work related. Those I've been reading a lot) per month. Not much, but def more than what I am doing now 🙃

I barely read anything that wasn't for work last year, so this year I set the goal of a book a month. Last month was great, read my book, really enjoyed it. This month I'm trying to read ACOTAR and it's just.. I'm stuck. I never feel like reading and I can't tell if it's the book or the depression. Maybe a bit of both.
Anyway I love fantasy (especially clean fantasy but I can deal with smut if needed be), adventure and horror most. Really enjoy Jason Pargin's John Dies at the End series as well.
