Connor 🚀@neverm0re666.bsky.social · 2y agoHIT MY 2024 READING GOALS. If you haven't read a book since high school. Change that. Don't like to read? False. You read every day, you just don't see it as reading. Like right now. So why not chip away at a book instead of your mental health <3
Also, I love StoryGraph. They are far superior to goodreads in every way. ESPECIALLY IF YOURE A DATA NERD. Their graphics and tracking are so fun and interesting. Also, it's NOT AMAZON AND The founder and owner is a black woman.
DITCH GOODREADS. USE STORYGRAPH.
