Do you guys care about actual chronological order which includes the short stories and bonus things related to a book series?
I actually lose my mind when I see it says Trilogy or Duology but when I search there are actually 13 books but only 2 are mentioned as primary as if the others hold no importance. I have to check again and again that the book I am going to start, is it just one book or part of a series and if so, what is the order What do you think?

The illustrations are so cute, but I hate clowns

Rereading one of my favourite book series from my childhood which has stayed with me since I read it. SUPER excited to get back into this and read it again, already experiencing nostalgia and absolutely devouring the first book 🥰.

Hello all! As the year winds down, I have started to think about setting reading goals for next year. I found that I was able to read a good number of books this year (for me), and a lot of them were shorter, lighter novels. This was a lot of fun for me! However, I found that I do have a few longer, denser works (both non fiction and novels) that I've put off, knowing that it will take me awhile to get through them.

I'm considering setting my primary reading goal for next year to focus on pages read vs books read, in order to allow me to delve into these longer texts without feeling like I'm losing time by doing so. Has anyone had success with this approach? I think it would be helpful, but I do also consume a non-zero percentage of books via audiobook (about 20% of my books this year have been audio), so I know those wouldn't count towards a page goal. Any other pitfalls towards counting in this way?

Finally, does anyone know if there's a way to set a Page Number goal in Pagebound? I know there is in Storygraph (I use both platforms because I love them both for different things), but I haven't seen a way to do so in Pagebound yet, and not sure if I'm missing it or if it doesn't exist.

Anyway, I'd love to hear peoples' thoughts! Tell me if you think this is a disaster, or how you'd approach it, or anything else. Thank you!
