I completed my reading goal of 31 books and decided to put it at 40 books for now. I was wondering how's everyone managing their goal, do you set a goal high at the start of the year or do you set a goal you now you can achieve and then update it I personally prefer to update it as i go bc i feel less pressured

I'm curious how you all decide on your ratings for "Enjoyment". I usually base mine on whether it was a good read and if I never got bored. But sometimes it feels strange to give a book five stars if it deals with sensitive topics or feels too heavy. So I’m wondering if y'all rate based on how much fun you had reading it or more on the impact the book had on you.

idk what to expect of this, i love casey mcquiston and i think im gonna enjoy this book but ive seen a lot of ppl talking abt the religious trauma aspect of it and, as someone who's been raised atheist and don't know anything abt religion, idk if its gonna be a problem or not im excited to start nonetheless !

Even if you thought this book was kinda mid (which I did tbh) reading julia by Sandra Newman afterwards was incredible and made me think more fondly about the original tbh

Me at sentence two of this book: I went in blind, im ready now 😂
