Does anyone have bookish projects and goals they want to start in the new year? Like keeping up with a reading journal, starting a bookish Instagram, drawing characters, etc.?

I want to make a granny square crochet blanket with each square representing a book I read (so matching the colours in the covers), and I got a friend to make one for herself along with me.

I read on the phone and used to buy them on the kindle app, but I've been searching for alternatives since they took away the download option.

I've tried:

• kobo.com - but sometimes the english edition is not available on my country store;
• ebooks.com

They work but their websites and apps look old and clunky and the user experience is not good at all in my opinion. Are there any good alternatives?

Even better if they're more ethical or independent projects than google, amazon etc.

So I have 1 week off from school left and I really need to lock in reading Caraval. I've tried doing a random wheel with numbers of pages to read each day(I have to spin it everyday for a different one) but I literally have like 0 motivation. Every time I try read I just want to go on my phone and scroll.

Does anyone know how to overcome this laziness I would call it?

I had heard a rumor somewhere that this series started out as fan fiction of Master & Commander and that, by itself, would have been enough to get me to read this thing - to say nothing of the fact there are TALKING DRAGONS? I adore Temeraire and think Laurence fully deserves his captaincy.
