Properly people, I’ve been pondering loads concerning the previous yr and the way it was a ‘fail’ in so many respects weblog/studying sensible. Sure, I managed to finish my 2025 Goodreads Studying Problem (barely). All my different studying challenges had been abject failures.
My “What’s In A Identify” Studying Problem” 50% I learn 3 out of 6
I learn solely 14/26 titles for my A-Z Studying Problem (those that I didn’t get to are listed right here…)
My Beat The Backlist Studying Problem fell quick by 18 titles
