I do too, but then I treat it as an emergency bookmark stash instead of a stamp stash.
Speaking of that, I need to get to the library before Monday.

I should probably start reading.
I didn't meet my Goodreads goal last year. :c
But maybe I can this year. I'll probably stick to 20 again.

You didn't even get to read twenty books all last YEAR? I'm so sorry
I'd go crazy without the escape into books.

I like reading but I stopped reading most books altogether in high school.
It takes a long time for me to finish a book, and my attention span is too short to focus a lot of the time ..
So over the past couple years I've been trying more and more!
I managed to read about ten or so this past year, which I'm really proud of. c:

Do you listen to audiobooks? Is it more frustrating or less?

More frustrating.
It turns into background noise for me.
And if I am focusing on it, I feel like I could read it faster than they're speaking it.
I read pretty fast in general, but it's reading a lot of content in one period that's difficult for me. ; u;
I've been improving though.
I actually finished a book in one day in November which surprised me, and before that I finished another within a week.
(Two years ago, it took me over a year to read a single book. > >)

Yes, you may roll 10 on the 3rd. You have until the server time resets on the 4th!
Also, Knuffel F/P contest started today, not sure if any of you knew :)

wow, getting a chance to actually read through more books is REALLY increasing your speed quickly, then! That's a lot of progress!

It is! And I have a lot of books on my list to read, so I should be set for 2016.
Thank you, Kyan!
I was just thinking about the F/P contest, too. ;D

Ooo, recommend some to me? I kind of go through anywhere from 1-8 books a day, so I'm always looking for new authors. >.<
