Day job workload + mental health have been an issue lately, so the #readinggoal took a hit last week, only logging 6 #comcbooks and mostly at the tail end.
Usually, outside of animation, I'm not a huge #DCComics guy but #AbsoluteBatman is so fucking fresh, esp. compared to all the other bat books.
Despite being sick and having my day job devastate my soul, the #readinggoal made decent progress this past week. A solid number, and some fun #comicbooks.
I'm really growing enamored with #IDW #Godzilla books of late, and Starship Godzilla is the best of the bunch I think. Never sleep on #Spawn.
This last week I got really bogged down on my #readinggoal for the year by God-Puncher. The lettering in this digest-sized #comicbook really slowed me down. Read the blurbs about it, but in short visually awesome, but hard AF to read.
#DarkHorse is still kicking ass on #Cyberpunk2077 comics though
Honestly, starting off on the 2026 #ReadingGoal low-key, maybe even high-key, on fire. Good pace, helped by me being in a very #comicbooks mood.
Very #Spawn heavy this past week, but seriously y'all should not be sleeping on this new era of #IDW #Godzilla comics, the Kai-Sei era is really fun.
2026 rolls on strong with my #readinggoal cooking in at 11 #comicbooks!
Fun fact, I've never before been huge on #GIJoe as a comic series, but I loved the cartoon and toys, and s0emt too m7ch time on the #YoJoe site looking at toys I never got as a kid. #ImageComics does the best books!
Sometimes book goals are silly but sometimes reaching them is more than a number. I've read 30 library books this year, which is well over my goal of 12 and the amount of physical books I picked up at the actual library is also a good sign. #reading #books #bookstodon @bookstodon #readinggoal
I think my next book will be The Rainfall Market by You Yeong-Gwang. I've been wanting to listen to it since I heard about it on TikTok. It's only 6 hours long which is shorter than what I've been reading lately which will help me catch up on my reading goal a bit. I'll probably start it tomorrow.
My personal #books #ReadingGoal this year is to find & read every book that Richard Wagamese wrote. I have read 3 of his books so far & loved them. He's one of my fave #Indigenous authors in #Canada.
Richard Wagamese was one of Canada’s foremost #IndigenousAuthors & esteemed public speaker & #storyteller. A professional writer since 1979, he was a newspaper columnist & reporter, radio & television broadcaster & producer, documentary producer & author of 14 titles from various #Canadian publishers.
He was a success in every genre of writing he tried. An #Ojibway from the #Wabaseemoong #FirstNation in Northwestern #Ontario, he became the first #NativeCanadian to win a National Newspaper Award for Column Writing in 1991. He won the Alberta Writers Guild Best Novel Award for his debut novel, Keeper’n Me in 1994 & the Canadian Authors Association Award for Fiction for his third novel Dream Wheels, in 2007. One Native Life was one of The Globe & Mail’s 100 Best Books of 2008 & One Story, One Song was awarded the George Ryga Award for Social Awareness in Literature in 2011.
Indian Horse, the feature film, is based on his book of the same title.
If you haven't read any of his books yet, I highly recommend finding them at your local library 👍📚
Looks exceedingly likely that I won't finish the two books I'm currently reading so they will have to go on 2025's tally, but my efforts this year sum up to 11 #books. My goal was 12,000,000 but I fell a bit short. #ReadingGoal
You cans see what I read over here:

I read 33 #books this year, totalling about 18,000 pages. Here they are in chronological order. I did not have a #BookChallenge or #ReadingGoal this year at all. I stopped doing those because it started to feel like a chore.
For 2024, I had made the decision to NOT set a #ReadingGoal for total number of books or #ReadingStreaks for the year in #Goodreads, #StoryGraph, #Bookwyrm, or #HardcoverApp. In 2023, it started feeling like work to meet my goal and I said, "No more of that!". It was a great decision...
5 weeks in and just finished my 5th book this year. Close but still on track to achieve my reading goal of 1 book a week 😁
My reading goal this year is one book a week. Second book ✅
This year my #readingGoal is quite ambitious: 52 books—one a week 😄
I've reached my goal of reading 52 books and plays during the year. I know that's just a fraction of what some people read, and a lot more than others. It was a little bit harder for me to get there this time, but it's the fourth year in a row now that I've met or exceeded the goal. And I've already started on 2024.
Book Tracker also provides the option to keep track of audiobooks. When viewing the details of a book, you can create a new reading status and select the "Time" option. Simply input the duration of the audiobook and start tracking your progress. #ReadingProgress #ReadingGoal #audiobook #book #BookTracker
#2023 is almost over, and while there's still *much* more work to do (/sigh/), at least I managed to break my "books read in one year" record for the second year in a row (I read 80 books in 2021, 96 books in 2022, and 111 books in 2023).
Protip: #ShortStories *totally* count as individual #books, so if you're a book or two shy of your #ReadingGoal for the year (and you're into #dystopian #SciFi), snag a copy of "The Collected Stories of #PhilipKDick" from your local library, and prepare to have your brain melted, scrambled, and/or warped, a few dozen pages at a time.
Happy half year mark mastodonians. We're going to get this #ReadingGoal done in no time! #Books #Berks

Does anybody have the slightest clue how one updates one's #ReadingGoal in #Bookwyrm? Mine is ridiculously unambitious 😆 I want to bump it up and can't find where/how to do that. Halp?
