  1. I can’t list all my books. Goodreads said I read 163 books by the middle of December in 2025 🙂 All of which were LitRPG or Space Opera/Sci-fi Adventure, IIRC.

    1. Was that all just in December, or for all of 2025? Maybe I should do a post where I recap my year in reading (I don’t do Goodreads anymore, since I can’t afford to get sucked into Goodreads drama, but I do keep a reading journal).

      1. That was all of 2025. December was my lowest month, as I was in the hospital for 10 days due to getting double bypass surgery. Even after getting home, I was too tired even to read. Spent a lot of time sleeping. I’ve started reading again, though 🙂

        I can’t say that I “do” Goodreads, but since I use a Kindle, Goodreads keeps track of books when I start reading them and marks them as complete when I rate them when I’m done. Then they send me a year-end e-mail that tells me how many books I read that year.
