It’s that time again…

May goal:

I’ll commit to 4 books for May, including a business book that’s almost finished.


What I read:

In-progress:

Abandoned:

  • none

Note: I quit linking titles to that big site that funds the rich dude and his space wars with other rich dudes. I’ve linked to Goodreads, but if you’re looking to support independent bookstores, my favorite local shop is Old Town Books (they ship!), and you can support my favorite podcast and a local shop of your choosing through their Bookshop.org link at KickBezosInTheBalls.org. And you can never go wrong with your local library!


2024 Progress

Star Ratings: Based on the flat stars Goodreads displays in list view, not the quarter-star system I assign in my reviews

  • 5 stars: 1 book
  • 4 stars: 7 books
  • 3 stars: 4 books
  • 2 stars: 4 books
  • 1 star: 0 books
  • 0 stars: 0 books
  • Abandoned: 4 books
  • Not rated: 0 books

Pages Read/Hours Listened: (does not include partial books, abandoned books, or edited manuscripts)

  • January – 803p, 9h 31m
  • February – 593p, 14h 41m
  • March – 1034p, 0 (I listened to some but didn’t finish)
  • April – 1770p, 0 (no audiobooks)
  • May – 1004p, 0 (I listened but didn’t finish)

Reading Goals:

1. Read 36 books I finished 3 books toward my Goodreads Challenge and I’m one ahead of schedule.

  • Audiobooks: 3
  • Kindle: 13
  • Physical books: 0

2. Decrease my TBR – 

  • Jan 1: 64 physical20 digital
  • Feb 4: TBD*/20
  • Mar 2: TBD*/20
  • Apr 3: TBD*/20
  • May 2: TBD*/19
  • June 3: TBD*/20

* I purged a LOT of books when we moved, and I’ll be reunited with my books soon!

3. Read 24 minutes per day – May 31 was Day 989 of my reading streak.


It wasn’t a huge reading month, so I fell short of my goal. June’s going to be very busy, so I expect I’ll lean heavily on audiobooks. I’m almost done with Patrick Stewart’s memoir (FINALLY) and have no idea what I’ll move on to after that.

I’ll commit to 3 books for June.
