Tom - KB9ENS<p>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 <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a>. My goal was 12,000,000 but I fell a bit short. <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/ReadingGoal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ReadingGoal</span></a> </p><p>You cans see what I read over here:<br><a href="http://bookrastinating.com/user/farmertre/2024-in-the-books?key=f95d7f20ad0c45beb31e61b09ae0a116" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://</span><span class="ellipsis">bookrastinating.com/user/farme</span><span class="invisible">rtre/2024-in-the-books?key=f95d7f20ad0c45beb31e61b09ae0a116</span></a></p>
Dustin<p>This year my <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/readingGoal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>readingGoal</span></a> is quite ambitious: 52 books—one a week 😄</p>
Joe MH<p>My <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ReadingGoal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ReadingGoal</span></a> as ever this year will be to read... whatever I want, and definitely not set myself any kind of <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ReadingChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ReadingChallenge</span></a>. I surely can't be the only person who finds them a bit weird? Kind of feel like if reading is a challenge, you're doing it wrong!</p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a></p>
