This year is going to throw me for a loop and probably be the worst emotional roller coaster ride I’ve been on in my life so far. Different aspects of my life are going to change, some for the better, and some for the worst. Either way both are going to be difficult to handle, much less as the same time. Anyways, bc of that I’m probably going to be re-reading my comfort books a lot this year. And if not reading those, it’s going to be lots of fluff bc I can’t handle much else rn. I need books that feel like a hug and characters that make me emotions that will be rare for me to feel rn. Ok wrapping this up fr now, I just wanted to have this here as an explanation as to why I barely read anything new this year, why my notes are probably going to be dry af, and why half of my reads are probably going to be audiobooks.

A new year and almost a whole year since I created this site (๑°⌓︎°๑) ‐ while it’s not that much cheaper or less time consuming than a physical journal this is definitely gonna be my final format for journaling ‐ while it’s a lot harder to customize (bc of my coding xp) it’s A LOT easier to keep track of books here ‐ and nothing beats having a search as someone who loves to re-read books + being able to add pictures to comments and cover spoilers ‐ it’s also lowkey made my kobo irrelevant bc I just write my end of ch. notes here 😭 ‐ all in all I’m so glad I randomly decided to take this project on and spend an ungodly amount of time figuring this shit out 😭 definitely worth it in the end ◡̈

I’m going to stop doing highlights I think ‐ one bc I keep forgetting to do them & two bc my “highlights” are all the chapters I liked (even when it’s the entire book lol)

I just spent like 30 minutes looking my for a cute holiday book and why do they all look bad to me 😭 like the vibes I was getting from them were off. I feel like the premise for all of them was like some new bitch moves into town, or like their ex does 😬. Anyways I found something that looks ok ‐ if not a little boring ‐ but it’s only like 100 pages so fuck it (and yea I’m counting it toward my book goal bc I’m desperate at this point)

I’m never giving myself such an insane reading goal ever again 😭 ‐ like I’m seriously delusional ‐ I even counted fanfics this year to help and I still don’t think I’m gonna reach it 😩😭

Why is it so hard choosing between re reading something, picking up a new book, or finishing a book your in the middle of 😩.
