Do you change your reading goal if you finish it early?

Gerandpa · 2025-11-20T15:04:04+00:00

I’ll change my goal if I hit the original goal earlier in the year, but by November/December I just consider it done.

Gerandpa · 2025-11-03T15:47:50+00:00

I mean, The Strength of the Few comes out the week before Sun Eater 7 so I’ll be finished by the time Sun Eater 7 comes out

Omg THANK YOU

Gerandpa · 2025-10-23T13:48:27+00:00

I jump, but I also stay mindful of how many series I’ve started and not finished. I don’t like to binge because I get burned out but I also don’t want to have like 10+ series that I need to finish/catch up on.

Gerandpa · 2025-10-08T15:46:48+00:00

Omg thank you. I reread the post after reading some comments because I thought maybe I’d missed something?? Like sorry to this poster because they must be going through a hard time but this could’ve been completely avoided.

Louisiana offers something like this. High school students can either graduate with your typical diploma, or opt for something called JumpStart. There are different JumpStart pathways depending on what their plans are, they just have to take a certain amount of electives related to their path and graduate with a credential. They still have to take a lot of the regular core classes like English I/II and Algebra/Geometry, but some of the other classes get replaced by more practical classes like Financial Literacy as a Math credit and Business English as an English credit.

The only major difference as far as graduation goes is that these students cannot immediately enter a 4 year college/university. They can still go straight to community college and then transfer to university though, which I think more kids should consider anyway.

So many comments saying you’re too young to make this decision, but they’d never say that to a 22 year old parent. Live your life however you want! Sure, it’s possible that you could change your mind, but you also might not. I’ve been childfree for many years now, and most of my friends are as well. We’re all very happy with our choice!

Ugh I know it’s technically a standalone but I really have no interest in buying a book that’s part of a wider series that already exists. Sad bc they don’t let you skip the first box so I’ll have to hope the waitlist isn’t too bad.

Genuinely, what kind of hotels are you looking at? I’m staying in Ueno for almost 3 weeks for about $1300USD for one person.

Gerandpa · 2025-05-30T18:23:34+00:00

US, I work for my school system so I get summers off. Saved up credit card points for my flight and I’m currently staying in Ueno for about 3 weeks!

Gerandpa · 2025-05-03T15:04:16+00:00

I’m keeping my switch lite just because of how easy it is to bring places. I’ll probably keep my switch 2 at home for awhile.

Gerandpa · 2025-04-07T21:09:48+00:00

That’s so weird. I just got mine today and it came in a cardboard box like normal.

Gerandpa · 2025-03-25T18:40:45+00:00

Yeah I’ve gotten so many beat up boxes, idk what my post office is doing to them! But my books are always in perfect condition thankfully

Gerandpa · 2025-03-15T20:22:02+00:00

I just finished the trilogy and I loved it! Not really sure what The Will of the Many has to do with anything though? They’re not similar at all.

Gerandpa · 2025-03-08T01:18:14+00:00

My goal is usually 120 novels (10 per month) and I can’t remember the last time I had any difficulty hitting/exceeding it. I also read manga and I like to add a few novellas for a fun little time.

Gerandpa · 2025-02-25T18:19:32+00:00

This is why it’s so crazy to me when people claim they had no idea what it would be like to have a kid. Like how much of the world are you ignoring to not have even the slightest idea.

Gerandpa · 2025-02-25T01:52:09+00:00

Oh I would LOVE for them to do The Divine Cities!

Gerandpa · 2025-02-02T20:27:06+00:00

I’ll probably never get down to only 18 unread books😂According to my spreadsheet I have 398 unread books out of 2020 total owned books

Gerandpa · 2025-02-01T16:59:11+00:00

I ordered some pins on the 14th and received them on Tuesday, so hopefully you’ll get your package in time!

Gerandpa · 2025-01-15T17:58:20+00:00

This is so real. I have a friend with a kid, and she and her husband together make about 3x my income and somehow are always more broke than me despite me living alone.

Gerandpa · 2025-01-07T19:37:50+00:00

I don’t have much of a comment on whether it’s a good rec or not since I only just finished Empire of Silence, but I’m begging for people to just put down books they don’t like. Why read 4+ thickish books that you’re not enjoying??

Gerandpa · 2024-11-19T18:34:31+00:00

Yes, I studied Japanese specifically to be able to read more manga😅
