    Yay! More Goodreads friends!! A TLP GR group sounds fun - I don't have a preference for public/private.

    My 2017 reading goal was 25 and I got to 45! Looking forward to lots of books in 2018 :)

    My new reading goal for 2018 is 52. One book every week. Which should be possible because I read one on my Kindle and listen to one audiobook at the same time. Especially if I throw in some short novels. lol.

    Those audiobooks go fast because I listen to it when I get ready in the morning (45 min), and at night (15 min). And if it's a good book, also in my car on my way to and from work which is 2x35 min.

    Ok this is pretty random but i have had this book in my 'recommended' sidebar thing since i joined Goodreads like maybe 5 years ago and i swear, every.time i read ANY book, this one shows up as 'recommended because i read' whatever i just read - just interested to know, is this book spamming anyone else's GR feed?! (Because honestly as far as covers and judging by that goes, this isn't something i'd actually pick up!)

    I just clicked through my current recommendations and it wasn't there. But I swear this cover and title are familiar. I have not read it! And it's definitely not something I am drawn to either.

    Nope... it's just you Justine. Lol! :giggle But maybe it's a really good book? "don't judge a book by it's cover" and all.

    I haven't explored much yet... is there a way to say "stop shoving this in my face as a recommendation?" button? Then maybe it won't pop up again?

    So I have been admiring all your Goodreads challenges and wanted to share mine with you. Some of you might know that I like to read .... a lot! Its actually my favourite thing to do (apart from spending time with my kids obvs ... sort of).

    I was going to share the book cover version of my past GR challenges with you and then realised quite a few of my books have semi-naked man chests all over them so I didn't want you to think poorly of my choices :giggle

    So here are my challenges from the past few years ..... I think I have a problem. Justine @bellbird I think I might have to join you in the overachievers club room!

    You are funny @amandac. Half naked men is ok by me... maybe not to read but perfectly happy to admire - your book choices of course :giggle

    Wait! You read it even?! And it still comes up?! That was my next plan to deal with it- click it as already read it, so it may still haunt me!? Yep nutty GR!
