All right kids it's time for my annual "books wot I read" blog post where I review my year in reading:
https://www.stjohnkarp.net/blog/books-wot-i-read-in-2025/
It's been a fun year in books and I read some really wild stuff. Here's to all the fun we're looking forward to in the new year!
#GoodReads was considerate enough to inform me that I have not succeeded in completing my reading goals for 2025 (No shit. Not a great year for sustained focus...:-/)
This also reminds me that I need to get the fuck off of Goodreads(Amazon) and stop using it. It's been crap for years and will, most likely, continue to be so.
About 2(?) years ago I exported all my lists over to #LibraryThing (?); but, I never managed to start using it.
Getting off Goodreads seems to be a good little resolution to complete for my New Year.
I don't really consider my reading much of a social activity; but, I do like having a public database of books, and creating some #ReadingLists is useful, to me. Also, the incremental tracking important, since I'm usually in the middle of about 6+ books at a time.
Are there any other applications I might consider besides LibraryThing? Suggestions?

I muse about #AI, #ArtsPedagogy, #ReadingLists, and the joys of rebuilding a music library. Finally, my #ResearchSemester officially begins!
