It looks like the second half of this year will need some non fiction to balance things out a bit!

rockpools Same. Round about February I was feeling v pleased with myself - had a nice 60/40 split. Now, mine looks almost identical to yours! 2y
Magpiegem @rockpools some years I read tons of non fiction/ memoirs but I think I‘ve worked my way through a lot of the authors I enjoy reading. I need to find some new ones. 2y

Happy New Year 🥂❤️

My only reading challenge last year was #nonfiction2021 and I read more than I thought I would! Quite a few of my favourite reads were non-fiction.

batsy Happy New Year! ❤️ 2y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Great job! I‘m so glad you found it worked for you and led you to some great books. 2y
Nute Happy New Year, Katie!💜🥳💜 I have often been surprised, just like you, at how much I enjoy reading non-fiction. Maybe because a lot of it is very well-written and, quite often, truth is stranger than fiction so the intrigue, unbelievable and incredible telling pulls the reader along at a breakneck pace. Great reading accomplishment! 2y
youneverarrived @Riveted_Reader_Melissa thanks for putting it together. Definitely inspired me to read more 🙌 2y

Does anyone else use storygraph to track their reading?? I heard about it on a Book Riot podcast so imported my good reads and am checking it out! It‘s certainly prettier than Goodreads!

wideeyedreader I‘ve been using it for about six months! It‘s so great 3y
Amandajoy I just started using it this week, it‘s lovely. I‘m still figuring everything out. 3y
AkashaVampie I just got it also. I haven't check it out much tho. 3y

Mitch @wideeyedreader @Amandajoy @AkashaVampie thanks guys. I‘m just figuring it out. When I did my import it‘s not imported all my read dates - so I can‘t break my years down.... did that happen to you guys? 3y
AkashaVampie @Mitch can't really help u out here. I attached my new GoodReads account (for my groups), but don't have any books logged in yet for it. Its on my list of things to do soon. 3y
Megabooks I‘m really enjoying it! 3y
wideeyedreader @Mitch I think it did for me, but I can‘t remember. You can change the years read for each book individually though 3y
julesG I've been using it on and off for a few months. I had the same problem with the 'read dates'. Since changing the dates takes ages, I did what any bookworm should do, I ignored it and read a book instead. 😁 3y
Mitch @julesG good advice! 🤣 3y
Amandajoy Some of my dates transferred, but not all of them so the stats are off. I think the all-time stats are right though. 3y
rabbitprincess I am sort of using it, mainly for the graphs 🤣 but not all of my books transferred over, and I think it didn‘t pick up books that I read in two different editions (e.g. audio and print) 3y
DGRachel I keep thinking I need to check this out, but I assume I need to do it on my laptop and I‘m too lazy to unplug it from my TV. 🤣 3y
Mitch @DGRachel Hahah... it works on my phone ( iphone) as well! 3y
LoriMcK I don‘t see storygraph in my iPhone store. Is that the app name? 3y
Mitch @LoriMcK you had to go via the storygraph website to get the iPhone app. 3y
LoriMcK Thanks @Mitch I‘m waiting for my goodreads export to upload and I‘m ready to go! 3y

@Simona I just got home from work and I don't think the second package was delivered yet. Should I wait for the second package or go ahead and open these lovelies? They look so cute! Purple is my favorite color and I love the antique travel wrapping too 💜 also, I don't know what's inside, but as soon as I opened the package, I smelled something delicious 😋 #2018nonfictionbookexchange

Simona You certainly can open it, I‘m going to the post office today, to see what is wrong...I‘m afraid that this isn‘t package with the books 😱 (edited) 6y
Simona Amanda, please contact me at gmail address simona . mikl 6y
Chocamanda @Simona I just sent you an email. I hope I got the address right! 6y
