So... I still have no idea what I'm doing challenge-wise this year, if anything other than just reading stuff. I thought I missed my chance to complete the GR 2014 challenge - I was short by two - then I realized there were two big books I'd been reading from throughout the year: game guides! So I entered read dates for them and hit my goal of 60.
Congratulations on just making your goal! :)I've opted to continue setting my GR Reading Challenge widget at 12, regardless of my actual goal(s), until the powers that be find a solution for those of us that like to Reread!

Awesome. Exactly what I was aiming for. I even found my dice in an old box in the garage today.

And now I'm pleasantly drunk reading by the fireplace. The end of the year is just an awesome time.

Well, it's two months in, but I've sorta made a little progress. I'm preparing to copy my calibre install onto my new computer and I've got both ereaders charging.That's a start, right? :)

It's a great start!
I've read a few books! A handful of romances and The ROok.
LOVED the Rook.
Soooo... I've got my new Fire, and I'm all "WOW! I've got a lot of books in my Amazon account I've totally forgotten about."Cool, right? Yeah, no. I mean, yeah, lots of books that are like found money, but no to trying to obtain some semblance of order. I'm NOT going to manually sort nearly 2000 books into collections on the thing. Mama needs batch edit beyond what the Fire offers.
So I used the Goodreads / Kindle integration and am in the process of importing them to my GR account. I figure I can sort them here, on somewhat-organized Kindle-specific shelves, which I can then browse on the GR for K app, and then do a quick title search > download on the Fire.
And hey, did ya notice I've been READING??? I know, right?
Gadgetry is so motivating. Free gadgetry, even more so. Wuv me wittle Fire. :D

Welcome back to the land 'o reading, and congratulations on your new Fire! I hope you enjoy! :)
I am enjoying the Fire very much, thanks! We are best buddies. I have this case for it:http://www.golifeworks.com/the-blazer...
It's a sturdy case with a zipper and notepad, and I really like that it props in both vertical and horizontal position without getting all floopy like some cases do. The panel that the tablet is attached to rotates.
Anyway... I was reading two perfectly good books (well, "good" might be a stretch on one of them) but I decided to go ahead and start a trial of Kindle Unlimited and I've suddenly found myself in the middle of a smutfest. :D

I've actually been reading a lot lately, but it's fanfic and other non-GR-able things. So no challenge updates but I know, and that's all that matters. :D
:-DI feel you!
