Still reading The Twelve by Justin Cronin. Book 2 of The Passage trilogy. Enjoying it enough to not give up, but not enjoying it enough it enough to read it quickly, so it's going slowly. Going to try to speed up and finish it quickly.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

What I did - and maybe this will work for you - was sign up for Goodreads and look up a bunch of books I’d read and enjoyed. I gave them cursory star ratings. Just 4-5 out of 5 for a couple that I really liked. Then I thought of some that I’d disliked, or some books I’d never even consider reading. I gave those 1 star.

Now Goodreads suggests books I find I’m actually interested in a lot of the time, and it gets better as I leave little stars of approval or reproach on the platform 🤣

Also, there are tons of people and lists to follow on there. I’ve got a ton of stuff on my Kobo that I’d never have found otherwise.

Weird. I have 1400 read and almost 300 as want to read and don't like Goodreads suggestions at all.
