Unless there&#8217;s something to do it for me.<\/p>\n<p>But hey, I&#8217;ve got the GoodReads app on my phone!  And they totally have a challenge.  <\/p>\n<p>So I set myself at 100 books in 2014.  Totally reasonable and not at all expecting too much of myself, or setting myself up for failure, right?  Of course.  <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got 8 out of 100 read, and the website says I&#8217;m 21 books behind.  And I&#8217;m probably going to hit a few dead zones looking for stuff to read, because, holy shit, finding new stuff to read is HARD.  <\/p>\n<p>Upside?  20th Century Ghosts just came up available.  So I get to read that, finally.  Once I&#8217;m done with what I&#8217;m currently reading&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I really need to remember to add things to GoodReads as I start them, and mark them &#8216;finished&#8217; when I&#8217;m done. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll just go ahead and announce my failure now.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since I&#8217;ve only just started reading again, I decided to see if there was some simple, stupid, low-effort way of challenging myself.
