It sometimes makes me feel guilty for reading them so quickly, which is kind of why I'm going to slow it down just a bit (but definitely faster than the rate I'm going right now >.>)Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06763730567652893251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031575485604990008.post-62390905095828210662017-02-23T13:19:41.312-05:002017-02-23T13:19:41.312-05:00This s such a good and interesting post.

I completely agree with the points you made, I'm always thinking I'm behind schedule much reader faster and therefore I don't read the book properly. And I'm constantly thinking about what I need to read next and the book after that and so on. It's such a huge pressure. I love your idea of reading NEW books though. Completely new and fresh reads is definitely the way to go!!<br /><br />Cody @ <a href="http://literary-lyobsessed.blogspot.co.uk" rel="nofollow">Literary-ly Obsessed</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04888482625609869448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031575485604990008.post-23483853159421543232017-02-02T15:14:00.291-05:002017-02-02T15:14:00.291-05:00I know!

I can still reread books I love and new ones and make my goal. Though you a great point, who doesn't Goodreads count rereads?

I have started adding multiple editions of books so that they do count, but then it impacts my average rating. Goodreads really needs to add a reread option!!Jennifer from Beautiful Spineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15811235551123337602noreply@blogger.com
