Welcome to this year's group! I published a book last year, and read only just over half of the number of books I'd read the previous year or two. It's a good reason though :)

Welcome back!!

Welcome back and good luck with both: reading and writing!

Welcome back. Lots of succes with writing and reading.

Welcome back! Do you have a goal?

Thank you, everyone. I finished writing my first novel last week, which is something I never thought I'd actually do. I will edited it after I write a science fiction story I've had bouncing around in my head for 30 years.

As for my goal, since I've been reading a lot more ebooks over the past few years, I'd like to read 25 physical books from my shelves and 25 ebooks and I'll keep track of both here.

>7 Quaisior: Congratulations on writing your first novel! What a great accomplishment!

>8 Cecilturtle: Thank you! I decided to celebrate by starting my next novel. LOL

>7 Quaisior: Congratulations! You've done more than probably 95% of people who start a book, but never finish it.
>9 Quaisior: A glutton for punishment! ;)

>10 Jackie_K: Thank you! I just read about that stat the week I was finishing my book and I was shocked. I usually have trouble feeling proud of myself, but I definitely gave myself a pat on the back for finishing a novel (and it's nearly 100K words too so it isn't short!).

As for reading, I'm obsessed with Jessie Mihalik's books, so I'm going to read all of them this year. I loved her Starlight's Shadow Trilogy. My current WIP is somewhat similar, but I've been planning this story for decades, so it's entirely coincidental.

Hi Q, just popping in to see what you have been up to.
