Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

I don’t understand how anyone can really keep track of how many books or movies they consume in a year.

I live in spread sheets 😆

Also there's Bookworm.nz, if you want a federated goodreads type site. I track on there as well as the spread sheet.

I generally don't re-read, other than some parenting books I've re-read when the kids got older for a new perspective, but when I re-read I don't write it down again. I'm more tracking which books I've read.

You do seem to love spreadsheets!

I washed out of goodreads. Was thinking about trying again with bookworm but I don't think anything has changed with me so it probably won't stick.

Doesn't help that if you write a book review for local print you can get $20-$100 for it, so writing them for a website can feel like misplaced priorities. But I guess you could just input the book without commenting...

I just use it for tracking what I've read, I haven't written any detailed reviews.
