Another end-of-the-year meme

[orangerful]

It's a classic! The first sentence of the first entry of each month. Let's see how this goes...

January 1 - According to GoodReads, I read 116 books this year.
February 1 - LOLOLOL oh this month was not so good for my reading.
March 2 - Just watched a couple more episodes and now I understand why they dropped the "for the straight guy" from the title.
April 6 - Went for quality over quantity this month. :)
May 5 - Yeah, BOOK. I only finished one BOOK in April.
June 1 - Don't worry, I haven't abandoned you! I've abandoned EVERYONE!!!!
July 9 - You probably didn't notice, but I haven't been online in awhile.
August 2 - Look at these beautiful people!! #SavetheExpanse #WeDidIt I'm so freakin' ready for 2019.
September 1 - Someone FINALLY made a decent looking site for tracking video games you are playing, making a wishlist and pretty much sorting it all like GoodReads, but for games.
October 4 - It was a whirlwind week and Canada was a little bit rainy but we still had fun.
November - Books Read in October
December - Okay, so it's not very many. One book was SUPER HEAVY and while it was a good read it was so depressing at times it was better to set it aside for awhile.

...in retrospect, this meme doesn't work if you are really good at always posting your booklists on the first of the month LOL. Makes for a boring "look back"...

I will find a better meme later...maybe

Side note: Tim has literally been sitting at his computer voice-chatting with the people in his Star Citizen Org for the past 4 hours. Hasn't played the game at all. It is kind of hilarious. He always tries to get me to play this game but I think that he really likes it for the social aspect and I've just never played games that way? I get my online socializing with strangers from you guys! He's a phone chatter too so which I have never been. It just amuses me and I thought I would share.

That is funny. Mine spends lots of time while his ship is flying around, watching podcasts of other people playing.

LOL does he want to join an org with a really chatty librarian in it? They have a bunch of members now and they are from all over the world so someone seems to always be online hahaha.

Good lord, you read WAY more books than I did. (I know it's for last year, but still. 116 books! Yowza!)

I might try this, actually. Curious to see what I was yelling about all year.

I don't do phone chatting much either, except with my dad, because we have this weekly calling ritual, but that's it.

To be fair, last year I was adding a lot of picture books because I came across several that I wanted to keep track of for later.

OMG is it time for year-end memes?!?!? I'M NOT READY!
(LOL)

[orangerful]

ME NEITHER! But I figured this one was easy because it was a "first post of the month" meme so I felt like I could do it. I'm not ready for all the "looking back at 2018" memes.

this meme doesn't work if you are really good at always posting your booklists on the first of the month LOL

A theme did emerge ;)

Speaking of habits, although I have not looked back at my own entries I suspect it would be largely talking about some TV canon since I notice I tend to lead my own posts with fandom musings of some kind.

[orangerful]

LOL, as soon as I started I was like "well, this is kind of lame" but it was too late, I had committed to the post! I opened all those tabs!

You should do yours! I bet it is an interesting collection of all your different fandom interests.
