Clwojick What app it that? I‘ve seen a handful of Litten use it. 5y

SleepyDragon @Clwojick Not sure if you mean pic collage or Bookly, but I used the former to make the collage and the latter to generate the info graphics for each book. 5y

Clwojick Bookly! Thanks ❤️ 5y

Americanah | Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Well, I shot myself in the foot. A while back I decided to try to read only one book at a time, and it works for me. Then this month happened. First there's my challenge to myself to read the Beatles Anthology. Then I started reading Puritan because it's easy to set aside, and I wanted to start reading the Twain book for my #LentRead. Then my Overdrive hold for the tagged book came in today. I don't think I've read 4 at once since college. Yikes!

SharonAlger What‘s the app you‘re using? I‘m interested in getting something like that. 5y

SleepyDragon @SharonAlger This one is called Reading Planner. It's very simplistic and doesn't give any stats. It's one of three that I use, not including Goodreads. I like it mainly because I can enter a read by date and it will tell me how many pages I have to read each day to finish on time. 5y

SleepyDragon @SharonAlger Also, I have an android, so I'm not sure it is available for iphone or not. 5y

SharonAlger @NeesyBeth thanks so much 😊 I have an Apple, but I‘ll have a look 5y

SharonAlger @NeesyBeth it looks like it‘s not available for Apple, but I found a reading tracker I‘m happy with called ‘Book Breeze‘. It doesn‘t have the option of setting a read-by goal date, but it does time your reading sessions and lets you track the page you‘re up to. I‘ve found it useful. Thanks so much for the idea! 5y

SleepyDragon @SharonAlger The other two apps I use do that as well. I use ReadTracker which also tracks your reading time and estimates how long it take you to finish the book at your current pace. I also use Bookly for the fun graphic and reading speed stats, but refuse to pay for the pro version. So I delete the books from it after I read it, whereas I keep an archive with the other two apps. I think I make tracking more complicated than it needs to be. Lol 5y

SharonAlger @NeesyBeth now I must check out Bookly, haha! 5y

SleepyDragon And I also use Goodreads as my master list. Please excuse the typos. Android users can't edit comments. 5y

The Bible According to Mark Twain | Mark Twain, Howard G. Baetzhold, Joseph B. Mccullough

Today is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. Instead of giving up something, I decided to read the tagged book. I tend to do this, choose something to do rather than do without, when Ash Wednesday falls on my birthday. I guess maybe I feel giving up my birthday for fasting and abstinence is enough. Lol So, my Papa Frank bookmark and I are ready to dive in and explore Twain's take on the Bible and Christianity. #LentRead #Catholic
