Usually I'm eager to get going on a new challenge, but I'm struggling. Still trying to clear up the residuum from last year before I can get started, so here I am, already a week behind. Given everything, I've scaled back my category goals to nine books apiece rather than my typical 12. I'm hoping I can finally get started by the beginning of next week.

Just noticed that no one replied to your question. StoryGraph is indeed an alternative to Goodreads. I found it overwhelming to switch at first, but after using the app for a while, I came to prefer it over Goodreads. It's less cluttered and more focused on the things I want a reading tracking app to do: tag books, make lists, show my stats.


StoryGraph does occasionally ask you to sign up for its premium version, but those are the only ads and they are not very intrusive. I find it refreshing compared to Goodreads which seems to be full of advertising.

I just had to let mine go. I had 2 books on the challenge I didn't get to. I migrated one to a new category in my '26 challenge and decided to let the other book go to a better home. If I had not managed to pick it up amidst 83 other books, that told me I really didn't want to read it.

Whew! I (finally) finished two of my hanging books and came to my senses and abandoned the third. Even though I had a lot of hours invested (that pesky sunk cost fallacy) and felt I was getting something from it, it was too much of a slog. Let me repeat: whew!

On to my 2026 challenges. But I think I'll indulge a wee bit first. I can catch up, right? Right?
