I think I may be done with 75 Booked for now, even though I didn't finish my full 75 days.

The pressure to read every day, or else start over from the beginning, became really frustrating. Because some days? I just don't have the time or energy to read for a variety of reasons. But starting over, especially once I was past 20 days in a row, felt like it would be such a failure. (Yay perfectionist brain!)

I DO appreciate that doing 75 Booked has made me get back into reading most every day and I'm hoping to carry that forward, but in a slightly less pressured way.

I'm currently trying out doing a weekly reading post, adding that I've read as the week progresses, and if I miss a day, it's not the end of the world. I'll still use some of the formatting I used with 75 Booked, because I do think knowing how much I read and if it was borrowed or from my TBR is helpful, but I'm ditching the pressure aspect.

I'm not reading as much during this round of pet-sitting as I was expecting to. 😬
