Recently, I decided to catch up reading novels and collecting them. I have this habit that I write my name and date when I start to read it. I have been doing this since I was in primary school. It sounds weird to do it, but that is me. Some readers tend to also write the end date of reading their novels and even write the names of friends who will read them. At present, I am reading Bleachers by John Grisham.
Are you one of us?
Are you reading a novel at this point in time?

I used to do that but not on the book. I would keep a record in my diary with goals for reading and start and finish dates of the books. Now, I am not a voracious reader like early days. I just read at my pace. I have picked up " The book thief" in February and have read only a few pages so far.

I'm sure you'll enjoy The Book Thief. It's a great book.

I read all the time but only wrote my name in books I bought. Of course, I had to stop doing that when I started reading e-books on my phone or Kindle.
Currently I'm reading The Time Travel Megapack 26 Modern and Classic Science Fiction Stories.
Do you read e-books? Did I already give you a link to the site I use?

@Shavkat If we could manage it, I'd send you my library. We don't have room for books in this house. There are plastic totes full of books out in our garage.
Here is the link:
You can sign into their site and download 5 ebooks within 24 hours. Or, you can give them some money and download 10 ebooks within 24 hours. I gave them $10 several years ago and can still download 10 ebooks within 24 hours.
