Mara's Log of Unscheduled Learning

Children’s novel club nomination when???

I wasn’t sure if I wanted to nominate it and wait to read it with the club, or just read it by myself quickly so I can have a new children’s novel to recommend to learners :thinking: It might be fun to read with the club though!

I don’t know why I never thought about this despite seeing tsundoku in this and other fine study logs here, but I think I just set my new high score. That’s good, right? (Never played before). :skull:

Depends on what you’re counting? :joy:

I give myself tsundoku points to reward myself for finishing books, and I “spend” those points to acquire new tsundoku! In theory this keeps me reducing my actual tsundoku pile, while still allowing me to purchase new books. :blush:

So yeah, new high score is good! But if you meant that your tsundoku pile is bigger than ever before … I mean, that’s good in its own way too. :innocent:

P.S. if you want to play along, there’s a set of rules in my OP! feel free to modify them to suit your own needs.

Book … Club! Book … Club! Book … Club!!!

(Did that successfully convey me chanting and pumping my fist in the air?) xDDDD

Mostly that, but I still have I think over 8000 coins on bookwalker (had to use up more this month but now I’m good until November) so I’m just keeping an eye out for sales and working on finishing collections of series I intend to read. But I do have an internal goal that I will read all of the ones I buy eventually, so I think I’ll be good. :crossed_fingers:

August 4, Tuesday

Nothing to see here.

I really have nothing much to report at the moment, I just wanted to award myself tsundoku points.

My family were visiting for a few days, and they have just left now, so I’ve earned more than just tsundoku points. (We don’t have the best relationship.) I’ll be taking my family points in the form of a day off work tomorrow. I just have to get through the rest of today and then it’s mini-vacation / catching up on chores!

More soon.
