2022 is nearly upon us, which means it’s the season for new year’s resolutions. Statistically, most people give up on their resolutions. So how do we beat the odds? A great way to stick to a resolution is to track consistency and progress. When it comes to books and reading, there are a lot of options available today. Goodreads is probably the best known one but over the past few years, more options have sprung up.
How to Access More Than One OverDrive Library on a Kobo
For the longest time I had two misconceptions about OverDrive and eReaders:
- I thought it was only possible to sync Kindle devices wirelessly with US libraries’ OverDrive catalogues.
- Somehow, I also thought that only one library catalogue could be linked with a Kobo device at a time.
Boy, was I wrong on both counts, and I’m more than happy to admit it. Now that I know better, and have figured out how to access more than one OverDrive library on a Kobo device, I appreciate my Kobo Forma even more than before.

Shopping isn’t my favourite pastime by far, and as much as I can, I order supplies I need online. Yet, I’ve looked forward to the yearly SG Book Deals warehouse sale since 2015. When they skipped out on last year, I was bummed.
The Value of Read vs. Unread Books
A few years ago, I came across one of Sana’s Goodreads shelves that she had named anti-library. While the term still unsettles me as much today as it did back then, the idea behind it is a poignant one. You see, the anti-library contains books the owner hasn’t read, a point of greater importance to Umberto Eco. For many a reader, this is also known as the TBR (to be read) pile. Interestingly, several bloggers find that the TBR pile has become a source of stress, and some feel liberated without one.
10 Things You Can Do While Listening to Audiobooks
When it comes to reading, I embrace every format. Paperbacks, hardcovers, ebooks and audiobooks each have their time and place. The one format that’s made a the most difference for me though, is audiobooks. Without them, I’d get through significantly fewer titles each year. Why is that? I can listen to audiobooks when I might otherwise not be able to read.
