Many members of this group have reading threads scattered throughout various groups around LibraryThing. I would love to be able to discover what others with similar tastes are reading, so perhaps we could make a list of links to our threads here. If you have a personal blog you would like to share, you could post it here, too.
Here is my 2016 thread, which lives in the Green Dragon group:

http://www.librarything.com/topic/207055 in the Category Challenge is where I keep my Reading Log. It should start being interesting in a few hours.

I'm going to try to keep track for the year at 2016 Books: http://www.librarything.com/topic/207668
Great thought, Sylvia.
Gosh, hole away at home for three days without internet and it takes hours to catch up here.

Nice idea. I just started by 50-Book Challenge thread for 2016, which is here: https://www.librarything.com/topic/210833. This thread includes links to similar threads of mine going back through 2008.

How do we bookmark each other's lists in LibraryThing?
If I actually do a start a reading thread I'll be back to edit this post.
Edited to add:
Okay, I actually did start a reading thread in the 50 book challenge group.
https://www.librarything.com/topic/213095.
And I figured out to star other's reading list topics. . .

Great idea!
I'm also in The Green Dragon for my main journal thread, http://www.librarything.com/topic/207892#5375449, but my challenge threads, where I post my reviews, are linked to it.
Come on by!
>10 SylviaC: me too, I starred all these threads.

>1 SylviaC: wonderful idea. I had no idea how many of you lovely folks had reading journals on LT. Dropped my stars.

Don't forget to post your new 2017 reading threads here. I wouldn't know what to order from the library next year without y'all helping me out.
23MDGentleReader
I haven't even updated my 2016 thread for a months, I think. It'll be a little bit yet before I finish that up and start 2017. It'll still be here in TBSL.

I know our tattered discussions have petered off this year. But this is where my bestest LT friends have been found.
So let's remember to keep up with our whereabouts in other corners.
I've mostly been reading library books non-fiction and contemporary sci-fi/fantasy.
HERE is my 2018 thread.

Thanks for the reminder, Ruth!
Here's my 2018 thread: http://www.librarything.com/topic/279399
I've started the year with a mix of books, including a reprint of a vintage mystery, but one of my last reads in 2017 was Lovey Mary, and I'm quite sure there will be plenty of TBSL books in my reading this year.

I mainly hang in CR: http://www.librarything.com/topic/278067
and the TBR Challenge group: http://www.librarything.com/topic/279747 which is where I'm still generally to be found when I wind up flagging on CR, lmao.

My 2019 reading thread, covering both books and old pulp magazines (from the 1920s and 1930s, mostly), as well as movies watched (the vast majority likely to be from before 1960), can be found here: https://www.librarything.com/topic/301414.

Mine is here:
https://www.librarything.com/topic/301777
I think. I'll check it and edit if necessary. I was adding it to the Green Dragon reading journal wiki.

lesmel and I were the only members of our 2019 reading group, with several of you checking in now and again. That's a little bit too small, so we're considering options for next year. I always post to this group when it's appropriate, but my reading is all over the place. I have a Scifi-fantasy thread going in the Green Dragon.
I'm looking for one unified place for my total count and reflections. I've looked at the 2019 groups and don't recognize most of the members. I'm not intent on making new friends, but keeping up with the ones I've made.
So I'm open to suggestions.

>40 2wonderY: I find I have less and less time for the internet these days. The only groups I check in on here are the Green Dragon for all my reading talk and reporting, and the Cookbookers group for my cooking/food talk. I do check in here to keep up, but not more than now and then because I only read TBSL books now and then, and posting is rather light here.
42fuzzi
>39 MrsLee: For some reason I don't see new posts in TBSL and I forget to check for them.
I've been extra busy in RL, with my Dad visiting (since April) and my time here on LT has suffered.
I'm also worn out with the current political scene. I've found myself dropping out of groups and unfollowing threads due to people constantly commenting about politics. And I'm not the only one who has done that. I don't care what side of the aisle people are on, this is LT, let's just talk books!
I don't want to lose my gentle book-loving friends here...I'm open to suggestions.

You've no doubt seen a meme floating around somewhere that says something like this: "The best friendships are those that can be resumed after a pause, long or short, as if there had never been one." I'm sure that applies to LT buddies as well ... life just gets busy and messy, and we mutually understand!
And yes, I am grateful for book chat groups that stay kind and friendly. I can count on that with the TBSL bunch.

Well, I created a group where I can record all of my reading, not just categories.

Apologies if this is old news, but I've just fallen over "Reading 1900-1950", the blog of Sheffield Hallam University's "Readerships and Literary Cultures 1900-1950 Special Collection". As they put it:
"We collect popular fiction published between 1900 and 1950, and aim to reflect the wide range of literary tastes during the period. This blog is a place for the members of our reading group to share reviews of the books we read with each other and the readers of the blogosphere!
"The collection consists of over 1200 novels, most in early editions, by 229 different authors. It is important to collect and research these novels because these are what the majority of people read. Many are forgotten now, but they were the best-sellers and lending library favourites of their day! These novels therefore have the potential to reveal an enormous amount about readerships, attitudes to reading, and cultural life. They are rarely preserved systematically elsewhere. University libraries have never collected this type of fiction, while public libraries disposed of such books once they fell out of fashion."

>52 Cynfelyn: Thanks for sharing. I agree with the reason for reading these novels. It’s a great insight into what people were thinking.

>52 Cynfelyn: I would love to have a rummage through that collection!
55fuzzi
>52 Cynfelyn: love that site, thanks!

>52 Cynfelyn: Oh, thank you! That's a nice way to spend an afternoon and picking up some reading tips!
