This is the place where Mitchell and I are supposed to reflect on all the great growth and achievements we experienced over the past year. Yeah, we’re really not those kinds of people. We’re the meme and giffy variety instead so we’re gonna do what we do. After all . . . .
2016 was the year Goodreads decided to turn on the bells and whistles – making a majority of its users collectively lose their shit. While I do agree the “new and improved” feed is filled with fuckery, I still acknowledge this is Goodreads’ sandbox and we’re only allowed to play in it and miraculously managed to adapt without creating 117 new threads on the Feedback Forum each day. Rather than tempting fate, I chose to implement a new policy (that quickly backfired thanks to the useless block function) . . . .
This year I also took a new position within my company which has forced me to cut back on my screwing around on the interwebs time (*boooooo hisssssss*). However, by maintaining a lower friend count filled with people who actually talk to me rather than those who are simply interested in getting the most “likes” I’ve found my GR experience more pleasant than ever before. These people also are well-equipped to tolerate the assholery which makes up me ; )
I got trolled more than ever before, but the addition of the granny sect to the troll population made for some pretty fun times and I only occasionally told people to fuck off (Stepheny did the same, but she told children to fuck off and I told women old enough to be my mother so she is a way worse human than I am).
But enough of that. This is a book site. Time to cut the crap and get to my fave reads . . . .
