If you’ve been following along, you’ve probably noticed I share updates when I start and finish reading books. It’s my way of keeping track and letting you see what’s on my reading list (you can also check my now page for the current lineup).

But here’s the thing: announcing that I finished a book isn’t particularly interesting on its own. The finish line matters less than what I found along the way.

So I’m making a small change. When I start a book, I’ll keep doing what I’ve been doing: a quick note to mark the beginning. But when I finish one? I’m committing to share at least a paragraph about it. Something useful. A thought that stuck, a concept worth passing along, or why it mattered (or didn’t).

I’ve actually finished a few books recently and held off posting about them because I wanted to make this commitment first. So the next few posts you see will be those finish notifications, with a bit more substance.

Let’s see if this makes the reading updates a little more useful.
