dear reader friends: I've been using Italic Type to track my reading BUT I just got an email that they might be shutting down.
I might switch to Story Graph but wanted to ask for recommendations for book tracking sites that you recommend that are not Good Reads.
Thanks!

the Scorsese GQ piece really is so moving . his thoughts on aging, pairing down, and accepting not fitting in are very inspiring to me.

yesterday I returned to my Hitchcock chronological viewing project with Murder! it was alright, like most of the early Hitches that I've seen, it's kind of dull with moments a beauty and brilliance. trying not to view the next 5 Hitch's as obligations, but I'm ready to arrive at The 39 Steps
