I was surprised (and pleased!) to see this posted on Goodreads recently -- apparently I was the 10th most Followed person in Ireland on the Goodreads site in 2023!!

I use Goodreads to log a score for every book that I read, and the list goes back to when I first started rating books when I was a teenager, so it covers pretty much all my reading life, except for the first several years! Although I mention it occasionally in my social media posts, I never make a big thing of it, or promote it as much as I should, so it's nice that people seem to be finding it by themselves and following me of their own volition!

If you'd like to see what marks I give, and which books I've read over the decades, click here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/4643841-darren-shan

And hey, if you'd like to Follow me while you're there, that would be doubly sweet, and might help me move up a few places on the list next year!!! :-)
