thank you for validating me I felt guilty when I DNF a book, I feel like it's not what a book reader/lovers do and force myself to read it anyway and end up not enjoying and didn't understand the entire book.
I'm a BIG reader! I usually have 2-3 books going at a time and finish them within a week I honestly can't imagine going one day without reading at least a chapter of my book, but here are a few things I find helpful when I'm in a reading slump and feel like I'm being too easily distracted - having an ebook on phone or tablet, instead of scrolling on social media when you're outside waiting for sometime or someone, pop your book out and read, this way you'll get to the "good" parts faster and you won't want to put it down. Go to sleep reading! Screens are bad for you and we know that so before bed instead of aggravating your eyes with blue lights, put your phone on DND and fall asleep while reading, you'll have such a deep sleep this. And last but not least, have a way to track your books (goodreads is my fav but opinions vary 👀) this will motivate you by giving you goals, give you good suggestions, and you can give your opinion which people love to do (also add your friends and discuss your books together it is so fun) happy reading ❤️
I'm currently in class, but we can't study due to a network outage. As I watch people chatting aimlessly, I started looking for something to read since I forgot to bring The Picture of Dorian Gray (which I started two days ago, by the way). I feel grateful to have come across this newsletter at this moment—I truly understand what you're trying to convey. ❤️✨
These little pieces of advise are truly helpful! I have set a goal of reading 10 pages a day at the start of the year and very rarely skipped reading. I'm still struggling to accept audiobooks - I lose focus while listening. Having a visual memory is a blessing and a curse, lol
Rarely skipping reading is such a flex. I'm also struggling with audiobooks, I'm quite picky with voices (a là "Can I bring myself to listen to this voice for hours?") and I also fall asleep while listening to stuff easily. :')
I love this piece! Reading is important to a writer. A book builds up your imagination. You create what you read and form a vivid voice, image, or symbol. I read a book a month. I need to start my book for this month. Thanks for the reminder. I read Spanish books, French poems, or German art. I like to go back and forth. I give myself two months before I switch to another language. Next month, I switch to Spanish. We need to make time to read. I turn everything off, lower the volume or shutoff the phone, sometimes forget to eat. Once you are in , breathing is the only thing you can do. Of course , you need to eat. Great piece. You always bring wisdom to your work.
This is my sign to put my kindle back in my purse!

sounds amazing! I love that you go back and forth and open your horizon to multicultural art <3 this is how the world should move.
What a great piece on reading. I'm going to share these with my students. I think i might make a hand out with these steps. Great ideas
Thank you so much, what a compliment. what do you teach, Chad?
