thoughts about reading again
Getting back into reading has been one of the best things I have done for myself this year. At the start of the year I told myself it was time to get off my phone and do something more fulfilling during my down time. That gross feeling of infinite scrolling was just killing me.
So I took up reading again and since then have read and/or listened to 20 books this year at the time of this post. Maybe I'll make a separate page listing them out soon.
What I love about reading is there's a book for just about any mood. Need an escape from your stressful job? Pickup a sci-fi or fantasy world to escape in. Feeling down about where you are in life? Start a self-help book that your co-worker raved about. There are plenty of diamonds to find out there.
Amongst a group of friends we have started a book club which meets every month or two. It gives you a set date to get physically together and have a conversation and bond over a common book. Its fun to see everyones' take on a specific character or event in the book.
At the end of the day reading feels like time well spent. No stress./ You actually feel good sitting down with a cup of tea in the evening and reading for an hour. Unlike those garbage phone apps.
Until next time!🙂
