I'm sitting here grading papers looking at a stack of books I wish I could be reading!!! Take me back to the summer when we hadn't set up our TV yet and my brain was relaxed enough to read all day! I read like 6 long books in July and loved it.• • If you can believe it, I didn't really start reading for fun til like 2013... School had somehow trained me out of reading for leisure. When I was young I would read alllllll the time. Then I just... stopped? I guess? In 2013 I made it my New Years resolution to read 15 minutes per day, and it changed my life! In 2014 I read 52 books! I also credit Goodreads with making me enjoy the reading community and also @taliaissmart for peer-pressuring me into writing reviews of books. Last year I felt burdened by reading again, but this year I allowed myself to buy more books (and I got a kindle and use the library app to get ebooks), and I'm back! I was nervous making my reading goal 30 books bc I didn't want my hobby to feel like a burden. But this year already I've read 28 books!!! That's wild!!! I love books.
