Books!

Hi Friends!

Guess what?!!! I am officially in my reading era! I am so excited. I love reading, but I never take it as seriously as I should. I always start but never finish. I always sign up for the Goodreads reading challenge for the year and never get far. This year I am sticking to it. Reading is fun, and instead of watching a show and feeling like my brain is rotting, I need to just pick up a book and enjoy it. My problem with reading that I have encountered is that I want to read books that are fun and that helps me grow as a person. The fun books I can read in one day and keep going. Whereas books that will help me grow as a person, no matter how interesting I find the book, I lack the motivation to pick it up and read it. When I do pick it up and read it, I'm fine, but getting myself to read it is a problem. I wonder if anyone can relate. So I would make rules for myself. I read one book for fun and then the next book to help me grow, but because I lack the motivation to read the self-improvement book, I never continue reading. So, I am no longer making rules for myself; if I feel like reading, I will just read what I feel like reading that day. Yesterday I read 'Ugly Love' by Colleen Hover in one day. It excited me to read again, so I will keep myself accountable this year, and I hope you do too.
