Bro same I haven’t been able to finish a book in like a year cause I do a lot of readings for classes

For me like picking up a book is sometimes such like a task and I find reading ONNN my phone to be a lot easier and something I want to do right before I go to bed. It doesn’t feel as big of a change since you’re still on your phone instead of having to sit up and open a book, atleast for me. I have the kindle app or you can just read books as free EPub files!

yeah and then when I do get in the mood to find some books all im hit with is books that piss me off cause im a majority romance reader and every rec is somehow some way and inclusion of romanticized rape/sa incest pedoohilia grooming and other forms of abuse and i get really aggravated then I get pissed off cause everyone is describing the abuse as angst and spice and hot and then I get mad and im sent further into a slump 😭

I do this thing where when I feel like OP, I’ll procrastinate studying/homework by picking a book off my shelf I haven’t read and just read a random section and usually I end up wanting to finish reading that book, then I’ll read a whole bunch then I realize I need to study so I study and then I go back to the book I wanted to finish 🤷‍♂️

I was feeling the same way and found a book that I could not put down and that helped! Also audiobooks have been great :)
