I felt this post with my whole soul LOOOL This was me last year! I also feel like there’s always a pressure to do better each year and where does that end? I think it’s good to take a step back every once in a while and remember that although 50+ or however many books a year looks impressive, are you acc taking in what you are reading? Are you missing the small details? Are you actually enjoying? Thinking like that made the whole reading experience nice so much better for me.

Here’s to an enjoyable 2024 reading year instead!

love this change the meaning behind the thought, it made me think of monsters inc🥹, every door leads you to somewhere you’d never expect. Also you are allowed to slump into the sofa and fall into nothingness for a bit, i think we put too much pressure on ourselves to always be productive with our time ? Sometimes just sloth and don’t beat yourself up for it 🫶🏻

I love the snowball effect with the books you’ve read in 2023: one in the first 3 months, then two and then 24 in 6 months 😂😂 made me chuckle haha
