It's a slow read, but it's an interesting concept!

Great one. One of the first self help books that… actually helps?
I’d say it’s definitely a challenge to let go of shame, and it’s not a one-and-done process. However, gaining the courage to at least move in that direction is a huge deal for me.
One to perhaps reread in the future.

So I have to read 15 books in just over a month. I bet I won't even finish 5.

Almost finished, very interesting book, but reached the inevitable slump.

This is going to be a slow read but it's a refreshing story so far.

I have been in a 3-month long reading slump. Feelings of guilt for not completing my 2020 reading challenge have been overwhelming me for the past few days. Yet I haven't mustered the energy to pick up a single book.

Then I saw a School of Life video which made me focus more on the quality of the books you read, and I no longer feel guilty.

So I thought I'd share it here: https://youtu.be/qZ3AsDIMm9s

Confession: when I was a teen, all I ever wanted was to find the Nate to my Bronwyn.
Now I spend copious amounts of time reading YA like this instead.

Listening to the audiobook and wondering why I hadn't done this earlier.

*keeps adding romance novels to her To-Read shelf while actively neglecting a small book in a beloved genre for almost a month*

On a massive book slump: I read the first chapter last week and haven't opened the book since. This was supposed to be a quick read!

Feeling ALL the feels right now.

I enjoyed my last read, so it’s time to punish myself by reading something bad.

In the need for some sappy fiction right now.

I found out a few pages in that this is written by the author of Eat Pray Love, and this book has been insufferably long ever since.

Forcing myself to read this, and words cannot describe how much I’m hating every minute of it.

Okay, now this is what you call a good book.

Has this author ever had a real-life conversation with a person? People do not talk like this IRL. So close to DNF-ing.

I'm still attempting to finish this book in this lifetime.

Social isolation can be helpful sometimes.

My first Murakami... wish me luck!
