And Finally Me? What Am I Reading?
Well this is awkward. For someone who is writing a blog about books and reading, I am actually not reading any books right now. If you know me this is actually surprising because I am always juggling at least two books, even during the peak of school when I am the busiest. I am currently in a big reading slump. As much as I want to talk about how rough this reading slump is and why I’m in one, my blog that will be posted later this week is about this idea. Every avid reader goes through these moments. Unfortunately mine is during a pretty poor time when I am expected to talk about all the books I’m reading.
But this is why having a reading community is important. Learning about the books my friends are reading is sparking my interest and making me excited to open my kindle. Plus, a lot of these books I would never pick up on my own. Hearing about the book and how much they like it is allowing me to keep an open mind about different books. This is especially important during a slump. Plus it allows me to stay consistent. When I am on, I feel more motivated to open a book when my friends are because I don’t want to fall behind on my reading. During the summer when we’re at the pool, I don’t want to be the only one without a book open. Motivation. In case you haven’t been able to tell I have major FOMO (fear of missing out) so peer pressure in reading is amazing for me.
