I became a boundling. 😂 . . . [Edit: I used to _______ but then I ______. Or, how has PB changed your reading habits?]

Today I treated myself to a fancy schmany coffee maker (a traitor to my user name I know) and have absolutely exceeded my daily recommended caffeine allowance because I’m so excited to play with it. It is currently 9:35PM and I am having another cappuccino!

But this got me thinking - does anyone else have a specific beverage that when they drink it, they can’t help but pick up a book and get reading? And if so, drop a recommendation and your current read!!!

On one hand, I like having a reading goal because it encourages me to read more consistently and gives me a sense of purpose. On the other hand, I find that having a target number subconsciously affects my reading choices. I might feel ambivalent about picking up denser classics, nonfiction, or books longer than 500 pages even though I love chunky books!

I've been trying to be mindful of that and prioritize reading what I truly want to read, but it still annoys me when I fall behind schedule in reaching my yearly reading goals.

I'm curious how you deal with this quality-versus-quantity issue. I miss the days when I had unlimited reading time
