Hi everybody,

I need some other perspectives on my ''issue''! Quotation marks cus it's not an actual issue..

I love reading but also gaming, knitting, crocheting, doing puzzles, coloring books, diamond painting, you name it. How do you divide the time between these? Okay knitting etc. is easy with audio books but audio books are not my fave, so I rarely listen to them.

I just got a new game that I love and want to play allll the time but then obvi I can't read and there's so many books that I have to read. Also I've been knitting a beanie for myself for like two years that I would very much like to finish but alas, something else always comes up :D It is a never ending cycle and I always end up feeling like I'm neglecting a hobby.

Edit:// Thank you everybody for the great advice and kind words! 🫶 I do realize (now especially..) that I have way too high standards for myself and am impatient as hell, not everything needs to be done immediately. 😂

📖 ✏️I have been debating buying a Kindle for so long and am not sure if it's worth the purchase.

After hearing SO MUCH about them I have to ask the big questions:

Are Kindles actually worth it? Is it true that you have to buy books once you get one? Is it a waste or do you actually use it? Do you prefer reading an actual book or using a kindle? Is it mostly for travel purposes? Which model is the best? Is it mostly for aesthetic purposes? Is it cost effective because I usually almost always check out from the library?

Honest and genuine reviews please!!!🦫🦫🌻🌻

I'm sharing this because I'm sure others are in this boat as well, for many different reasons.

I know for a lot of us, reading can be an escape and a comfort. And many of us need that during the holidays more than ever. Whether it's because families are not safe spaces, whether you are spending time alone over the holidays and you wish it otherwise, whether you are overwhelmed by the chaotic nature of the season and wish for a temporary escape, I hope you all find comfort in your books and in interacting with others on this platform to share a love of reading. Now more than ever, reading should bring you safety and joy and I hope it does.

I am sitting reading a romance about a time travelling Duke on this Christmas eve and it's bringing me so much joy.

To everyone that views reading as their safe space, I hope your books provide you with warmth and comfort and I hope you know that you are valued, even if holidays are not an easy time for all of us.

Happy holidays!

Gonna keep using the audiobook to go through it faster. The writing is not amazing and Evie is so annoying. I don’t know if that’s me or the writing itself but she seems pretty young and quite childish in the way she talks and the villain sounds paternalistic sometimes. That makes their whole dynamic seems wrong in my eyes. I’m really struggling to get attached to any of them. The author uses the opposite of the « show don’t tell » and that makes the story annoying to read.

You know, I would love to believe in a sexually expressive & motivated society that also prizes critical thinking but this one absolutely ain’t it. Homegirl may have learned how to ride big shifter schlong like a pro but she is denser than a fuckin bag of bricks 🧱

Reading how Viv is explaining how coffee tastes for her makes me a little sad that I don't like it. I tried it in so many different ways and times, but I just don't like hot drinks. It's a weird quirk I have, but hot drinks are just a no go sadly
