I am someone who, I can imagine as many of you here, enjoy the pleasures of reading. But I am, and again, i imagine as many of you as well, easily distracted by a particular thing. My phone. You see, the times i read without it near me or the knoledge of it existing in my near space, I find myself easily trapped inside the stories and enjoy the book much better. When I'm reading and my phone is in the couch or by my night table, I often glance at it when it buzz, to check the time, to ask uncle google a random question I just happen to remember being curious about- and so on and on it goes. This is why im staring to implement no phones around when reading. This can be hard, and sometimes impossible, since we are also busy people. I have to use the translator sometimes since i like reading in english but im latina. Mothers need ro check up on their kids, working people are busy replying emails and phone calls. But I try, because even if I put it on silent, i still think about it. Any other ideas?

I’m enjoying looking at the book feeds & my brain immediately honed in on how many people have marked each title as finished. So I, of course, had to see which book I’ve read had the least other people mark it as finished. Mine was Dulce Sloan’s memoir, Hello Friends; which I read for book club at work. Only 6 people have marked it as finished (& one of them read it for that same book club). EDIT: I went back further & found one only 3 people had logged but I’m not sure I should count it since it was for work haha. (It’s Mickey Mouse in Death Valley)

So what’s yours?
