I picked up a book from my library today that I got through the inter-library loan service. I was going to ask the librarian some questions but I was in a little bit of a rush and honestly was nervous. 😅 So I'm asking for help from Canadian librarians here, please! What are the views on inter-library loans? Are they a pain in the butt? Do they cost the library anything or is this a Canada wide free library service? I feel like I'm being a nuisance by requesting them and I was just curious about an actual librarian's stance on them. 🙏🏼

Please help I’m in a reading slump and need some recommendations!!

I’m Bored Ughhhhhhhhhhhh

what’s happening here

:| i’m. why would you go on a long drive w a stranger

Ok so fun question that has actually been on my mind for some time. Can you eat while reading or no? I definitely can’t, it constantly makes me pause my book to take a bite or something, and if it’s food eaten with hands, then my food stained hands on the pages?! 😵‍💫 just no. It’s terrible, I always eat before I read, unless it’s snacks. I can do those, but not chips unless it’s with chopsticks.

I am going through a pretty rough time right now, I am always going through something rough but this time with tears. So naturally I haven't been reading much and also finding it very difficult to read in the digital format. I turned to my most trusted format of entertainment which in the past has helped keep my brain off of difficult patches of life, that is kpop. The problem is, after consuming the k content for a stretch, or spending a long time on the television, my brain kind of gets numb? Or dumb? Something like that. It never really happens with reading. I end up feeling more terrible after spending hours on television and computer and just consuming all that k content. It feels suffocating. I am not sure why I am even writing this. Reading is taking a lot of effort these days and I am not really enjoying it. It feels like a chore. I want to read more fantasy but everything is just exhausting. Sometimes I feel as if I like the idea of being a reader and do not like actually reading. This makes me feel terrible and like a performative person. Sometimes out of nowhere I would get excited to read but when actually with a book, I would just try to escape reading. What the hell.
