    Should I continue?

    I'm on page 94 and I took a break from it and I'm hesitant to keep going... is it that good? I don't feel a spark just yet.

  • Where do you read?

    Very summer, I'm packed with work and other pesky things that keep me away from the cozy reading corner of my house... So I start reading between lunch break on my working place or subway stations. I was wondering where do you prefer to read? Outside, inside, with friends or alone?

  • Struggle with outside noise when reading?

    Does anyone struggle to tune out noises around you when you read? I feel like I get overwhelmed and cannot concentrate what I am reading. Noises include: TV, music on speakers, kids’s Yoto, kids playing, outside conversations and etc. I always ended up having to wear something that cancels out noise (ie. earplugs, headphones and etc). I have tried background music, but even that is too much for me. Also the kicker is, I don’t like the idea of blocking out too much noise because I want to be able to hear the kids if anything happens. Do you struggle with this too? Any advice and tips?

  • Do you prefer reading physical books, e-books, or audiobooks?

    I personally mostly read physical books from my own shelves. I love buying books and arranging them in my apartment; it just gives such a cosy vibe. Sometimes I borrow from the library, but usually I buy them. My e-reader (Tolino) only comes out on trips, when I’m backpacking. I just don’t have space to take a lot of physical books for a one- or two-month trip, so the e-reader is super convenient then. Other than that, it mostly stays at home. I’ve tried audiobooks once, but I tend to zone out and then realise I need to listen to a whole chapter again. I’d love to use them while cleaning or doing chores, but somehow I just can’t focus enough. Does anyone else have the same problem? And for those who mainly read audiobooks or e-books: how did you get used to it, or how do you manage to stay focused? What devices do you use for digital reading? I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences!

    I feel like I’m being teased at the moment, with this pacing 🤣. Like, I can see the start of where this is going but come onnn.
