How much I can read as a slow reader :)

2025/1/5 Edited to

... Read moreReading is a delightful journey, regardless of speed. Slow readers often have a deeper connection to the text, allowing them to savor every moment. Whether you're reading a bestselling novel or the latest book release, it's vital to create a cozy environment. Finding the right time, such as while waiting for a haircut, can transform your reading experience into a more enjoyable adventure. Fans of slow reading often engage with various genres, and novels like "Icebreaker: A Maple Hills Novel" by bestselling author Hannah Grace can be a wonderful choice. It’s noteworthy that slow reading fosters comprehension and retention, enhancing your reading pleasure. Embracing the reading process, whether you read 10 pages or 50, brings fulfillment. Remember, the journey through the pages is what truly counts.

how much I read in a week as a busy reader (realistic version). I feel like there's always so much pressure to be flying through books and there isn't space for readers who can't match that. As much as I've love to inhale ALL THE BOOKS, it's not realistic. Some days I crushed 60

Hills I will DIE on as a romance reader ✨🩷
Hills I will die on as a romance reader: – Slow burn is better than instant attraction. – Longing > spice (but both can coexist). – Emotional intimacy is better than explicit scenes alone. – If the characters don’t talk, I’m out. – The second read is sometimes better than the first. #
