my tbh is way too long…

#Lemon8Scrapbook this year I plan to not buy a new book until I read at least 5 of my physical tbr books!! I’ve been accumulating so many books but I never actually make the time to read them. Since I got into audiobooks the thought of sitting down and focusing only on a book feels insane. But I think it’ll be good to focus on a singular thing and wind down a little bit. We get so accustomed to constant stimulation that our minds don’t know how to chill ever. So here’s to hoping I can follow through on my plans :p #Lemon8Diary #booklemon8 #lemon8creator #readersoflemon8

2024/1/27 Edited to

Are you feeling overwhelmed by an ever-growing TBR (To Be Read) pile? Many book lovers face this issue, especially with the convenience of audiobooks taking time away from traditional reading. To tackle this, set specific goals for yourself; for instance, commit to finishing five physical books before purchasing another. This approach not only helps in clearing your reading backlog, but also cultivates a satisfying reading routine. Dedicating focused time to read can enhance your understanding and connection with the material. Consider turning off distractions by creating a cozy reading nook, setting aside designated reading hours, or pairing your reading time with calming activities like enjoying a warm beverage. Gradually, you'll find that you can relish the joys of reading without the pressure of social media notifications or the lure of multitasking. Additionally, engaging with reader communities can motivate you to stick to your reading goals. Platforms like Lemon8 allow you to share your reading journey, seek recommendations, and connect with others who share your passion for books. So, here's to making reading a priority, unwinding without constant stimuli, and nourishing your love for literature!
