February 2023 Wrap-Up
Going to be very honest here: Reading is hard. I'm actually really disappointed in myself to be saying this, but it's a truth I've found increasingly true even if I do read every single day. Whether it's fanfiction, a novel, a magazine, reading has become so hard for me and I don't know why. The only good thing (I suppose it might be considered a good thing), is that I'm not the only one who feels this. But the better thing is that Nanad's regime has really helped.
I've never really found it hard to form a habit. Once I start doing it at the same time each day, it becomes ingrained. It's just that... sometimes I pick the worst times. Life isn't constant, so random occurrences conspire to break my streak. Even so, I've managed to keep to half an hour a day at least, with an extra half an hour on top of that on the 14th and 28th. There have been allowances made and I had to shift 15 mins one day (with Nanad's permission, bless her) but it's worked.
I finished both books on my list for February (Marissa Meyer's Renegades and Joanna Russ' The Female Man. Right now, I'm working on the next book too! Honestly, the biggest issue I foresee is being able to jump straight into the next book. Not something I've been able to do, historically. After finishing Renegades, I took about 5 days off trying to finish a Chinese webnovel I started... at some point last year. Still working at it but I think it'll serve as a good read between reads. Hah.
It's looking good, really. So, onwards! I hope, if you're having reading troubles and are trying to get back into it, that it goes smoothly.
