Fresh start: I have chosen a new book to read and I am reading again, after another months long reading slump.

I've known this my whole life: when I'm not reading is how I know I'm not ok.

Network Effect by Martha Wells (The Murderbot Diaries #5)

Acerbic. Remnants. Stride. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5

So far, Network Effect is my favourite Murderbot Diaries instalment after All Systems Red. The jump to a novel gave Wells room to dig into the threads the novellas only teased: the alien remnants, some backstory on the corporation rim, and the GrayCris conspiracy that had never been entirely explained. ART also makes a comeback. This time as a full co-star rather than a one-off, and it's sassy and brimming with moxie. Best of all, Murderbot keeps growing into its own thoughts and feelings, and watching its humans react to all of it adds another layer of humour. I did not see 2.0 or 3 coming, which was a lovely treat.

This is probably a really stupid thing to beat yourself up about, but I really hate how much I DON’T read. Especially Fanfiction. There are so many things I would love to read, both published works at Fanfiction, but my brain won’t let me because idk it said so. It doesn’t help that I’m a pretty slow reader, but even with the stuff I am actively reading I’ll just put down for a month or two because I have no motivation to read, no matter if I’m enjoying the story or not.

It’s annoying, since I know reading will help me feel motivated to write. It’s something I need to work on I guess. Anyone have any tips?
