Update on my last post (skim through that if you don’t want to get lost)
I read 6 more books before 2023 ended! After i practically forced myself to start another book, i realized the problem was that I just read really fkin good ones. In my last post, I talked about a trilogy that I read in the beginning of 2023 that basically got me in a reading slump the rest of the year.
Nov. 30, i finally managed to pick up a standalone. Read it in a day. Boom. Another reading slump and my heart was torn to shreds. So a week later (?) I decide to read a book impulsively because ive heard a lot about it and I’ve seen the author’s name floating around online a couple times.
The book was ok…And I just kept reading. 5 books later, and I realized the problem. I just needed a pallet cleanser. And that pallet cleanser was a cheap Wattpad wannabe with a writing style that would make my high school English teacher cry.
I also noticed that buying and reading the physical copy helps since I’d have a “reminder” of the story when i finish it. This way, i wouldn’t really feel like I’m abandoning that part of me when I move on to a new book or story. I’ll definitely regret figuring this out cause now I realize how quickly the costs start to pile up. Since when we’re books so fkin expensive??

Thank you to everyone in my last post. Yes, everyone. I never considered myself an emotional person (even people around me don’t seem to think so), but maybe that’s because I don’t express myself that way. I prefer getting emotionally attached to books instead of people because it’s just better and hurts less (or more, take your pick)
