Newer bookish habits
Helloo!
Through the yers of having the same hobbies, sometimes a part of how we do our hobby change. Let’s see few things that I have tried to incorpore within the last years.
➡︎ Starting multiple books
For the longest time, I had only sticked to reading only one book at the time. Mainly because I didn’t wanted to mix the books together in my head.. Within the past year however, it happened that I would start a book in the middle of another one when my mood would change and I didn’t felt like reading that one 😅
For exemple, I’m currently reading See you yesterday, but as the weather started being fresher- and honestly I didn’t feel like picking up a physical book, I decided to start an ebook of Tremblez! Crimes au japon instead. I’ll get back to SYY after i’m done.
➡︎ DNFing more freely
I always had trouble with DNFing books. So far this year i’ve stopped reading 4 books: Three out of them was simply because it wasn’t what I was expecting, and the last one being me hating the 3rd POV storytelling
➡︎ Reading more on my breaks
It depends on what i’m reading; as with paid breaks i’m needed to go back on the floor if needed, it fits better with something light with maybe shorter chapters or even non-fiction short stories, something like that.
What little habits have you taken recently?
I’ve been trying not to buy so many books recently. It’s so hard when they’re making all these pretty editions now. I do need to figure out a habit that will help with writing reviews. Maybe taking notes.
Taking notes can work! I usually start the review before im done the book- either in the notes app or straight in WP drafts.
I loved reading about your new bookish habits! 😊 I really should DNF more freely, but something is always holding me bad. I had to many mediocre reads recently and I could often tell they wouldn’t be good from the beginning 🙈
Yep.. it still takes me a bit – unless it is REALLY bad.
Oooh I too started to read multiple books and DNFing more easily!
That’s good!
