Top Ten Tuesday ~ Things getting in the way of my reading
Hello!
We are in early for the May 16th prompt, about what’s getting in our way of reading: What’s taking up your time right now? – lovingly stolenfrom A Cocoon of Books during freebie week. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
1) Work;
Although I wouldn’t qualify my job as hard per say, working in customer service has me exausted sometimes. Especially with entitled customers, that can be hard to deal with- weekends are especially worst-, and ofcourse being low staffed and having way too many things to do at once for a sea of customers. When i’m needed to do 10hrs shifts or even stretch of more than 5days in a row, my head feels like exploding and I can’t concentrate on anything 😅
2) Noise;
The one thing that makes me unable to read in the daytime, or at work, is the presence of noise. The TV being too loud, people chatting, my mother speaking too loud – and constantly, are things that my brain wanna try to focus on – instead of the book i’m trying to read… so it doesn’t quite work 😅 I don’t absorb the words that i’m tryna read, english being particularly difficult for me.
3) Hyrule Warriors Legend 3DS (Trailer)
This is what i’ve been obsessively playing lately – quite an older game, but i’ve been having fun playing the adventure modes. I had bought all the DLCs and many of the things remained unlocked as I had trouble with this gameplay back in the days- so I’ve just been unlocking new weapons & fighters and just overall loving it!
4) The Legend of Zelda; Tears of The Kingdom (Trailer)
The Breath of the Wild sequel that just came out- May 11th. As we speak, I should’ve had received my copy and we just know i’m gonna be binge-playing this obsessively 😅 It had been so bad with BOTW that I had problem falling asleep at night as all I wanted to do was play – which was on Wii U back then I didn’t own a switch, so I couldn’t play in my room.. I had to try to position the manette in a specific position facing the wall and it kept unplugging..
5) …My brain
Last but not least on my list- my brain itself 😆. You know the moment where you know you could do a various list of things.. reading being one of them, but you just- nothing seems to scratch the itch?? You keep trying to figure out what you wanna do or what you should do, that you end up doing absolutely nothing, or something absolutely unproductive? yeah.
What’s keeping you from reading right now?

Hyrule Warriors Legend 3DS 👀 I was obsessed with this game last year and had so much fun unlocking everything! I took a bit of a break from it, but I still have things to clear off 😄
I really wish that I had a switch as everyone is talking about the new Zelda game! I hope you get to play it soon & enjoy it 🥰
I got my copy yesterday!!! This is gonna be all ill be breathing and living for a while 😂
Yes, I get distracted too! Work is always one thing that stops me from reading.
Yes we do spend so much time at work, quite a bummer ! We aren’t all fortunate enough to be able to read while working 😅
Definitely work! And Netflix! And social media! Even though I don’t post much on social media, I am guilty of scrolling my timeline for hours on end when I really should be reading instead.
Oh yes.. I didnt even think of social media! Netflix however.. I’m not a big serie or movie watcher 😅 youtube on the other hand- which is wierd considering I watch much longer stuff on it but 🤷🏽♀️
