    It was not apparent to me that I could go to reread a part of the book instead of the whole thing again. No idea why I never considered this. Thanks for suggesting this. That's a great way to scratch an itch for something familiar, but not having to commit to a whole reread.

    I read a lot when I was younger and then almost stopped in high school. Got back in listeing to the Harry potter audiobooks and reading manga and comics. Which is good cause in those years I bought books as if I read them as fast as I used to... Sarah J. Maas among those bought and yet not read 😅 High on my to read list though 😊

    I have what is maybe a bit of a weird strategy, but it works for me for when I am in such a deep slump where not even my favourite genre and books I would usually love make me want to read: I actually force myself to read a (short) book I am not that interested in, is not usually my kind of genre or has been collecting dust on my shelves for ages. Sometimes, even if rarely, I actually end up liking them. But afterwards I am always so excited to read my favourite genre again😂

    @shellykp33 Před 3 lety

    Yes! Do not waste time reading books you don't enjoy!! It took me years to feel okay with DNF'ing a book but there are just too many wonderful books out there that I will never have time to read. Why spend time on one I don't like!? Great advice.

    If I may make a video suggestion: How can one find time to read when one has multiple hobbies? So like I love watching movies, playing games, as well as reading and sometimes I feel I can never get to enjoy all. Do you set aside a specific time each week of when to read? Or how many pages per day to read? Or any other tips on how to fit reading into your schedule?

    Good suggestions. However, do you have any suggestions to find out if certain books have dark tones or contain certain triggers without spoiling it?

    • @Ezeekat
      @Ezeekat  Před 4 lety

      That's a great question. The best I can say is to google it. I've asked on my tiktok channel if people thought books should have trigger warnings and I've gotten some interesting discussion out of it.
