You want to know something? I love books. I love going to book stores and searching for interesting stories. But I hate reading. I really struggle to devote time to it, even though I've always been a really quick and proficient reader. Whenever I do read, I positively enjoy it and think, "I should do this more often". I'm the same way with tv shows and movies. I think I just hate sitting still.
I'd love to turn myself into more of a reader, so for April, my goal is to read one chapter/section of something every day. If you'd like to join me on my Reading Every Day in April challenge, I made this cute little graphic. I'm going to print it and mark each successful day with a sticker. I'll also be starting a group chat on the 'gram if you'd like to join me there, too!
A few of my strengths that will help me complete this challenge:
1.) I love stickers. I am like a kindergartner. If you reward me with stickers, I'll probably do the thing.
2.) I genuinely want this. While I don't really care that tv is a struggle for me, reading books is something I want in my life. One of my parenting goals for the future is to read Harry Potter with my kids, but I won't be able to do that if I don't figure out how to sit still!
3.) The books on my list are books I actually want to read. I know I will enjoy them once I get started!
Here's my list:
The Inner Temple of Witchcraft by Christopher Penczak - I have already started this one, so I'm going to start here and keep moving through the list!
The Wicked King by Holly Black - This is a sequel to The Cruel Prince, which I've already read and would highly recommend!
It Devours by Jospeh Fink and Jeffrey Cranor - The sequel to Welcome to Nightfall, one of my favorite books of all time. It's incessantly strange and I love it.
Obviously I won't be able to get through all of those in one month, but these are the books I've been hoarding for months that I want to start working through!
Have you read any of these books? What are you currently reading? What are your reading tips? Send them all my way! I'll be checking in through out the month to let you know how it's going.
