How I became a ONE book kinda girl! 📚

Hey, hi and hello! 👋 Welcome to my blog, today I’ve got a quick chatty post in store for you. One about a reading habit that I broke through, let me start from the beginning. So over on my Bookstagram account I’ve made it no secret that in the past I’ve read a load of books at the same time. But this isn’t something I take pride in because I’d often forget what was happening in more than one of them and it would take me forever to finish reading any of them as I struggled to juggle more than one. I kept going this way and soon fell into a slump whereupon I found it difficult to pick up any book at all. It was a sad, sad time 🥺🤣.

Well recently I started reading one book in a go (even if I’ve previously started others I am just setting them aside and picking one to go with until I work my way around to all of them). Something just clicked and it just became a thing where I didn’t carry down a pile of books with me everyday. I dedicated myself to one book alone and the secret? Well there’s no secret to it, I just zeroed in on one book and took it everywhere with me. This is the reason why I’ve finally started finishing books again and I know it sounds simple but to someone that was stuck on this big habit of committing myself to so many books at once, it’s a big deal and I’m super happy to have found my way forward with reading again as I was upset with the slump and didn’t want to fall into a longlasting one again 🙌.

There are A LOT of books on my physical TBR that are readily available to me right now thanks to sharing my family’s library cards (I know, I’ve got it bad 🤣) so I’m working my way through them as well as books I bought myself. I’m due a trip to the library soon when I finish a few more books as my mum needs something to read so I’m looking forward to that!!

On another subject, it may look like I’ve abandoned my Bookstagram page…..cause I kinda did but I’ve just been busy (I’ll chat more about that in a coffee post soon! ☕) but I plan on coming back as the reading is still going on as you can now see! So yeah! I’m now a one book kinda girl and it feels great! 😆 I’m enjoying what I’m reading and I’m looking forward to sharing that same joy with you guys over on my Bookstagram again! Whoop whoop! 🥳

I’d love to know your reading habits and whether or not you read one book at a time like I do now or if you have a few on the go at once? Let me know in the comments below 💌. I used to ask people “what are your ways” when they told me they read one book at a time and they’d explain to me in layman’s terms that they just did it and now I get it, finally! 😅🤣

Anyway! Thanks for the chat 😊 I’ll be back again next week but floating around the blogosphere until then reading whatever posts take my fancy 🫶. Until then, take care and I’m sending good vibes your way! Buh-bye ✨️💗xx
