Number Thirty-Four

Read Three Books

(aka let’s get lost tonight, you could be my black Kate Moss tonight)

Here’s the thing. I’m an avid reader.

Well, I use to be.

I use to stay up and finish a book in one day — fully engrossed. I would never reach for my phone to see what was happening on social media — not until I finished.

But something happened a buncha years ago. And then all of a sudden I found myself struggling to finish any book. (I don’t know what that something was…yet). That didn’t stop me from buying a ton of books. But that’s for another day.

I missed being engrossed with a book. I missed the world building in my head. I missed finishing A book.

So I put it on my list.

I wanted to read three and ended up reading 5.

Classic Virgo.

I started with re-reading one of my favorite books Honeymoon with My Brother.

Then read the sequel to Call Me By Your Name: Find Me.
😭 Not what I expected but in a good way.

My Mom suggested I read Team Five in 2020 and who knew facts could be petty?! 😂

To prepare for the Percy Jackson Disney+ series, I decided to reread the first two books. Finishing the second one this morning.

And finally, on one of my flights this year I forgot a book. So I picked up Talking to Strangers. Which is hilarious cause I def did not want to talk to strangers. Nonetheless — fascinating read.

It was a struggle getting over the hump to finish these books. But…I’m glad I did.

I also read a ton of comics — but we don’t need to get super nerdy this early. ❤️
