Feb. 27th, 2019

I currently don't have any backlog of book thoughts to post for the first time in, uh, a very long time. I'm used to my problem being TOO MANY BOOK POSTS, not too few, and it feels super weird!

I have read only two books all February because I just have not felt at all motivated to read. I have five different new library books out and can't make myself read past the first few pages of any of them. I dug out a familiar and well-loved book and got maybe 20 pages in and was like....eh. I tried pulling out a book I read only once many years ago and loved, to reread, and couldn't even get myself to crack it open. I dunno. Sometimes I just go through periods like this, where reading Actual Published Books just feels hard and I don't know why.

I LOVE READING. DEAR BRAIN: PLEASE LET ME READ AGAIN.

(Looking back at my stats from previous years, it's not uncommon for January or February (or both) to be lower reading months, so maybe it's part of the natural cycle for me and winter just sucks or something. But I still don't have to like it.)
