this inspired me to start reading in public. why dont i avoid doing that? i always felt self conscious and feel like I need to be on my phone or laptop instead lol! ty for sharing your thoughts and i always cheer when i see books I have read on someone else's list (yellowface easily the best read of the year for me!)

ah I love this!!!!! tbh I always feel sexy and mysterious when I'm reading in public. once you start getting the hang of it it, you're gonna feel naked without a book with you at all times haha

Putting the Kindle app on my phone helped me read so much more. I still read a lot of paper books and bring them with me but you can't take them everywhere all the time (ie out for dinner in the evening with a small purse) or sometimes you're not in the mood for that specific book you chose to put in your bag that morning. Now I open the kindle app before any social media if I'm in a cab, waiting room etc.

love this, taking notes!! i already bring a book everywhere, but would love to integrate reading dates with my friends into my schedule + making a more conscious effort to swap our reading for scrolling mindlessly on my phone until the last second before i shut my eyes to sleep <3
