Here are my quick reading stats for this year (courtesy of Goodreads): But in lieu of a better reading experience and less noise, I don’t mind. This year was focused on taking it slow so my numbers drastically decreased compared to previous years. I know the journey to practicing mindful reading and using it as a tool to improve my life (instead of otherwise) has not been a straight line but I’d like to think that I’ve improved on this front – even if just for a bit. I’ve gone through points in my life when I was unhealthily using reading to escape my problems and ignore my emotions (a thing my therapist called me out on). One of the things I can always fall back on whenever things get tough – and that, in itself, is a blessing to have. And though I found some other things to spend my time on this year (going for walks, hiking, meeting new people, going to new places), reading has always been my first love. I don’t finish it all the time (especially during the early years of tracking this) but it has been a yearly tradition that always give me comfort and happiness. I was scrolling through my reading challenges and I can’t believe this is the 12th year! It’s been a journey really. It’s been a ~year~! And while it hasn’t been easy trying to carve some time for reading, we still made it folks! I finished my 2022 Reading Challenge!
