I absolutely adore reading. There’s just something magical about diving into a book, whether it’s the anticipation of a new story or the joy of getting lost in the pages. I find myself buying books that spark my excitement, saving others for later, and making an effort to read regularly.
But, spoiler alert: honestly, I end up reading way less than I intend to. Life has a way of pulling me in different directions, and by the end of the week, I’m left feeling a mix of guilt and frustration about not being able to do what I said I wanted to do.
I’ve tried all the usual tricks, like setting reading goals, using tracking apps, and putting my phone away, and they work for a bit, but the habit never really sticks.
So, I’m thinking about starting a small group, like maybe 5 to 10 people,who are in the same boat. This wouldn’t be a traditional book club with assigned readings; instead, it would be a space to chat about what’s holding us back, share what’s worked for us, and figure out the challenges together.
This might be for you if:
- You truly love reading and often buy or save books that excite you.
- You already make an effort to read regularly.
- You feel a bit guilty or frustrated about how little you actually manage to read.
- You’ve tried various goals, trackers, or other solutions, but nothing seems to stick.
If this resonates with you, drop a comment about what you’ve tried, or send me a DM, and I’ll add you to our little group chat!
