I really enjoy reading and had slacked towards the end of 2022. I don’t know if I can sustain this but it’s more about enjoying my time with the books. It’s very relaxing.

I really enjoy reading and had slacked towards the end of 2022. I don’t know if I can sustain this but it’s more about enjoying my time with the books. It’s very relaxing.

I have just been so tired at the end of every single day. I've liked the books I've read so far (I had some stinkers last year, so I'm being more selective), but wish I could read more.

I miss being able to read on subway trains.
