Finished my fifth book of the year!
On my lunch break today, I finished reading Boulder by Eva Baltasar. I have been reading 5 books simultaneously and this was the fourth to make it to the finish line.
In the past, I've had this issue with falling asleep every time I would read. In college, waiting between my classes, I would go to the Barnes & Noble in Union Square and read. Well, I tried to read. Maybe 10 pages into each book. K.O. One time I fell asleep reading a manga... My sleep deprivation probably played a big factor.
Due to my snoozing, I gave up on reading. Thinking that I would never be able to finish a book.
On the first day of March this year, I visited a Barnes & Noble to puzzle shop. Walked out with a puzzle and a book. This is where it all started. I was reading again. Admittedly I fell asleep a handful of times. But hey! I didn't give up. Persisted. I finished the book. The satisfaction of completing a task. Amazing. Beautiful. Splendid.
By the end of March I had a library card.
Today I borrowed another book.
Joy and excitement. I heart reading.
Note: I don't read for the sole purpose of finishing books. I do enjoy them. I still fall asleep, but it means more to me that I'm enjoying my time.
