Introduction

Hey guys, welcome back to my vlog! This week, I wanted to share with You my current reading list and some updates on the books I'm currently reading. It's been a bit challenging to find dedicated reading time lately, but I'm trying not to stress about it too much. Reading is my hobby, and I want to enjoy it without adding unnecessary pressure.

Current Reading List

I'm still working my way through two books: "Girls of Paper and Fire" and "On Your Everyday." Despite the difficulties in finding time, I've been making progress, albeit slowly. I'm actually glad that I've been taking my time with "On Your Everyday" because it's a book that's filled with valuable insights and nuggets of wisdom. I find myself highlighting passages and truly absorbing the information. The advice in the book is truly inspiring, and I can't wait to share some of my favorite quotes with you.

On the other HAND, "Girls of Paper and Fire" has had its challenges. While I initially enjoyed the book, there is a specific scene that I've been dreading. It's a very intense and difficult topic, and it's been affecting my overall reading experience. I've been waiting for that scene to happen, and it has caused some anxiety and unease. However, I'm determined to push through and focus on the author's writing style and the world she has created, rather than solely on the disturbing aspects of the story.

The Challenges of Finding Reading Time

Finding time to Read has been especially difficult lately. With my husband's increased work schedule and my children's activities, it feels like there's always something going on. I've been trying to fit in reading late at night, but it's not ideal as I often end up feeling tired and unable to focus. I'm really looking forward to the summer when things will hopefully calm down a bit, and I'll have more free time to enjoy my hobbies and read to my heart's content.

Thoughts on "On Your Everyday"

Now, let's talk about "On Your Everyday." This book has truly been a gem for me. The author's insights and advice are so applicable to everyday life, and I've found myself nodding along and taking notes as I read. One of the things that stands out to me is the emphasis on self-reflection and personal growth. The book encourages readers to take stock of their lives, set goals, and make positive changes. It's a book that motivates and inspires, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a little boost of motivation and encouragement in their daily lives.

Challenges with "Girls of Paper and Fire"

While "Girls of Paper and Fire" started off promising, it has posed some challenges for me. As I Mentioned earlier, there is a particular scene that deals with a sensitive and intense subject matter. It has caused some anxiety and made it difficult for me to fully enjoy the book. Despite this, I'm determined to finish it and appreciate the author's writing style and her Vivid descriptions of the world she has created. I believe that pushing through discomfort as a reader can often lead to powerful and transformative experiences.
