9/13: do you ever read out of your comfort zone? and if yes, does it work for you?

All the time. I like trying new things. All the different book clubs have been a part of over the years have certainly helped me branch out into different genres and authors.

Sure there are some duds but overall....reading out of my comfort zone really has worked for me. I wouldn't have found books like Historical Romances without branching out. That is one of my biggest loves! 

 

Tell Me Something Tuesday: Pandemic Reading

  

How has your reading changed since the pandemic started?

It really has changed since Feb/March. 

I feel like my reading desire has been like a rollercoaster. One moment I am ripping through books like there is no tomorrow. Next moment...I realize it has been days since I read or listened to anything. My reading has been so inconsistent the last year for sure. Hopefully this year it is better especially now FH (future hubbie) started going to back to his office last week and I'm still remote so I can increase my audio time and even my reading time :) We shall see. I am curious to see how planning the wedding will impact my reading schedule.

How have your reading habits changed since you started blogging?

I started blogging years and years ago now so it is hard to remember how my habits were before…but I think overall my habits have changed especially in the last couple of years. 

I may not read as much, but I read more constantly. I have a more consistent reading habit. In my youth I would usually read for hours and hours nonstop and get a couple of books done at a time and take a couple days off. Oooo the free time I had! Now, I have to really make time for it. During lunches, breaks, waiting in line, listening to audiobooks, walking, before bed, when I wake up, and random down times throughout the day. 

I also have been more “caught up” with newer books. Since I started blogging I am able to read the newest books because 1) I have an adult job and I can buy whatever I want and 2) Sites like Netgalley exist and I get asked once in a while by publishers/authors. It is fun, but it does take away focus from my TBR list sometimes. 

Overall, I think my habits have changed because of blogging. 

Ooo Mamyia
