![]() I don’t need to read every day if I’d rather make a video or watch a show. Instead, I can think: I have all these great releases to enjoy during the summer! Also instead of binge-reading, I can allow myself more time to reflect and make content about what I am reading. I don’t “need” to read certain books just because everyone’s talking about them at the moment. While being part of the book community is really fun, social media especially can leave you feeling inadequate. Marie says this really well in her post, and it resonated with me a lot. (It can be easy to wonder, why am I not reading that much? Then realize it’s not a competition…) Also, just to remind me of why I read, which is because I enjoy it! I recently read this great post by Drizzle and Hurricane Books, “10 Tips to Overcome Reading & Blogging Fatigue” and it reminded me how important it is not to compare my reading amount to others. ![]() What’s important is that I leave time for myself to read a book just because I want to, and not because I have to. Thinking about it, it makes sense as I was busy with readings for class and other work. Last month, I got my hands on a few of my anticipated releases, but have been feeling down that I haven’t gotten to read them yet. Lately, I’ve been feeling a little overwhelmed with how much I want to read and how little progress I seem to be making. Reflecting on my reading for the next few months… ![]() A few movies I have on my list to watch next are Dead Poet’s Society, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and Howl’s Moving Castle. To be honest, I have spent most of my spare time scrolling on TikTok. I haven’t watched a lot of movies or shows in a while. The biggest criticism I’ve seen is on the racism that was added in the show, which I hope they address in Season 2. At times it felt a little strange, but it also just felt like extra crow content which I could appreciate. I didn’t mind how they mixed the two storylines. Feelings: Malina deserve the world, the crows (including Milo) are all icons, and Matthias and Nina’s parts were my favourite. It’s been quite a few years since I read Shadow & Bone, so my memory was a bit spotty on the details, but I was so excited to see the crows come to life. I watched the show over 2 nights, so I could try and stream with my friend(s). It’s definitely interesting to see how much Facebook has evolved from Zuckerberg’s initial ideas along with social media as a whole. This was the perfect time for me to watch it as I just finished my Publishing course where we explored social media and advertising. Feelings: Overall, I didn’t really care much for the movie, but I also was half asleep while watching it (my bad). Season 2 comes out next week, so we’re planning on finishing the rest of the episodes soon!ĭid I watch this mostly for the iconic “Sorry, my Prada’s at the cleaners…” Andrew Garfield line? Maybe… (I blame marauders TikTok). Feeling: inspired by Selena who only learned Spanish when she started her career. So yeah, we’ve been really enjoying it so far. I started watching Selena with my brother who has been singing “Como La Flor” around the house ever since.
