The pandemic really hasn't affected my reading at all, except that I read more of my own books before the library opened for curbside pickup.<br /><br />Reader guilt is an interesting topic, too, and I get how it can be a result of your job. So many books come out every year, how can you possibly keep up? I'm glad you try. The "librarian" at my daughter's elementary school isn't certified beyond a BA in an unrelated field. She shows videos to the kids every period instead of doing book talks or teaching at all. She's really not a reader and was just kind of thrown into the job, which is sad. The kids deserve a real booklover to guide them in their reading. Your students are lucky to have you.<br /><br />Happy TTT!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344704891037668456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616693092987998071.post-58059515269225360892020-07-28T12:32:07.973-04:002020-07-28T12:32:07.973-04:00This was such a great post!

Once I started going back into work (even on a limited basis) I did find reading got easier again. From your list #7 and #10 are my top methods, along with not over committing on arc reading - that seems to totally kill my spirit some days. I guess it's similar to your guilt over not reading for work. I have a commitment but my mind isn't feeling that genre or that particular piece of work *at that time*. I'd rather it be a dud book I can DNF than a book that just isn't sparking my interest because of my mood.<br /><br />Re-reads have become a thing for me during covid-19. I haven't re-read a book in years but since February I've re-read a good dozen or more. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing - so many things you have mentioned really resonate with me. Audiobooks are where we differ but most of the ones I'd listen to are narrated by US voices which my British ear just finds too jarring. I wish I could get into them though. Maybe one day!Louise Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13860243771854577774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616693092987998071.post-18323130606717083262020-07-28T09:50:40.289-04:002020-07-28T09:50:40.289-04:00Such sage advice.
