Ahh, I used to read on the bus from school and then - if the book was good enough - read all the way home from the bus stop.

In 2018, right before I found myself with unmatched fannish creativity (because I found Guardian) and also a bunch of emotionally draining things happened I blacked out a reading bingo board over the summer. I had a 100 book reading target and easily hit it. I read through a combination of ereader and audiobooks.

The past couple of years I've almost exclusively read audiobooks. It gives me a chance to read while out walking or doing chores, when I have something to keep my body busy. I can't seem to focus on just reading, hence the lack of ereader reading. It's frustrating. I want to read more but also I just...can't seem to read. I'm hoping it's pandemic exhaustion and will pass when life opens up past staying home and avoiding people because there's no other choice. (I do like staying home on purpose.) The first six months of the pandemic I read nothing, so managing audio book and the odd fic is an improvement over that.
