reading in September was hard. I was not able to focus much. I was restless and occupied and anxious. And at the same time I felt like Want to drown in a good book. Leave the world outside. Escape to a place with trials and battles knowing in the end the good will prevail. In the end I found a few books I was able to finish and have a book talk September with. But I also have started three times as many. Only to quit after the first page or so. Mainly because those books I really looked forward to reading and just didn’t want them to be bad because of my current state.

Reading this year doesn’t flow as effortlessly as previous years. That has mainly to do with all the things that occupy my mind or need my attention. When I am finally picking up a book my concentration is not on the book at many times after a few pages (if I am lucky) or even a few sentences I take my phone, write godown that thing for the grocery list, google another and fall down the habit hole of Social media. Or I am just too tired to read when I am finally in bed. However I don’t want to complain. I know I am still reading a lot compared to other people. It is just an observation I have in my own reading habit. But I did read and so I can share my Book Talk August.
