Reading Hack

I was in a reading slump for most of 2024.

In September, I popped into the library to pickup something for my child and noticed a book on the “new” shelf from an author I had read before. I thought this was the follow-up but when I got home, I realized it was the third in the series.

So I checked the Toronto Public Library for book two but of course I had to wait a few days for it to arrive. I noticed that the e-book was available and decided to start it while I waited for the physical copy. 

And this is where the magic happened…

I continued to read from both. At home, I read the physical copy and updated the e-book in the Libby App as I went along. Then instead of scrolling social media while stuck waiting somewhere, I continued reading on the app. I just kept going back and forth like this and before I knew it, the book was finished!

I ended up finishing eight books between September 2024 and December 2024. I look forward to seeing how much I read in 2025 using this reading hack and adding audio-books into the mix too!
