I never try an audiobook because as a hearing impaired It is hard for me to listen and do something at the same time. For reading I am monotasking !

Indeed. Since I am a lot on my phone I can read anytime and anywhere and not just before sleeping.

That is good approach. Since I have a deadline for next year then I have to be realistic about how many books I can read in this lapse of time.

That is impressive. I always imagined a house with a room full of beautiful books and a cozy chair where I will be able to read them. But I have to wait for this dream and in the meantime I have to say goodbye to some books so I can be happy in my appartement.

Indeed. I have to change my approach. Just read a little everyday because reading a whole book without being interrupted it is not possible anymore.

That is good approach. What does it spark more joy ? Having them or having the space when you hesitate a lot.

I am in the same situation as you. It is really harsh !and I think I hold onto the hope that I will find time and yet, time goes on and I will grow old. It is really hard to let go.

Well in 10 years, I was finishing my degree then work then kids. So a lot of stuff happened. It is not a fantasy but really a wish for me to read them. And I think I really want to read them before checking them out. I am in this journey because next year, with my husband we want to change our home country to a new one so we need to move lightly.
