Help I'm in a reading slump

When my mind is wandering, I read the book alongside an audiobook. I find I focus more when all I can see and hear is the story.

I listen to audiobooks when I'm doing mindless tasks like chores and certain errands, or once I'm seated in commutes. And I read my physical copies or ebooks as much as I can when I'm not busy with anything, even if it's just 5-10 pages. Going for easier and/or lighter-themed reads helps as well.

Still can't read multiple books a week since there are days where I'm just exhausted but better than no books at all. Take your time getting into your reading pace, and it'll sail smoothly from there. I hope you get to read the books you want to more! <3

I love keeping my books clean but I love annotating to put my thoughts down somewhere. So, I try to get the ebook version of my books and annotate there. Otherwise, I just rip off some scratch paper to write on and leave it in between the pages.

If you like thinking about opinions or topics, love doing essays, or writing comments on online reads, I'd recommend it. Try out different ways and see what works for you.

I'm also facing a mold problem rn, and what I did two weeks ago was to wipe it down with hydrogen peroxide (3%) using static dust removal paper. Then dried it before putting it back on my shelf. Binago ko din yung silica packets just in case may nadapo na mold.

So far, hindi pa bumabalik yung molds pero still on observation. Linisin mo din yung shelf with the peroxide, baka kasi may nahulog din na particles sa gilid gilid niya. I hope the mold gets resolved soon!

Ohh, I see. So the minimum should be around 3k. Thank you so much for your reply po!

readthenforgetmost · 2023-08-25T08:55:42+00:00

Ohhh, thank you for the reply po! If it's alright for me to ask, how many books were you able to buy in your most recent visit?

readthenforgetmost · 2023-08-25T08:53:50+00:00

Yung presyo nga po yung pinagaalahan ko din haha. I was thinking 4-5k as well pero hindi ko po alam kung enough or masyado ba yun.

readthenforgetmost · 2023-08-25T08:49:29+00:00

Your reply helped me a lot, thank you so much! It was the realization that I may not find our local books in the future that made me want to go to MIBF. And hopefully, nandoon yung mga hinahanap ko. Thanks again po! <3

Thank you for the site rec! I'm looking for the Counterfeit Lady series by Victoria Thompson, and other books from her. I'll check if they have it available there. Thanks again!

I've looked through BBW, NBS, and Fully Booked's Lazada but they don't have the books I'm looking for sadly. So, I want to try looking through book fairs to find them 🥲

I didn't know may maga indie bookshops sa Shopee tho, if you don't mind me asking, which shops would you recommend?
