Perfect weather 🌈⛈️ some rose scented candle and your books 💫

📚💙🤗

Remember to let go sometimes. All your stress and worries can be dealt with later, but right now is the time for your mind to rest and mend itself. You are wonderful and worth it no matter what you think right now. You can do it, but right now it is time to let everything float away for a moment.🪶

I'll definitely read more than 36 books this year, but I'm ending this challenge. Actually, I'm done with all "number challenges". Maybe they work for some people, but to me they just make pressure, turn everything into the chore and take away all the joy and beauty of reading/watching/listening and really enjoying it.
And this goes for many things - everything became just a number and I realized people read a lot of crap just to fulfill the "task" and I don't even know why I am doing this in the first place. I'd rather enjoy one book per month and embrace slow and easy approach to reading/life. That's also a good way to be more mindful, attentive and to pick books/movies more carefully, not just to consume everything that's served for me.
There is hyperproduction everywhere and we are swamped with all kinds of books, movies, series, music and every other kind of content. The problem is - there is so little quality in all that, it's more about quantity. I choose to be more aware of my choices and to embrace JOMO.
So, no more "counting" for me. 😉 Good luck with your challenges, guys. 🍀🧡

1/30 : notes from underground

Done! Last 3 books of the challenge. "Educated" supposed to be a memoir by a girl who grew up in the survivalist Mormon family, didn't go to school at all, then she homeschooled herself, went to the college and got a PhD. Well, I expected a true story, but the plot is full of gaps, illogicalities and inconsistencies. There are two possibilities : 1. she is a bad writer or 2. the story isn't so true. Either way, I couldn't believe it and I didn't like it.
The other two books are good. Especially "Guns, germs and steel" - huge recommendation!

Finish reading the 6th book of this month. I an really happy!
