As I have grown up, I have enjoyed reading more and more. I think I have come to love it because for it is fun, and it exercises your brain. (nerd alert) I felt my love for reading escalate during my last semester of undergrad. I was only taking 2 classes, had independent research, and had my work research. Needless to say, I actually had a lot of free time on my hands 😂.
Some of my favorites!! Wild | Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire | Complications | The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down |
During that last semester, I shared a library card with my roommate (Hi Tay!!!), and found myself using it most that last semester than I did for 2 years prior. After graduation, however, I started my job as a full time scribe. I absolutely loved being a scribe (will write a post about scribing in the future!), but I did feel somewhat mentally exhausted after my 10+ hour work days, and sometimes seeing close to 30 patients. So I did not read as much as I wanted to for about 2 years.
Now, I have started my Master's program, and definitely do not have a ton of time for recreational reading ahha. I do occasionally make myself put down the studying, and pick up a book for fun! I did get some good reading done over my winter break!!
I am not one for new year's resolutions, but more sustainable and achievable goals that do not have to reset when a new year comes. I think I will make reading more a part of my habits now. About one year ago, I found the "Rory Gilmore Book List" on Pinterest, and printed it off. I told myself that I was going to read those books. There is over 300 hundred books listed that Rory read in Gilmore Girls, or it was mentioned that she read them. I am going to start winding down that list. I have already gone through and crossed off books I have read. The list is alphabetical, so it makes it easy to find books!!
I do not have an end goal of reading this many books by this date because my study schedule can be unpredictable, and I like to make attainable goals. All I want is to make myself accountable for reading for fun!! So, you heard it first, her goes the Rory Gilmore Challenge to see what books I can get through!!
Any one else trying to read more?

Hey girl! I just found your blog and I LOVE this post! I am an avid reader and do monthly recaps. I have loved getting into reading this past year for fun and find it so relaxing.
ReplyDeleteFor Christmas I got such a cute poster off Etsy with the Rory Gilmore Book List and have it in my room. I have decided each month to get a few from the library off her list and see if I can cross a few off. Here is the etsy poster: https://www.etsy.com/listing/474631322/gilmore-girls-rory-stars-hollow-book?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=rory+gilmore+reading+list&ref=sr_gallery-1-4&organic_search_click=1
