The year I stopped reading for fun and for work. I’m a naughty writer. There. I said it. I barely read any books during the year and a half it took me to write the first draft for Something Cheeky.
I’m really happy that I read this about making reading fun again. I could so relate to everything…and I mean everything you wrote about. I’ve been a journaler most of my life, still am, I am also an artist and because I remember things easier visually, doing what you’ve done makes good sense to me!!!
I started my Substack for the sole purpose of writing reviews so I could remember the books I’ve written. I kind of fell out of that though because I made it too formulaic and it wasn’t fun after a while.
But I like the idea of a visual reading journal, maybe I’ll give that a try — with collages to represent the books since I don’t think painting is my thing.

Thank you!!!

I hope you give it a try or find another way to make recording your reading fun
