It gives me hope I can catch up and meet my 52 books goal for the year!

Also, have you read any great books lately? 😊

ashley⁷ @akiveinthebox.bsky.social · 10d

I have to pick three because I loved them:

Oxford Soju Club - I went in expecting a fun spy novel but it was truly so much more than that.

A Truce That Is Not Peace - one of my favourite authors, her memoir.

A Mannequin for Christmas - This was just fun, heartwarming, relatable.

It's so hard to do! Good for you for breaking that habit, it's admirable!

I feel lighter and less stressed. I work a lot and sometimes I'm just so tired that I feel like doing nothing at all. But I like this habit better. I hope I can keep it up this month.

Let's motivate each other! Have you read anything great lately?

I am definitely not inspirational, you give me too much credit. Some months I read 0-1 books.. 🤣🙃

I'm really enjoying it. The Android app is out now! I haven't played with it much but it's really great so far. I hope they do really well, I love what they stand for and I love the "concept" if that makes sense.

It's so hard to do but I really felt like my soul needed it. What book are you reading? Good luck with trying to read more.. let's motivate each other!

If you need me outside of office hours, I'll be listening to BTS with my nose in a book.

Non-BTS related:

I've been trying to doom scroll less during my downtime and it has resulted in me reading 7 books in September. I have to keep up this momentum to hit my reading goals for the year. It's felt really good.

I wonder if Jin is watching the Nintendo Direct livestream, too.

(If so, he's going to be so happy.)

It feels though my birthday wishes will be the same for every member of BTS now that we "have" them back.

The world is a better place with BTS.
