Why slow reading has been my goal for the last two years

Since teenhood, I’ve steadily read books. Never so much that it was a personality trait (minus my Lord of the Rings obsession IYKYK) but enough that I swap books with friends and can talk about them. It was in 2021 and the gift of my e-reader - big up Kobo girlies - that my reading went into overdrive (literally too, as Kobo’s have Overdrive built in and I borrowed SO MANY library books it almost makes me feel smug, almost). I went from reading 8 books in 2020 to 48 in 2021, then 80 odd in 2022 and well over 100 in 2023.
