\"Are<\/a>Let’s welcome back LA Bourgeois<\/a> as she shares with us \u201cAre You Overwhelmed By Your Reading List?\u201d Enjoy!<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Me too!<\/strong> Twenty-six paper books (and I don\u2019t even know how many digital ones) still wait for me to crack their covers and discover a new writing technique or another tool for my creativity coaching. More get published each Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Even more sit in the wings, waiting for me to stumble across them in a wander around a bookstore, newsletter, or blog post.<\/p>\n

And these lists don\u2019t count the book piles for research and pleasure, the novels and memoirs and nonfiction texts that make me tingle each time I touch their covers or sift through the library on my e-reader.<\/p>\n

But how can we work enough reading into our days to make a dent in that To Be Read pile?<\/strong> We barely have time to write, let alone read!<\/p>\n

Sound familiar?<\/p>\n

So how can we read more? Or find the time to read at all?!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry! I\u2019ve got your back with some suggestions that will get you rocking that pile of books!<\/p>\n

1) Start and\/or End Your Day with a Book<\/h2>\n

Each morning of the work week, I start my day with tea, toast and ten pages. These ten pages usually delve into the writing craft or contain tools and inspiration to hone my creativity coaching skills.<\/p>\n

With an average length of 200 pages, one craft book gets finished each month.<\/strong> This small bit of reading delivers an energetic boost to start my day.<\/p>\n

As well, I end the day with some fun reading in bed. This could be fiction, a memoir, or an entertaining non-fiction book.<\/p>\n

Reading these sorts of texts relaxes my body and mind. It\u2019s also been proven to improve the quality of sleep we experience<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However,<\/strong> if you do your reading before bed on an e-reader or cellphone, make sure that your blue light filter is on as people who are exposed to blue light tend to have more sleep interruptions.<\/p>\n

Though speaking of sleep interruptions, I have to admit that is where I do the majority of my fiction reading.<\/p>\n

When I wake during the night (which is more often than I\u2019d like to admit), I pop open my e-reading app and dive into the latest novel until my eyes close again.<\/p>\n

2) Read in the Cracks<\/h2>\n

Reading in the cracks means finding those little pauses in your time throughout your day. That moment when you\u2019re waiting in line at the grocery store, pharmacy, or post office.<\/p>\n

I used to haul a paperback around in my purse<\/strong>, but now my cellphone delivers books to my fingertips. Anytime a spare moment pops up, words get consumed by my hungry mind.<\/p>\n

Plus, this practice alleviates impatience and delivers a more pleasant experience when you finally reach the front of the line.<\/p>\n

3) Read Audiobooks<\/h2>\n

Who says that words have to be read with your eyes?<\/p>\n

I bet any blind reader would fight you on that point.<\/strong> Audiobooks can accompany you in the car, on a walk, as you do your chores.<\/p>\n

I had a neighbor who read the \u201cLord of the Rings\u201d trilogy while mowing. Another friend knits and listens to audiobooks while her husband watches sports.<\/p>\n

Right now, Steven Rowley\u2019s \u201cThe Guncle\u201d joins Mack the Dog and me for our daily walks.<\/p>\n

Audiobooks deliver knowledge and entertainment wherever you go<\/strong>. Give them a try!<\/p>\n

4) Find Encouragement from a Reading Group<\/h2>\n

When I say \u201creading group,\u201d I don\u2019t necessarily mean a book club. Though that can be fun, too!<\/p>\n

Reading groups are groups of people who like to read<\/strong>. And when I start hanging around people who like to read, I find that their enthusiasm seeps into me, influencing me to read more so I can share like they do.<\/p>\n

For example, I love Litsy, an app built around readers and sharing books. You can also find groups of readers on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and other social media spaces.<\/p>\n

Make friends with other readers!<\/strong> Though this can also cause your TBR to grow. Whoopsie!<\/p>\n

5) Enjoy A Reading Retreat<\/h2>\n

In my perfect world, a reading retreat would be a place where all of my needs are supported while I read in a little cranny, curled around a cup of warm tea.<\/p>\n

Making progress through a stack of books over a weekend<\/strong>, reading cozy mysteries, ingesting a difficult piece of queer history, delving into a luxurious bit of comic writing.<\/p>\n

All while someone else makes my meals, tops up the hot water in the tea kettle, and suggests breaks from reading with easy walks to the local bookshop.<\/p>\n

You can create your own reading retreat by rejecting all invitations for a weekend and devoting yourself to reading.<\/p>\n

Make sure to schedule breaks every couple of hours to relieve your eyes and move your body. But other than that, you\u2019re set to go.<\/p>\n

However,<\/strong> if you\u2019re already struggling to find time to read, then doing an \u201cat-home\u201d reading retreat might be too much. If so, consider taking a mini-break at a hotel or joining me at my Reading Retreat weekend this autumn in upstate New York.<\/a><\/p>\n

Those are my suggestions, but I bet you have tons more ideas! How do you shoehorn reading into your day? Let us know in the comments!<\/p>\n

Happy Reading!<\/strong><\/p>\n
