    It's like you have been in my brain, took a look, and can explain to me what is happening!
    I love books😍
    Going in to a bookstore and touch them, read the back, take a peek inside is so... comforting?
    And now I know why.

    I have both ADHD and dyslexia, so I can totally relate. I have a really hard time just reading with my eyes. I rely on audiobooks so much either by themselves or following along with the physical.
    I've developed a few stratagies to help me finish books. I always have 3-10 current reads going. I allow myself to read multiple books at a time because my interest will fluctuate. So for example, I'm reading Book A. But after 100 pages, I get bored with it. I pick up Book B. When I get bored with that, I go to Book C. When I get bored again, I will cycle back to Book A, then Book C again. I give myself the freedom to read multiple books at a time so I don't have to completely DNF a book if I get bored.
    If I'm bored of a book or it's just not the right time or whatever, but I still want to finish, I'll put the book back on my TBR list, but give it a "paused" tag on StoryGraph. This may not work for everyone, but it helps me finish books more often.

      That actually makes so much sense! I always feel bad trying to read more than two books at once because there have been times where I’ve completely forgotten about a book trying to do that. But truth be told if that happens I probably wasn’t that interested to begin with.

      @@LauraRenTaler that's why I always try to keep my Storygraph updated with what books I'm currently reading. So I look at it every once in a while to see if I'm forgetting anything. If I am forgetting one, I can decide whether to pick it back up, pause it, or DNF it

      I’m so bad at keeping StoryGraph updated, but this definitely my sign to start 😅
