Today’s topic is things that make us instantly want to read a book. However, I skipped last week’s prompt so I’m doing a combo of this week and last week’s prompt.

Things getting in the way of reading<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Work – as spring is generally a busy period in the industry I work in. I don’t think this calls for any further explanation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. HBO Max and performing arts theaters – specifically my re-watch of The Big Bang Theory with my husband, we’re both thoroughly obsessed with the show and I love watching this again with him. We’re also really into theater at the moment and have watched several performances in recent months.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. House plants – I somehow found my way onto several Instagram house plant accounts and have since started growing a bit of a collection. This takes a fair amount of time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Socializing and spending time outdoors – I’m a bit of a grinch in the colder months and with the weather somewhat improved, I suddenly want to catch up with all my friends outdoors<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Book shopping – ironic I know, but it seems I’m spending more time book shopping or thinking about the books I’d like to get rather than reading lately. Book collecting and reading seem two entirely different hobbies, who would’ve thought, huh? \ud83d\ude00

    Things that intrigue me about a book<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. book about books, libraries, authors or book writing;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. a book being recommended by several different people or place at the same or near the same time;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. great world building; <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. based on a true story or perspective never seen before; <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. new book by a favorite author. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
