Hello fellow tsundokus. How are you? I hope you are in the pink and I also hope that you are doing just fine with your 2016 reading resolutions.
When it comes to bookish habits, there are various. For me, I am....
1)A slow reader
2)A multitasker
3)A hoarder (tbh, I hoard a lot of books and its becoming a disease. these impulse buys. ergh)
4)A spoiler giver (this rarely happens and i will always spoil people on the same thing. again and again; ALLEGIANT)
These are my bookish habits that I can figure out for the time being.
Being me, the worst thing that I could do is HOARDING BOOKS. It is now becoming a problem for me. I have loads of unread books and worst cast scenario, I BUY MORE!!!!!!!!!!
WAIT, HOLD ON, HOLD BACK YOUR HORSES PEOPLE, let me explain.
I know, I'm wrong. I am absolutely guilty and there's no doubt. My fault that I went through the carousell app and there are just some deals that I cant let go of. I bought like approx. 8 books in the first two months of 2016, all of them are secondhand. I splurged, my bad. I'm sorry that I went overboard. Forgive me, hoomans.
That is why I am going to talk about; Transition
I think that the time has come for me to undergo a bookish transition. Like I REALLY REALLY need to change my habits when it comes to book buying and reading. For real, not just by the saying of the mouth.
Lets talk about book buying first.
To reflect back at what I did, I am quite glad I did splurged (thats bad) and also quite dissapointed in myself. I was so determined back then, to go on a book buying ban and what I did was totally, undeniably going out of the line that I drawed for myself. This needs to stop and I'm scared that this would happen again in the future. But I know that as long as I keep my self control with me and in check, I'll be just fine. Why did I say so? It is because I actually managed to go through a book buying ban earlier last year.Maybe I was a bit carried away this year and that resoluted in me going all splurgy-splurged on books. Even my parents, siblings and friends are telling me to stop because I have wayyyy too many books. Blame carousell and booksales for that will you?
Last but not least; reading habits.
This year, I'm having a MAJOR public exam which is SPM. It is similar to the O-level. The thing is I'm neglecting my studies just to read. I know. BAD BEHAVIOUR. So, I'm trying so hard not to hold onto a book and procrastinate when I am supposed to be doing my homeworks. Actually, earlier in the month of January, I'm very well in control. As the year entered February, I went downhill. I have to change that.
So yeah, I am slowly going through a transition. There are always UPS and DOWNS and I hope that there will be more UPS rather than DOWNS. Wish me luck guys, I hope I'll get to balanced my studies and my passion, reading <3
Thanks for reading :) Love you guys from the bookstores and back!
