Ask and ye shall receive. "Stop scrolling, put your phone down and read a book." (hope that helps)

Careless People is awesome

Me too. The person buying the books and the person scrolling all day are the same person.

Or even a short story.
Here's one of mine, a P&P variant in which Caroline acts in her own best interests for once.

If you keep some A Lee Martinez books around it becomes easier to dive into the books

That's what I like about ebooks tbh. Reading my Kindle feels similar 😀

You could always read on your phone! Libby is elite. Supporting your local library and ebook! (Or audio!)

But seriously!!! Go read! Some healthy disassociation will be good for you!

I think I picked the wrong book, lol. Halfway thru 1984.

Had a five day power blackout where we live. I finished McCullough's 1776. Great book.

What’s your favorite book? It misses you. Maybe go find and sit with it for a while?

Can it be a two way supportive thing please?
PUT DOWN THE PHONE, PICK UP A BOOK!

I knew I was spending too much time online when I was reading a real book and tried to pinch and zoom a page to make the text bigger.

It was a disturbing experience to say the least.
