Oh yes, I'm back to the wheel of fate when it comes to reading. I have too many books on my borrowed side of Amazon. Since I just finished reading book 101 for this year. I feel it's time to let fate take a hand at what books I should read out of what I have already stocked up in my Kindle app. There are a few books in a series I want to read so I want to make room for them so I can read them in groups which is a lot more fun than when I have to wait months on end to read them. Back to normal relieves about them unless they are part of a set then you might not see them till there is a group of them done.

Speaking of reading, I started to read a novel book. I need to pick up the interest of doing it.

of course or else you wouldn't have picked it up read it. People don't read because they have to its because something catches there interest its more fun to read when its something your interested in.

@Shavkat Well the only way for you to do that is by trying to pick one up every day even if it is just 5 minutes. I'll read in the bathroom, I also know I can devote 1 hour once a week to reading while my daughter is in her ariel class. Nothing else for me to do in that time so it gives me time to read.

Well, I'm an author so reading comes like a second nature in helping me create my world and what other way do you learn than by reading and doing? So I also spend time supporting other independ authors like myself by reading their books, writing a review, and no I'm not paid for that but I do get paid for when people read my books or I make sales on people buying them.

@jefferson126 Lol It's not an occupation but I can see how someone might see it since I'm almost a stay-at-home parent. I don't need to read. It's a choice just like listening to something is a choice you don't have to but you choice to do so. Authors don't have to read they don't have to read anything of anyone besides their writing if they want to. Anyone can be an author since self-publishing is for free and for me it's a hobby that pays me when I make a small. I choice to read to support other fellow authors who are in the same independ boat as me. Some do need the sale to support there families or support to create the next book. You have to put money in to get things done.

Everyone is different in what they like to read and how much they can read. I'm an author and reading just kind of goes in hand. I read mostly short books which is less than 300 pages I could read one of those in just a week at bedtime. My evening meds take at least 45 minutes to kick in so I read during that time. I also read when my daughter is in her Ariel class. I read when I'm cooking or any other time that is just free. Perk of being a stay-at-home parent and full-time writer I can judge what I want to do for that.
