The Reading Challenge 2024 is here!
On 2024 I encourage you to read books in different genres. No other rules but the genre. The meaning is to introduce different kind of literature and authors to yourself. But, you can still choose your favorite one if the genre is familiar to you. Notice, you can always drop out the book if you dislike it. It is highly recommended to use second hand books, borrowed books and your local library collection. If possible, read in all the languages you can. Also, don't be afraid of to pick up a book you have already read in the past. The second round at different age may bring you new experiences.
February 2024 theme is SHORT STORY!
Reading a short story is the next step in our journey to different genres; and perhaps having a new hobby of reading. We started getting familiar to both -reading and genres- with poems.
So, what is a short story? Simply to say: it is longer than an poem, shorter than a book. It can be a page or few, or tens of pages. Perhaps more like an essay, the ones you have wrote at your school years at literature classes.
PS. Did you know how to find out if you have a burn out or stress? If you are unable to concentrate on reading, something is wrong. Reading is a good way to reduce stress, increase relaxation and recovery! Poems and short stories help you on your way to better mental health especially then if you are unable to concentrate on longer texts. Just read something empowering instead of miserable and devastating. Love you all!
