I am reading at least 3 more books per month than I used to. On top of that, I am reading other people's reviews so that I can comment on them. I must read my reviews at least 10 times before I submit them! I enjoy having a list of books to choose from for my next review. This is so much faster than going to the public library. Sometimes I will choose to read a book that I never would have chosen at the library. More often than not, that book ends up being a pleasant read. Let me know about your reading habits.

Absolutely! Becoming a reviewer has altered my reading habits. I've always loved to read and consumed many books, but now I'm delving into books I probably wouldn't have picked up before. Just as you said, I'm often pleasantly surprised. Additionally, I've become more attuned to spotting grammatical mistakes and typos while reading. Previously, I hardly noticed them! Being a reviewer has definitely made me a better reader.

Susan, your comments rang true for me as well...I "have" become more open-minded about the books I choose to read! I didn't think about that until I read your reply. Was there any one book that comes to mind when you think of books you loved that you otherwise may have never read?! I love your signature quote by the way Until next time...

I really loved it, but I used to not pick up non fiction books. It would be incredibly rare for me to do so since they never appealed to me. However, I really enjoyed it so it made me more willing to try new things. Thanks for replying to my comment!

Tomy Chandrafrost wrote: ↑25 Apr 2024, 03:54 Yes, I've become faster at reading because sometimes I'm chasing my monthly target, but I still make sure the quality of reading is achieved. I've also turned book reviewing into a positive habit to prevent binge-scrolling on social media.
Hi, Tomy. Book reviewing has had the same effect on me as you. I am also taking note of the way authors use grammar in their writing. Have a great day!
