If you have been part of the bookish interest in recent years, you have probably seen some iterations of the “Reading More” discussion. There was a time when reading as much as possible was in vogue, but it made that some people feel bad when they could not read as much as their favorite influencers. Then, the feeling of not stressing or comparing yourself to others seemed to soak up. The latter is mainly where we are now, although there are recent data that show that Americans would still like to read more than they do now.

But what happens if you are somehow between the two feelings? Compare yourself to others and do what should be a quiet and pleasant activity in something competitive that ultimately gives you the impression that a failure is counterproductive, but many of us would always like to know more for various reasons. Like replacing crolling dooms with something more fulfilling for example.

For those of you who, like me, are in this intermediate area, I have some articles that can push you gently towards the time to spend less time absorb blue light and more time achieve personal reading goals, whatever they are. To guide my selection, I followed the advice of some articles of the riot of the book, like that of Clare Barnett, and that of Danika Ellis.
