Something that helped me was keeping a car book - aka the book that lives in my car and is perfect for when I am waiting in the school pick-up line for 15 minutes. Or when I take a lunch break at work and have 30 minutes to spare. Etc etc. It takes forever to complete, but I'm never without a book!
Great tips! I’ve found that starting new books at night in bed is the best way to get into them (this also often leads to interesting dreams). My mind is the most free from distractions then, and once I get past the first 20 pages of a book, I’m usually invested enough to continue during the day when there’s more going on.
yes!! evening used to be my jam but lately i've found the same vibe in early mornings... i will do pretty much anything on a cold morning to avoid having to go outside in the freezing cold, including getting into a new book i've been procrastinating starting, lol!

love this!! people don't realize how much you can read if you just swap out checking instagram or your email during idle "waiting" times.

On the historical fiction front, have you read any of Kate Morton’s books?
no!! do you have a rec?
The secret keeper was really good. Historical fiction/thriller vibes. Kind of long haul books but worth the journey I think!
