you know what should be a thing as well as regular book clubs?

a book club where every week/month you turn up and talk about your own books you've read. you can recommend them to members you think might like them, talk about why you chose your book, get that rush of excitement when you're trying to recommend a book without spoiling the exciting bits.

because not everyone has time to read a book club book and what's on their tbr, but that shouldn't mean they have to miss out on the fun socialising book clubs offer. also, you'll get exposed to way more fun and interesting books than if you're going through one a meeting!

If you're lamenting the fact that you used to be able to shoot through a 500-page novel in like a day when you were in middle school and now you can't, it's worth bearing in mind that a big part of that is because when you were in middle school, your reading comprehension sucked. Yes, mental health and the stresses of adult life can definitely be factors, but it's also the case that reading is typically more effortful as an adult because you've learned to Ponder The Implications. The material isn't just skimming over the surface of your brain anymore, and some of the spoons you used to spend on maximising your daily page count are now spent on actually thinking about what you're reading!
