In the writing course I'm taking, I must take a month-long break between the first draft and the second. During that month, I'm supposed to read as much as I can and take notes, erasing my own book from my mind. The goal is to read so much that I forget my voice, allowing me to have fresh eyes for editing. This week, I'll be reading Brooklyn by Colm Tóibín, an Irish author, and Strange Pilgrims by Gabriel García Márquez.

I'm not a fast reader, and as I've mentioned before, I have never read a book faster than it was written. Reading multiple books at a time helps, but I truly think I won't have enough distraction to reset myself enough. I can't read fast and probably only finish one new book this month. It is what it is. Thankfully and tragically, this is not a graded course, so I'm not going to fail any tests but my own—editing my book with fresh eyes.

October TBR! . I usually don’t post my TBR lists because I’m a slow reader so my list doesn’t really compare to the others posted on here, and I don’t really plan what I read! But these 3 are my ‘definite’ reads for October, and hopefully I can sneak one more in this month! . How many books do you usually read in a month? . . . #octobertbr #tbr #tbrpost #tbrpile #toberead #tobereadlist #tbrstack #bookspines #yafantasy #yalit #yabooks #northernlights #hisdarkmaterials #philippullman #bookstack #slowreadersclub #slowreader #bookstagram #bookworm #october #spookyseason #spooktober https://www.instagram.com/p/B3GB0gggKR1/?igshid=czn53cpoh05d

LIVE on the blog now! Fantasy & SciFi Novels I'm Excited to Read in 2020! I know, I know. Four months of 2020 have already passed us by. However, I didn't get a chance to make this list earlier in the year, so I'm making it now. The list is short because I'm a slow reader, but what is here promises to be gold. Because of quarantine, I've been using my Kindle a lot, and I'm so excited to get these downloaded as soon as I can!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Read the rest now at www.rvbutlerauthor.com!⁠ There's a link in my bio if it will work! 😅⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #amreading #amreadingfantasy #amreadingscifi #bookworm #slowreader #bibliophile #Kindle #books #newreleases #2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/B_pk_yXhDWu/?igshid=v5e28lq01b9d

I can't go out. So, my television and laptop are doing slide shows and showing me how beautiful outside is, without you #homospanies. . . I can't go out but I can bring the view here.😂 Anyway, I'm currently reading #kalfaontheshore I'm a slow reader. So, it's gonna take time. Though, I'm loving the book. Damn sure I'll buy the whole collection of #harukimurakami after this look down. What are your plans after this lockdown? And what are your current reads? . . . #bookstagram#bookaddict#bookish#bookishgirl#booklover#bookworm#slowreader#reader#currentlyreading#thebookworm#thebookoholics#bookaholic📚#booknerd#bookediting#laptop#viewathome#masalatea#rainyday#tea#photography#bookphotography#redmiphotography#likeforlikes#follow#view#eveningtea#eveningmood https://www.instagram.com/p/B_N1QWwBGYG/?igshid=z1uiqjb1td35

I'm doing a 30-day engagement challenge with personal questions. The question of the day is: What's your favourite genre to read and why?

Sadly I engage in only three genres, I like to open up to new genres, though I just can't seem to focus. I have ADHD. and my brain is really picky. there are some fonts, topics and voices I just can seem to read.

One is literary contemporary fiction, but always on the more funny side and, above all, short stories. I love Miranda July, Otessa Moshfegh, Haruki Murakami, Lydia Davis, and Sayaka Murata, always with a hint of satire because just drama makes me uncomfortable. I really like apathetic characters; they make me feel safe.

The other genre is really specific: anything regency-era, smut or not. My favourite book of all time is "Pride and Prejudice," and I have read it once every three months since I was nine. I just love it. Reading Regency usually helps me to calm down my thoughts. It is easy and doesn't require much concentration.

I'm a slow reader. I can confidently say I have never read a book faster than it has been written, and I usually read multiple books at a time.

Last but not least, my favourite genre is old Latin American magic realism, like Gabriel Garcia Márquez, Isabel Allende, Borges, Cortázar, and Galeano. Since I'm Chilean, it's really comforting. There is something about the voice and the world that makes me feel really at home.

Finally finished #HappyBirthdayStory by #SuzannaSlack which I picked up at a #QueerFayre by @woteverworld about 3 months ago. . However, as my friend @danielandjess says, some books, like cake, are so rich you need to take your time to consume them. Besides, there’s nothing wrong with being a #slowreader! Sometimes it means you have more time to appreciate what you’re reading. . 📖📖📖 .

I haven’t been posting for a while simply because I’m currently reading “Infinite Jest”, which is, you know, a long but an immensely satisfying read. This book demands my attention like a spoiled child, making it almost impossible to finish even such a short book as “Everything Under” by Daisy Johnson 😕 So, today - just a picture of two short story collections by some of my favourite authors (both books are great as a first read if you have never read anything by George Saunders or Denis Johnson). #bookstagram #booklover #instabook #americanliterature #americanauthors #postmodernliterature #postmodernism #shortstory #shortstorywriter #shortstorycollection #denisjohnson #georgesaunders #civilwarlandinbaddecline #thelargesseoftheseamaiden #bookcover #slowreading #whattoread #whattoreadnext #firstread (at Tallinn, Estonia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKdrG4gALkk/?igshid=15osiobzckkb1
