Who wants to read more this year? 🙋🏻♀️ Today, we’ll be going over 4 practical tips on how I’ve been able to finish reading at least one book a month for the past few years. None of these are novel or crazy innovative hence the title but they have helped me immensely in finding myself & taking better care of myself—I hope it’ll help unlock the inner nerd within you too. 🤓 Happy reading, dearest potates ❤️
