With any luck, you will never be able to read all the books you want.

Put aside more time in your day to read, is all I can think of. I’m a verrrrry slow reader — especially when the book isn’t my favorite. I’ve been reading a 208pg book for 10+ days… it’s a struggle being a slow reader 😭

That's not an issue of speed, but of FOMO. Spend less time looking for new books to read and it'll die down a little (but never fully go away)

Sometimes I feel this way, because there are so many promising books in my TBR list. But it’s impossible. I tell myself I can put anything on my TBR list that I want and then read at the rate I read.

one thing that really sped up my reading was a different mindset. learning to accept that i don't have to actually look at every word to understand what i'm reading took my speeds to a whole new level. i started with something i already knew and just flew over the sentences. think almost skim reading. pretty soon i started realizing that i am indeed grasping everything at noticeable higher speeds. and if not you can always go back.

not advised for authors with complicated structures or very involved prose.
