Nick was not in the habit of thinking twice. It felt too good to say what was on his mind, even when it got him in trouble.

#ReadByColor – Rainbow Recs
20/20 Reading Update for 2021
At the start of the year, I decided to use a scaling goal to track my year of reading. My original goal of 10 books bumped up to 20, and thanks to #BookADayMay and a surprisingly productive summer reading session, I’ve blown through that goal and then some with a total of 50 books!
I’m bumping up my Goodreads goal to 60, and highlighting some more books on my To-Read pile for 2021!

Better
Perfectionism is your enemy this week! Learn to recognize small improvements and celebrate the areas you’re improving in, rather than beating yourself up for not having it down to a science. Practice makes better. Not perfect.
Tip of the Week: Stay consistent this week! Sticking to routine will be rewarded.

I Judge Books
I guess I’ve always been meant for the graphic design life, because packaging has always interested me. I’ve collected tags, ogled advertisements, and always chosen my next read based on the jacket. If you’re an aesthetic-first reader, this design is for us both!
