Summary
After about two years in which they read nothing but subtitles and Reddit posts, they read their first proper book again this year. They picked a romance novel they had already read so the plot took little effort, and mentioned putting it down every five minutes when their eyes stopped focusing. They found the reread strategy underrated for getting back into reading.
