My Writing Approach During This Book Reading Challenge
As I sat down to write my thoughts on the first book of my 2025 Reading Challenge, I felt myself being pulled into a familiar habit. That is, summarizing the book as opposed to focusing on the personal impact the book had on me. I am sure there are many websites (Wikipedia, ChatGPT, etc.) that could summarize a book better than I can. So I will leave that job to those sites.
Rather, I would like the focus of my blog to be on the way my life changed (if any) as a result of reading the book. Do I think differently? Act differently? Prioritize my life differently? Have I found more clarity as a result of the book? Has it left me questioning myself and my way of life? These are the questions that I want to ask myself and that I will focus my blog posts on.
For each book review blog post, I will start with the author’s name and the book title, besides that, I will focus on my own experience. This way I am able to ask myself my own thoughts, instead of simply regurgitating the author’s thoughts.
