Part 4/9:
Pressure to Read More: The rise in her reading numbers has led to an internal struggle where she finds herself prioritizing quantity over quality. Instead of immersing herself fully in one book, she admits to preemptively planning her next reads, losing valuable moments of engagement with the story at hand.
Fear of Missing Out (FOMO): The desire to participate in discussions around popular books often compels Tori to continue reading books she’s not fully enjoying. This has further complicated her reading journey, as she feels she cannot abandon books that don’t resonate with her.
Tori’s realization about her reading limitations—particularly her tendency to feel obligated to read certain books—has sparked a desire for change.
