Thank you so much for this video! And thank you for showing an example of a responsible approach to one's own mental health! 🤍 One thing I would be curious to hear you talk about is what do you get from a readathon. Sometimes I feel like there's definitely a downside to having to read books which clearly don't work for you, but you kind of have to complete them. And hey, we live only once. do you ever feel that's the downside or you're still happy to have experienced even the worst books?
I think it depends on the readathon and it's parameters. Bookroast has been very accommodating with prompts, so choosing books is actually not difficult and this readathon allows the reader to tweak the prompts/rules to match their reading preferences. Ultimately, if you use a readathon as a suggestion and treat it like a game (by having fun but also creating a bit of a challenge), then it can be very fun. But, I also have only ever really connected with this readathon and once the SciFi September readathon, so I too wouldn't consider myself a lover of reathons in general. The Orilium Readathon just really speaks to me and I am able to customize it to suit my preferences and have fun. I don't think they are for everyone 🥰

15:46 I should have watched your videos first instead of suffering reading these books 😔
