I swear I'm smart and have pretty ok reading comprehension...but when I pick up a new game I have the hardest time understanding the rules and mechanics by just reading the instructions. Watching videos is helpful but I still really only pick it up while playing the game and going through the motions.
So I'm slowly collecting games that I can't play until I find people who know how to play.
How easily do you pick up new games?
I've been in a horrible reading slump for years. I was fine with audiobooks and podcasts but just couldn't concentrate on reading.
Finally I've found that Agatha Christie novels hold my attention - they are fast paced, not overly complicated, and got me interacting with the story as I played detective while taking notes on the clues in the story.
Now that my reading muscle memory is coming back, I'm able to branch out to more complex books.
What type of books break your reading slump?
I'm currently reading the book series that Howls Moving Castle is based on and it's so charming! Some big differences but I feel like the tone is similar. I'm curious what other good ones are out there based on other Ghibli movies.
