We love to read, but sometimes our brain just isn't able to work at enough capacity to hallucinate at a bunch of squiggles on a piece of d3ad tree. And that's okay! It's quality over quantity when it comes to being a bookworm. You don't need to read 1,000 books a year to be considered a reader. Just having one a book a year completely change your life is enough. Sorry, not sorry. As long as you enough the reading, then you are a reader, my friend. So join a book club! Share this fun trait with other likeminded friends who want to yap about the book that destroyed them. They'll understand if you weren't able to read this week. Just show up with some memes about it instead and have them all laughing with you!

And we know you will eventually get to reading your book again. We all always do. But until then, these memes are a good appetizer to your long novel. Just read some funny words, LOL, and then you can get back to the other stuff. A book club needs memes too, ya know! Gotta keep things fun no matter how devastating the book you're reading is.
