A Year in Reading: Alexandra Tanner

This year my attention span was worse than ever; I found myself actually stopping to watch when one of those split-screen TikToks with a really intense Grey’s Anatomy scene playing on one side while someone cuts soap or scoops slime out of a bucket on the other side would come up on my feed. I’m as worried for my own brain as I am for the brains of all the Roblox babies and Carbone waitlist girlies out there. For that reason, I had to really entice myself to read by gamifying the process, by reading several things at once, by allowing myself to spend time with books in an intentional way.
