Welcome to Litsy!

Here‘s my review for a book I just finished reading.

I‘m reading a psychology textbook called Understanding Motivation And Emotion and I thought this was very interesting. I‘m familiar with this theory but I forgot about it. This is probably why some people can‘t handle it when new information is presented to them because it goes against what they believe or what they‘ve been told.

I updated my reading progress on StoryGraph because Goodreads is having technical difficulties. In the psychology textbook I‘m reading, I made it to 270 pages. Maybe tonight, I‘ll read The Honeys since I‘ve only read the first chapter and I want to find out what happens next. I don‘t usually start more than 1 book but I feel like I have to read other books too since I‘m reading a textbook.

I was on Google last night searching for ways to make reading textbooks more fun and I found out that the most effective way to read a textbook is to read the end of the chapter first. I decided today to just read the end of the chapter since I‘m reading this for fun and not taking a test on it. This is going to save me so much time and brain power. I thought I had to read the chapters from front to back like a regular book but I don‘t.

I decided to start this book. This psychology textbook was my mom‘s and I want to read it because psychology is one of my favorite subjects to learn about. I‘m going to read this in between reading other books. I need to take my time reading this book. It‘s really interesting so far. In the book introduction, it says that this book is intended for psychology undergraduate students but this doesn‘t feel like it‘s too advanced for me.
