Vocabulary Improvement

I’ve been trying to write blog posts again since I'm on maternity leave. Most of the time I had a hard time writing primarily for lack of time. When I finally have that precious time to compose my thoughts and start writing, I just find myself lost.

Lost in space, lost in my thoughts like there are one hundred and one things I wanted to share but don’t even know how or where to begin. I have created a few blog posts here and there and realized that I kept using the same words over and over again.

And it hit me. I’m having a hard time writing because my vocabulary SUCKS.

Come to think of it. When was the last time I read a novel? What was the last book I read? Hmmm, sad to say but I cannot remember. Was it prolly the Crazy Rich Asian or Fifty Shades of Gray? OMG. I think it was all the way from the time I was still pregnant with Munchkin. Five years ago. Half a decade ago. Such a long time indeed.

I guess it’s time to go back to reading books again, huh? I know I abandoned reading when I became a mom. It just frustrates me when it takes forever to finish a book. So for the longest time my reading materials were usually blogs who by the way are getting extinct by now. Sometimes news articles online and other times I read through threads from forums about parenting.

I really think it's about time to go back to my books. But the real question is, do I really have time to read? And if I do, I want it to be worthwhile. So the next question is, what can you guys recommend or suggest?
