I’ll go first! Gemini Sun (A book/series with your favorite side character/supporting cast): The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells (I love everyone but ART maybe my favorite supporting character) Sagittarius Moon (A palette cleanser book): The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner Scorpio Rising (Longest book you’ve read): Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson (1000+ pages/48hrs)

Are you one of those people who only reads one book at a time or do you have a bunch on the go at once?

I think of myself as a polyreader (and I blame it on my ADHD). I have 14 on the go at the moment, although one of those is a reread. If you do read more than one book at a time - do you ever have problems picking up from where you left off?

Since September is coming to an end (already?? oof), I wanted to check in with everyone and ask what your reading month has been like? Did you read more than usual or less? Have you started with the Fall readalong?

I read two books less than last month but still my “normal amount” you could say and even managed to read 3 out of the 5 fall readalong books!! and since I read Don’t Let the Forest In last year, I only have one left to go!

template for anyone who’d like to share some september stats:

books in total: favourite: least favourite: most surprising: longest vs shortest: october read to look forward to:

I’ll share my own stats in the comments as well 💗

I recently bought Fifth Season! Id heard of it but I didn't realize it was in 2nd person. I flipped it open and it started with "You did [something]" and I was like "Me?????" I really want to know if there are more second person books out there! Not necessarily entirely written in second person but I love when books bring their reader into the story!

Does anyone have any books they absolutely DON’T want adapted? I always feel like a lot of adaptation discussion is about things people really want to see visually (which like same) but I’m wondering if anyone has any books they don’t want adapted. Either because it can’t be adapted in a way that would do it justice or just the way it’s played out in the book is too perfect to try for something in that medium. An example for me would be Piranesi.
