When we discussed doing a little unofficial readalong for the quest, it was requested that we do a standalone since series are often a commitment. That said, there aren’t a lot of standalone dragon books but we’ve had a recent addition to the quest that inspired me to make this post.

In the comments, I’ll list each book as a comment. Upvote any that you’d be willing to read for a start I’m thinking in September!

The Dragon Has Some Complaints I’ve heard is a standalone and has humour and generally a comfort vibe!

The Sky On Fire is a standalone! It’s considered a heist!

A Fate Forged in Fire is book one in a duology. This one is considered a romance I believe with enemies to lovers.

If there’s a book you’d like to suggest for the readalong, feel free to make a comment with the title and a brief about and people can vote for that one too. Please make sure it’s in the quest! It does not have to be a standalone or in a duology!

Does anyone else feel guilty when buying a special edition book that they haven't read yet? If so, how do you move past it?

I've had my Fairyloot subscription for a few months now, and I love getting the monthly book and looking at the beautiful artwork, but after that, I feel this sick guilt in my stomach.

I should've prefaced this by saying that I've always had a "harder" time buying books. Even ones that I want, because I'm not a rereader, so those books will just live on my shelves forever. I think it's a cross between that and "ugh, I've wasted money that I could've used on something else". Yet, I want to own them. I love looking at my bookcase and seeing these stories...

90% of the books I own, I've bought after I read them because I loved them. A lot come from used bookstores, so I haven't thrown thousands of dollars at this hobby, and yet, the guilt is there. I wish it would go away.

Now, that I'm getting special editions for books that I haven't read yet... and I'm spending $40 a month on things I could hate... that pit in my stomach grows every time, and I want it to go away 😭😭

Please tell me this isn't an original experience... I don't want to feel like this. I just want to be able to look at these books and love them. Not feel guilty and like I'm throwing my money away.

Last year I posted about my family celebrating National Read a book day by essentially doing blind date with a book for each of us and y'all seemed to love it. Just wanted to remind y'all in advance since I had posted late last time.

I hope to hear about how y'all celebrate it and what books it may bring y'all! Wishing you all 5 stars💚

I'm not a fan of enemies to lovers... I truly do not like this trope... however, I pretend that I do because everyone loves it 😭🤧

The same way I dont like bully romance or mean banter... 😕

I do read it, but i just can understand it 🤧
