I was thinking about it, like, I mostly read thrillers/horror books, and I always say that I’m not that into romances, but I clearly I’m a sucker for a good romance every once in a while and recently I’ve been very in non-fiction. So what’s the genre you gravitate the most? For me I think it depends on my mood 😹 and you?

On the journey to lower my children's screentime, my husband and I have been doing the same. It was easier than we thought, mainly because we were so unimpressed with all the current TV shows. Since picking up reading fiction again, it has scratched my itch for entertainment without a screen. The kids see us read more, and so they also mirror us and pick up their books more. Has anyone else experienced the lack of entertainment on TV Shows, or is it just me? Have I finally understood the love for reading over TV? And if I am missing out, I am down to find a new show to watch with my hubby here and there. Give me your suggestion.

I haven't made it past here. Finding it hard to be grabbed by it. It might be book hangover from finishing KoA 🥲 If anyone has any words of encouragement to not DNF, I'll be your bestie forever 😚😚

Be honest: is it the cover, the title, the author, the blurb, the vibes, or the hype?

In my mind, comfort books (or series) are more than just a favorite you revisit occasionally. They’re books you might reread every year, or that you turn to when you need something familiar and welcoming. They might be connected to a specific memory or time in your life, or gifted to you by someone special. Or the story just resonates with you in a way that brings you comfort. Here are mine: -The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo -The Infernal Devices series by Cassandra Clare -Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson -A Far Wilder Magic by Allison Saft (I do not support her being a Gale defender, do not come for me 😭)

i want to protect Elide so much. I'm excited to see where she goes (and i also finally understand the Manon love)

I’m just curious how many people read the blurbs? Or the summary on the back? I’m a go in blind kind of person. I rarely will read the blurb/summary. I like having no idea what the book is about and then figuring it out as I read it. Anyone else?

Hi friends! I'd love to know - which book do you consider your cozy fantasy first love that piqued your interest in the genre? For me, I think House in the Cerulean Sea was the first time I read cozy fantasy, but The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches was when I realized there's a whole genre to explore (which even contains books much cozier than either of those two!)
