I have FOMO. Like everyone else, I have a growing TBR and when I see book forum posts from my TBR list appear in the feed and there are spoilers, I want to click them. It's like an itch. But I don't because I don't want to ruin the magic for myself. Perhaps we can get a face emoji 😀😍🥳🧐🤬or a scale of "positive, neutral, negative" on the post, so it can inform the vibes of the book as it progresses? So I get a better sense of the book. Would make a great graph once you have enough data as well. I feel like this would also entice me to add a book to my TBR since I see posts from people I follow that I may not have known about. Would anyone else find this useful? Or would that spoil the magic for you?

Really enjoying this so far and it’s still so early on!!! I wish I didn’t have to work today! 🤣 This book has so many interesting political references, I have a ton of highlights of things to look into later.

Some of the below series have heavily debated starting points and book read orders--in those cases the pilot was selected based on what seems to be the most popular approach.

I was just recently was able to meet and get my books signed by my recently favourite author Bora Chung. I was so happy. But I am also sad because so many of my favourite authors are dead or are Japanese who I probably will not get to ever meet. Anyone have any good stories of authors they got to meet? Or authors who you wish you could have met?

Stars: 4.25 - banter/chemistry .75 - Plot .5 - Character development 1 - Writing/humour 1 - Overall feeling about the HEA 1 🌶️🌶️ 🍯 🍯 For you if you like books with: - medieval knight tournaments - Heroines that have a lot of character development and figure out how great they are - Heroes that are protective and a little bit jealous with an “I would lose my mind if anything happened to her vibe” - Marriage of convenience I was nervous about Lenora’s book but I shouldn’t have been… Alice Coldbreath knows what she is about. I was not expecting how things started for Lenora in this book and found it a refreshing plot for exploring Lenora’s character growth. Garman had a journey of his own as well but it felt less central than Lenora’s to me. Still rewarding though. They are a great couple!

I just did this on Instagram with physical books, but I thought it might be fun to see what others can come up with! These are all books I physically own because I wanted to take a picture, but I'd say it counts digitally if a book is one you've read or is on your TBR whether you own the book or not! Here's mine, I regretted the long username a little. I didn't expect it to be so hard to find enough E's lol. (now my goal is to read them all this year, luckily I have a good start). A - Artemis by Andy Weir P - Phantasma by Kaylie Smith R - Reckless by Lauren Roberts I - IT by Stephen King L - Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien T - Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson H - the Hobbit by JRR Tolkien E - Eragon by Christopher Paolini B - the Bone Season by Samantha Shannon O - One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig O - Our Infinite Fates by Laura Steven K - the Kaiju Preservatjon Society by John Scalzi Q - Queen of Shadows by Sarah J Maas U - Us Dark Few by Alexis Patton E - Empire of Storms by Sarah J Maas E - Encyclopedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett N - Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo

Usually, I will wait until the next day before I actually commit to reading a new book. I feel weird about starting a new book on the same exact day. I feel like I need to sleep over it before it's truly over

So does anyone else actively seek out spoilers or is it just me?? For instance, I had a friend who read a book I was interested in - romance with POC main characters that seemed to be a why choose - and I asked them for a full plot rundown because I wanted to be sure it was something I would enjoy and not a case of a book description fishing for reads. I absolutely 100% believe hiding things behind a spoiler tag is something people should be doing to avoid revealing anything to those who've yet to read the book. But with the limited time I have for reading, and a TBR that's already long enough to reach the moon, sometimes I just want to know if the time I invest in a book is going to be worth it to me. Anyway, anyone else do this or something similar??

Real Stars: 5 - banter/chemistry- 1 - Plot-1 - Character development -1 - Writing/humour - 1 - Overall feeling about the HEA -1 🌶️ 🌶️ 🍯 🍯 Normally I don’t go to much into book descriptions because that is what the back of the book is for, but in this case it’s necessary because the back cover description is not right. I am trying to do this without spoiling anything. Elspeth is on a mission to find an important book needed to help her community. There are people who don’t want her to and she is in danger. At the same time Julian is trying to protect his family from his evil uncle and find info to stop his uncle and he is also in danger. They band together to accomplish their goals. This book is for you if you like: - bookish heroines - Ladies being in charge - Heroes who are cold and starchy outside but have ooey-gooey centers! - A little bit of a Star-crossed lover vibe
