When is your favorite time of day to read, the morning, the afternoon, or the evening? I love reading in the evening with a cup of coffee in hand☕️✨️

Hiiiii! I would love to get into one of Illona Andrews's series. Should I just start with Kate Daniels or should I start with another?

Similarly, does anyone have thoughts about the Guild Hunters Series by Nalini Singh?

Without doxing yourself plzzz

Some of you are reading so much with full time jobs😭 I gotta know what y’all do and how many hours you’re doing it. I know a few people are lucky enough to get to read on the job! That’s the dream.

how do you guys navigate a buddy read?

my best friend and i are always attempting a buddy read, but it's really difficult for us with our busy schedules. i'm sure lots of you do long distance buddy reads, and i wanted some input for when it's hard to read together in person!

do you plan the amount you'll read before you discuss (ex. pages or chapters)? have certain questions you ask each other, or maybe just yap about your thoughts and feelings once you get there? i want all the deets!

For me it’s a seltzer, my warm light lamp, and a pile of my TBR books 📕

For those of you who like to write (or have to do a lot of it even if you don't like it), or like to annotate books, what are your favorite writing instruments?

For general writing, I like fountain pens (and my dozens of bottles of ink). Day to day, I use the Lamy Safari, but I have a handful of cheap Japanese "Preppy" fountain pens that write well and I have some other fountain pens of various quality/price.

I also recently got a brass pen with a Japanese made felt tip that also takes fountain pen ink and writes wonderfully. I have a dip pen and some acrylic inks somewhere but I rarely use that one.

All of the above require paper that will take the ink, so they're not ideal for annotating. I typically use a mechanical pencil when annotating, rather than ink. Unless I am annotating in my Kobo Libra Colour.

But for general writing I do lik pens and I try to pick up a variety of different or unusual pens when I can!

Ehhh I think Frannie deserves better but I think it’s just because I love her. He’s giving Benedict bridgerton with the manipulation
