I've seen a lot of discussion recently online about how fast different people read and also the different ways people approach reading books and what effect that has on reading speed.

I saw a post which said some people only read dialogue in books and skipped descriptions which is fascinating to me so if that's you I would love to hear more about how you started doing that and if you enjoy books more now.

In a conversation with a friend they said that when they read, they hear each word in their head as if said aloud which is so different to how I read and I was wondering if maybe that affected reading speed.

I'd love to know how everyone processes words when reading and also if you consider yourself a fast or slow reader?

Happy Sunday, Boundlings! 💜

It’s been awhile since I’ve done an Itty Bitty Winnies post! I got some less than stellar news this weekend and could use a pick me up! 🙌🏻

I want to hear your micro wins! The small victories that would maybe go unnoticed by others, but felt powerful to you! 👏🏻

I can’t tell if I’m enjoying this or not. I know it’s a cozy sci-fi(?) rom com but the writing style is a little too adorkable for me. I don’t know. The characters feel like caricatures sometimes, and there’s more than one too many details to make them seem as unique as possible.

Hey guys! When you pick up a sequel to a series you haven't touched in a while, do you reread the first books, or just start the next one?

Im conflicted, haha.

Imagine you're promoting your favourite genre to people who have never read it. If you had to pick one book to represent it and recommend, what would it be?

Doesn't need to be the traditionally definitive book of that genre, just the one you think you could hook someone with. Basically, someone asks why you love that genre, what book do you hand them?

i'm curious to know if there are titles you have that you constantly recommend to your friends, especially to new readers who are still exploring their preferred genres.

my personal favorites include:

1. andy weir - project hail mary
2. rachel gillig - one dark window
3. ali hazelwood books (i recommend whatever title based on what trope they're likely to prefer)
4. suzanne collins - the hunger games trilogy

these are the titles that i know are beginner friendly. very interested to see what's yours, since i'm also planning to dabble in other genres other than my usual.
