What the title says. I've always seen people online refer to themselves as "mood readers" but for some reason never looked it up until now. The definitions I'm seeing online seem to describe it as pretty much "reading whatever you feel like," but how is that different than regular reading? Does everyone not do that? What is the alternative? If you call yourself a mood readers (or if you purposefully don't), how do you define what that is? Does it have to do with caring more about vibes and atmosphere than tropes and plot? Thought I'd ask since I've seen some people put it in their bios here!

Edit to add: Okay, you've all convinced me I'm a mood reader! The general consensus I'm seeing in the comments is that a mood reader is someone who doesn't follow a strict TBR list and just reads whatever sounds good at the time rather than making a plan and sticking to it. I always have at least 10-15 books going at once MINIMUM because my TBR is literally where books go to die—if a book sounds good, I start it immediately no matter what I'm already reading. I don't know the last time outside of a series I planned out what books I was going to read next and stuck to it in any meaningful way 🫣

THIS IS FINE IM FINE WE’RE COOL COOL COOL COOL NOICE NOICE NOICE 🫨😬🫨😩😩😩

I'm having a crisis 😭 maybe I can find some of my people here, aka the people such as myself who love to highlight books and if there are such people here PLEASE I NEED YOUR HELP I bought some highlighters recently, and at first they were great ! Sharpie S NOTE if you want to know. But. They don't last very long 💀 like I read big books usually - around 500 pages each - so I'd need a highlighter to last me sometime. These ones are cute color-wise, but one of them doesn't last me a 180 page book !! If you have any recommendations for a more durable alternative I'll gladly take it 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I've had the colored pencils method a lot of times, but it's much more fluid to highlight stuff... if there's no other way colored pencils it will be, I just love my highlighters 😭

I am so excited for this to be the book that fulfills my reading goal of the year. I bought a beautiful hardcover version and it sat on my shelf for weeks - even through a move to the other side of the country. This will hopefully be a huge treat. And I'm excited to dive in.

Revving up for an 8 hour flight to Melbourne and would love some recs! Open to any and all genres ♥

The audiobook pronunciation of guvre is awfully close to goodra so I can’t help but picture that pokemon but with wings.
