Hey everyone, I'm back again asking for book recs! The prompts for the Spring Quinox of Book Roast's Magical Readathon have been out for a few days now, and I've been trying to get my tbr together, but I'm stuck on the Restorations prompt, so I need your help! I recently did a post on here asking for recs for the Elemental Studies, which you can find here if you also need some recs.

I've made a Storygraph challenge with all of the prompts if you want to have a look at them all, or you can find Book Roast's announcement video here. This is my favourite readathon of all time, so I really hope that if you've never heard of it before or if you've been thinking about taking part, you take this as your sign to finally join because I promise it's a real blast!

So for Restorations, the prompt is to ask for five 5 STAR books and then to pick which one to read. So go forth and rant away at me about your 5 star favourite books, please (I can guarantee that my tbr will be exploding after this)

I do want to list a few of my five-star favourites here, just in case you also would like some recs, or if you want to know more about my reading taste. • Empire of Shadows by Jacquelyn Benson (The Mummy x Indiana Jones) • The Wager by David Grann (non-fiction told like a story) • Blue Lock series by Muneyuki Kaneshiro (apparently I like soccer when it's run by a guy who looks like the human version of Pleakley from Lilo and Stitch) • Mr Villain's Day Off series by Yuu Morikawa (silly cozy manga is my kryptonite) • The Invisible Life of Addie Larue by V. E. Schwab (invisibility is my favourite trope of all time) • A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle (my favourite book of all time) • The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson (I have been obsessed with this book since high school, and I don't see that stopping) • Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir (Isolation setting + found family?? made for me actually) • Jurassic Park (one of my top 3 favourite movies and one of my top 3 favourite books) • The House in the Cerulean Sea (found family + writing that I love)

my tbr so far: • Alchemy - a reread --> Scarlet by Marissa Meyer (also part of my hoemance book club readalong) • Spells & Incantations --> currently on a best seller list - The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson (this will be my 5th time reading but my first time annotating!) • Elemental Studies --> Coldwire by Chloe Gong

Thank you in advance, everyone! ❤️📚

Hey Boundlings! I hope the title makes sense, but this question came to me as I’m compiling my next set of books to donate to my local community bookshelf:

How do you determine which books you’re holding onto to keep, and which ones to get rid of/donate? Let me know your thoughts!

For me personally, it’s usually two ways: books that I DNF’d and didn’t like, or its books that just didn’t impress me enough to keep on my shelves for much longer.
