"seems that you've forgotten who's the only one you belong to and could use a reminder." And with that, he leans down and bites on the hickey. Hard. Like a bloodthirsty vampire.

what is something that you accomplished/felt proud of last week?

and what is one thing (big or small) on your "to-do" list for next week?

Now that Sunday is coming to an end… which book was your favourite this week? How was your weekend? Which books are you looking for to read next week? 🥰 I have finished Poets Square and it was AMAZING 🩷 It had been on my TBR for months and it I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did. I also spent a lot of time reading today and it feels so good. But I feel like I have to move my body now so I’m trying to gather some strength to go to the gym 😭 Also I’m currently reading The Life Impossible by Matt Haig and I actually really like it 🥰 It feels great to read something I enjoy after having to DNF many books the past few weeks…

How are you dealing with a book you have trouble with ? Are you putting it aside, or do you keep reading it until the end, even if you don't really like it ?

I'm a vibes reader, I don't really dislike books (I only ever DNFed 1 book and it's a surprising one tbh 😭), but I always tend to keep going, even if I'm not the most invested in the story or the characters!

I'm curious about other types of readers! If you tend to DNF book quite often, are you not feeling like you're missing out on something ? I think I'm always hopeful that it's gonna get better 🤣

I absolutely hate how much I'm enjoying the possessivness of Hades... I'd absolutely despise a man like this in real life, and yet in the fictional world, I'm enamoured, and I need more of him.

i’m like that lizard meme… every time i finish a book, i’m likely to rate it a five or four star read. i have high standards for quality of writing, but aside from that i can pretty much enjoy anything. my reasoning for high ratings is wanting to recommend it to other readers without having to write a whole review and them not having to read it. high average ratings? people are more likely to pick it up.

i also understand the motivations to be more discerning. but, we’re all just vividly hallucinating while flipping sheets of organic material around 🤷‍♀️

this is a place to share your rating system, if that’s something you can verbalize! (i couldn’t until very recently) i’m very interested in reading other people’s thoughts on this matter.
