📚💥 MANIC MONDAY 💥📚

New week, same chaotic TBR energy.

You know the drill: the weekend ends, Monday arrives, and suddenly you’re staring at approximately 47 books you want to read immediately while also trying to function like a responsible adult.

So, let’s embrace the chaos!

✨ What are you currently reading? 📖 What book is next up on your TBR? 🔥 And be honest, how many books did you add to your TBR this weekend?

Drop your current reads, recent hauls, or the book currently consuming your brain below! Let’s start the week off on the right foot!

This is starting to get a little bit predictable..

This is inspired by my recent reads...

What was the last book you were truly relieved to finish? Deep breathe out and thank God it's finally over now.

I read Whiteout by Ann Grech. It was awful. I don't think I can remember a book that I had a worse reaction to. I do usually DNF but I couldn't do it for this.

post inspired by me trying to keep up with the Diverse Baseline reading challenge this year. i love the prompts, i love the aim of the challenge, but trying to read specific books each month for it (+trying to keep up with the two online book clubs i’m in) has just been making me feel like i’m not getting to be really free with my reading, if that makes sense? like it feels like every time i’m picking a new book, it’s for a challenge or a book club. a few years ago i loved yearly prompt reading challenges, so not sure what changed lmao. thinking of just exiting all the reading challenges i’m in and reading whatever i want to read, but wanted to ask other people here if they get stressed by trying to keep up with reading challenges.

For those who participate in book clubs, tell me about them! Are they small or large, in person or online, chill or structured, etc?

I am in an in person bookclub that's very small and just my three close friends and me, we read anything but horror basically and it's a super chill meeting style. We take turns picking a book, and we cycle bringing snacks also.

Then I co-run an online bookclub that focuses solely on horror, with more structure, and it's a lot bigger since we accept and encourage people to join all the time, it's also more structured and focused upon dissecting the story more. We choose the book by vote and do meetings on discord.
