"We know a sunfish looks like a bin lid with wings..." I cackled. Poor sunfish, I love them.

Okay, the magic in this book is very interesting, this'll be a fun one.

Okay, I think I have found a rhythm with this book. The key, for me, has been to just go with the flow and not think too hard about it all. I am really enjoying this writing style now, a story has unfolded (literally, on stage too) and I feel like I am multiple characters all at once.

The humor in this book is so good, I didn't think it would be this funny.

I love doing reading challenges and being able to check things off of a list. I know we have specific like genre/author/universe type challenges but I would love if in the future there was some sort of challenge with prompts where you can fill in your own books. I like how storygraph does theirs but I struggle with trying to find NEW challenges I would like to join. I'm only a handful of books away from completing an alphabet book challenge for this year which made me think of this lol.

I want to read pure fantasy (without romance drama) and I know Brandon Sanderson is the king right now of the genre, but I feel lazy about starting a heavy lore (fantasy books). Any recommendations to start with his books to adapt myself into a new world?

As someone who loves stats I'm always fascinated by numbers 👁️🗨️ What's your average rating for books? What kind of "book-rater" do you consider yourself to be, and does it match that average? And if you don't know your average, what do you feel like is the most common rating you tend to give books? I consider myself to not be a very harsh rater and my average sits at 3.91/5 stars, which is somewhat inconsistent with my impression of mostly giving out 3.5 stars 😂 I guess I've been handing more 4+ stars lately (or I just came across a bunch of books I really loved, which is also great 💖) What do your numbers look like? 👀

With so many different opinions, reading is pretty much unique to each person, and it can be super overwhelming when looking for new book recs. Finding people with similar taste is a great starting point, but even then two people can obsess over series A, but one loves and one hates series B. Then there are reviews as well, but that can be a hit or miss too. You might end up loving a book that's rated fairly low or DNFing one that everyone seems to love. So how do you decide whether to add a book to your TBR or not? When do you give a book a chance and when do you pass it over?

The "plans" feature is my favourite 💗 it's so much fun to plan my next month tbr even if I might change it eventually bc I'm a mood reader! But I've added all the new releases in the respective months to remind myself to read it! Have you planned your next month's tbr or for the entrie year? How do you use plans feature?
