What is your current favorite snack when reading? Some snacks I tend to choose (I like savory snacks): - red wine vinegar chips - Fig Crackers with any type of cheese - Hot Cheetos (thank goodness for ereader clicker) - Homemade Popcorn - Cucumbers w/ SsamJang - Chip and dip of any type haha

I've been buying so many books lately, either because they've just come out and I want to read it right away or I've just been finding really good deals that I know I won't find again, and while I always buy books with a conscience mind and at the best price I can find, I also don't want to keep buying books knowing I already have so many on my shelves. I want to try going on a buying ban, but at the same time there's so many new releases and cheap deals that it gets hard to not fall into the temptation. If you are/have been on a book buying ban, what's your secret? Do you set goals for yourself or have any way to motivate yourself to not spend money on books? Or is it really just a self control kind of thing?

I used to be a huge reader back in school, but once college started I just no longer had the time and lost the habit. I'm finally getting back into reading since my job is kind of "mindless" work and I can listen to audiobooks all day. I'm still struggling to find the time to read at home so I was debating getting an ereader that I can use while on my lunch break at work or during commutes, and I was wondering what everyone's preferred ereaders are? I don't typically buy books unless I know for sure I am going to like the story or I already like the author, so I use the Libby library app quite a bit and would prefer one that can support books from that. If you're going to suggest Kindle, is Kindle Unlimited worth it? It seems crazy to me that so many books are $0 on there so I'm wondering what the catch is lol. Thanks in advance!

I've been finding out there are trope names for things I didn't even know were considered tropes and had terms. Turns out my favourite trope is 'the cavalry arrives.' I hear a lot about romantic tropes, but I'd be really curious to hear about what non-romantic tropes you really like! (You can share the romantic ones too! I just don't see the others talked about as much!) I'm a big fan of 'the cavalry arrives' and 'found family' and the whole 'morally grey character' thing.

I’ve been a fan of Rachel Gillig for years, loved the One Dark Window duology. When this book was announced I was SO excited, the concept, the cover… yes. Near everyday since the ARCs have gone out and I see people posting reels/stories of them opening this book I’m just about out of my seat. I neeeeeed to read it, I’m dying over here…. is it May yet 😭
