Hello!

Tell me something that's made you smile recently.

I'm hoping that by reading lots of people's examples I will absorb the positivity into my own life at the moment!

It might be: A piece of good news A silly joke A fun card in a shop window A little win A day of sunshine...

Please share away :) Thanks, I can't wait to read them and get some secondary cheer!

I am curious how others are taking on the Quests.

I love the idea of quests. The variety of themes and the really cool badges but I am not what I would call a committed quester.

It seems my modus operandi so far has been to peruse quests occasionally or notice them in my feed when someone else gets a badge, go to said interesting quest to see if I have read any of the books or if any are on my current TBR and join if it is remotely likely I could obtain a badge. Then if I am really motivated I will do a big Libby mass request and see what is possibly available to me there. Now this is where I go a bit astray in that I do not actively try to get the badge. I just see if by my normal reading habits and moods lead me to read enough to get a badge kinda by surprise.

As you can imagine this has not lead me to earning many badges but I do like the sort of lackadaisical surprise element to it for me.

How do you go about Quests? Are you a dedicated to the quest till the end questor or more an eyeball in many quests? Or maybe you use the quests to navigate your TBR by seeing what you feel in the mood for on the TBR and cross referencing it to the quests it might be in!

I'm looking for fiction books that have beautiful writing. It doesn't have to be deep, just well written (you can tell I've had my share of disappointments recently 🥲). Examples: Eragon, the vegetarian, flights, most of the classics. I would also like something that's not set in the USA (I've had a lot of that recently and I'm European so I'm looking for another perspective). Also looking for something that's compatible with feminist values, in terms of how women are depicted (looking at you, male authors who've never talked with a woman). I'm open to weird stuff, the genre doesn't matter that much. So hit me up with your favourites please! 💓
