I mostly like reading for escapism, but sometimes I need something that changes my entire perspective on the world šŸ¦‹

    DNF at 60%

    I almost never DNF and I really wanted to like this because I found the premise quite interesting but my gOD I simply do not care, which is a rare response when you're 60% in

  • R. F. Kuang

    Iā€™ve been meaning to start reading R. F. Kuangā€™s books and was wondering if thereā€™s a recommended order? I know theyā€™re not all part of the same universe, but I remember seeing a post somewhere a little while ago that suggested reading The Poppy War series before Babel, and Iā€™m curious if others agree or have a preferred order

    Excited!

    My hopes of a new Dan Brown book have come true and I canā€™t wait to read it! Anyone else a fan?

    I was excited going into this and had pretty high hopes. While it was sweet and had its charms, something just didnā€™t quite click for me. I didnā€™t feel immersed in the story and at times I was having to push myself to get through it - not because it was bad, but because it just didnā€™t pull me in the way I expected. I would say itā€™s a nice read between heavier series.

  • šŸ“šāœļø Do You Annotate Your Books?

    I used to be hesitant about annotating my books. The idea of writing in them felt almost wrong at first, like I was ruining something. But eventually, I gave it a try, starting with the most basic thingsā€”highlighting quotes, marking šŸ’• romance, šŸ˜¢ sad, šŸ˜Š happy moments, and categorizing everything in a very structured way. For a while, I did it with every book I read, even when I didnā€™t truly feel connected to the story. It became more of a habit than a meaningful experience. But over time, I realized that annotation should be personal, not just a mechanical process. Now, I only annotate books that genuinely speak to meā€”ones that make me think šŸ¤”, feel deeply ā¤ļø, or that I know Iā€™ll want to revisit šŸ”„. šŸ“šāœļø Do you annotate your books? If so, do you prefer doing it with certain genres or specific types of stories? Iā€™d love to hear about your approach! šŸ’¬šŸ˜Š

    Iā€™ve been slow to get through this over the last couple of months and I think itā€™s because I chose to listen to the audiobook. I usually prefer to read but have enjoyed some audiobooks recently (When the Moon Hatched was so good), but I think for this story I would have kept momentum better if Iā€™d just read it quickly. Trying to get through the last 10% this weekend!

    I picked this up after watching the series on Netflix. I loved the show and knew Iā€™d love the book, but I wish Iā€™d read the book first!

    Iā€™m trying to not be overly critical of writing quality when I specifically pick up a book for the hype and not the prose, but here I am. Side-eyeing the writing. Iā€™m also lowkey sick of FMCs who let big things slide - maybe itā€™s time to revisit that feminine rage FMC list

    Post-reading clarity

    I think a break from romantasy is needed. I miss plots that plot and narrative that flows and characters that I believe in. There I said it
