Iāve been meaning to start reading R. F. Kuangās books and was wondering if thereās a recommended order? I know theyāre 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 Iām curious if others agree or have a preferred order

I was excited going into this and had pretty high hopes. While it was sweet and had its charms, something just didnāt quite click for me. I didnāt 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 didnāt pull me in the way I expected. I would say itās a nice read between heavier series.

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 thingsāhighlighting quotes, marking š romance, š¢ sad, 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 didnāt 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 meāones that make me think š¤, feel deeply ā¤ļø, or that I know Iāll want to revisit š. šāļø Do you annotate your books? If so, do you prefer doing it with certain genres or specific types of stories? Iād love to hear about your approach! š¬š

Iāve been slow to get through this over the last couple of months and I think itās 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 Iād 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 Iād love the book, but I wish Iād read the book first!

Iām 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. Iām also lowkey sick of FMCs who let big things slide - maybe itās time to revisit that feminine rage FMC list

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
