Fun question that popped up in one of my reading discords. I am currently reading a non-fiction, and I would be farming yams in Jamaica. Honestly sounds like a good time to me lol.

Hey everyone! As we dive into a new month, I thought it would be a great time to check in on our reading journeys! Whether you’re a voracious reader, in a reading slump (like me) or just picking up the habit, I’d love to hear about your progress. I just finished my first book of August yesterday—"The Naturals" by Jennifer Lynn Barnes! It was such a thrilling read, and I couldn't put it down. Now, I’m currently reading "Collide" by Bal Khabra, and I'm enjoying it so far. I wanted to ask everyone on their reading progress and what you're currently reading this month and to-be-read books for this month! I think it it would be cool if some of us have the same books lined up in our August tbr, and of course I'm looking for interesting reads/recommendations in your August reads. Whether it’s a highly anticipated release or a hidden gem you've been meaning to read Feel free to drop your thoughts! Let’s inspire each other and keep the reading momentum going. Happy reading! 📖✨

Very summer, I'm packed with work and other pesky things that keep me away from the cozy reading corner of my house... So I start reading between lunch break on my working place or subway stations. I was wondering where do you prefer to read? Outside, inside, with friends or alone?

When i was a kid id bring my book everywhere leading to an embarrassing photo collection of me reading in various ridiculous places: My dads pig shed, in a wheelbarrow, on top of a haystack, on my uncles roof. So my question is what is the strangest place you used to read as a kid or adult?!

i might get my feelings hurt with this one because there are a lot of well known/popular writers that i really love and enjoy. i read a freida mcfadden book recently and was genuinely disappointed. i grew up on agatha christie and i generally really enjoy mysteries/thrillers, and its been so long since i've enjoyed a good mystery. unfortunately for me, the writing felt very simplistic(? idk if that's the best word for it) and did not impress me at all. yes, this is a risk we all run when taking opinions/thoughts from strangers online, but i'm wondering if there are any super hyped up authors that you didn't/couldn't like at all. (this is exlcuding any authors you don't like because they are problematic in some way or the other)

I can't actually binge read anything. It's so frustrating when it comes to reading goals and suspenseful stories, but I genuinely can't. I reach a point where I get so tired, so 'full' with the story I've found that I need time to soak it in bfr being immensely excited to continue. Thats why I read multiple books at the same time, I need a break from most stories to fully enjoy them Does anyone else feel like this? Ik so many ppl like to binge do things, but I've genuinely never been able to resonate with the 'I couldn't put it down' or 'I finished it in a day' statements. If I try to I get book burnout. Today I read about 80 pages, and when I finished I was so overwhelmed 😭 it's not book specific either, it happens with every single one, just at different paces
