Does anyone else like to listen to music while they read? And if so what do you like to listen to? Does it vary depending on what you’re reading? Or do you find it too distracting?
Personally, I’m super into music that fits the vibe of the book I’m reading. Like while I read Legends and Lattes I listened to some soft tavern ambience and now I’m reading dark gothic books and I’m listening to that type of vibe, like This Mortal Coil and Slowdive. I’d love music as well as reading so I’m curious to hear what you guys are listening to while you read! 😄

Ugh I remember being so pleased at how Hawthorne Legacy incorporated so much recap from Inheritance Games early in the book, I'm really frustrated this book doesn't do the same because I'm LOST. I have a terrible memory about plot points and am spinning in circles trying to figure out which of these vague references they keep making are to things that happened in prior books versus things that will be explained later in this book as having happened between this book and last. Like I remember them being mad at Alisa about something but not exactly what, and has there been more since or is that what they're talking about? Same with the never ending headache of Avery's hyper awareness of Grayson, I don't remember what she's referring to happening with him but can't figure out if that's my memory or that's because it isn't yet revealed. So confusing. I shouldn't be stuck wondering if I skipped a book by accident.

I am eating this book up! There are some "Dude, that's weird" moments. I'm so impressed with Lisa Jewell's storytelling. This is one of those books where I just want to spend all day and night binging until I'm done. I think I might be sad when I finish it lol!

I'm a minimalist of sorts, so I choose to mainly stick to ebooks and audiobooks. My goal is to only buy physical books that I know I will reread. If I realize I won't, I'll resell or donate them. But see, there are sooo many pretty books. I almost bought several pretty special editions this month. But I had to reel it back in 😅
Do you find yourself tempted to buy books based on how nice the cover is? Do you give in, or do you resist? Do you have a personal set of rules to keep yourself in check?

"Fatal fragrance of my showered skin, Silky seduction, you're whirling within, Dripping desires, into my passion you'll sink, Alluring aromas, I'm your mistress of ink."
What in the poetic writing did I just read? Alexandra Popa, I'm going to need for you to take several bows for that one. Woooot!!

As I read about the outlandish things, I keep going back to the title: "None of This Is True." I can't help but wonder what it means. Can I take anything at face value? Is Josie making it all up? Is this all a lie? What's real? 👀

No seriously like I love it when someone is like “oh yeah I read 18383929283 books this month!!” OK AND NOW I WANT TO HEAR ABOUT ALL OF THEM! I love reading and talking about books (we know omg) but it’s actually so hard to meet people who feel the same way because a lot of people are online. Obviously this isn’t bad but I feel like lots of people have lost the value of curling up on the couch with a good book. Like I guess it really is hard to meet someone who will take a nice little walk with me and talk about books while we look at flowers and plants 😔 sigh
