    Re-reading (this time as an audiobook) to see if the hate I see everywhere is warranted because it was my first spicy romance and had nothing to compare it to at the time lol

    What does "mood reader" mean to you?

    What the title says. I've always seen people online refer to themselves as "mood readers" but for some reason never looked it up until now. The definitions I'm seeing online seem to describe it as pretty much "reading whatever you feel like," but how is that different than regular reading? Does everyone not do that? What is the alternative? If you call yourself a mood readers (or if you purposefully don't), how do you define what that is? Does it have to do with caring more about vibes and atmosphere than tropes and plot? Thought I'd ask since I've seen some people put it in their bios here!

    Edit to add: Okay, you've all convinced me I'm a mood reader! The general consensus I'm seeing in the comments is that a mood reader is someone who doesn't follow a strict TBR list and just reads whatever sounds good at the time rather than making a plan and sticking to it. I always have at least 10-15 books going at once MINIMUM because my TBR is literally where books go to die—if a book sounds good, I start it immediately no matter what I'm already reading. I don't know the last time outside of a series I planned out what books I was going to read next and stuck to it in any meaningful way 🫣

    Helppp I've hit a slump with this book!!! I reached 70ish % in like 3 days and then haven't picked it up since. I am listening to the graphic audio while I read along and I thought this would've prevented a slump but tbh Violet bringing up the same fight over and over is getting kind of old and I feel for my boy Xaden. Like just let yourself be happy already!!!

    Anyway, without any spoilers, can someone please give me the strength I need to finish this book before I return it in 4 days to the library??? Something like a small tease or reward in the book that I won't get unless I finish

    And is Onyx Storm more of this back and forth? I think I may need a break from these two if it is 😩 Anyway, thanks in advance book friends 🐉💚

    Saved me from boredom while recovering from a concussion so thank you Ali Hazelwood. This was much more solid than I expected it to be, and I'm glad I decided to give it a go despite originally being a bit icked out by the whole werewolf idea. It was handled incredibly well and it made it feel natural. I really liked Misery as a character, and honestly loved the name choice too. Was so unique. There were only a couple things holding it back from 5 stars for me, and that was mostly Lowe being such a dumbass about pushing Misery away after saying he would 'take anything from her' that he could... like ok? Didn't make complete sense to me. But overall this was a really fun time. Can't wait to listen to Mate now.
