I live in Wales and I've just seen there's going to be a Fantasy Book Festival near me next year in Lanfyllin!! Called Cmyru Chronicles 📚 🤩 Is anyone else in Wales? Or are you lucky enough to live somewhere that has lots of amazing festivals?

I want to know what bookish names you’ve given your pets! Bonus points if you attach a photo of said pet 😁
My partner and I do pop culture related names for all of our pets, and we have many, but I realized recently that none of them are named after book characters! I’m a little embarrassed about it 😂

I’m thinking about resurrecting some DNFs ⚰️ but changing the format. For example I DNF’d the Song of Achilles audiobook 2 hrs in but am thinking to try the ebook instead now. Some of the books on my list are just so loved I wonder if they are worth another go. Has this method worked for anyone? 📚

How do you decide when to stop reading for that day or particular sitting? Do you set a reading goal for the day? Do you do this by setting a timer, establishing a number of pages to get through, determining an appropriate stopping point in the book based on chapter/part lengths?
Do you go purely based off of vibes and when you can no longer continue you get up and walk away?
My husband and I were debating this the other day. Personal Context: If I sit down to read, I will stick my bookmark ahead in the book as a benchmark for myself. If I get to that point and still feel like continuing to read for that sitting, I’ll move it ahead once more and continue on. If I can’t make it to that predetermined pause point, I may readjust based on time and energy. My one rule though, I refuse to stop in the middle of a chapter if at all possible. My husband on the other hand will simply close the book (sometimes with a bookmark of some sort in place, other times not which is a whole separate debate!) and go onto the next thing whenever he feels necessary. I know of other people who set a reading goal for themselves in terms of number of minutes reading or pages read, regardless of where that would land them in the book. When they hit that benchmark, unless they’re really engrossed in the book, they’ll be done for that sitting/day.
Curious to know how others feel about this, one way or another!
