How do y'all find the self control to stay away from tik tok and actually read your books. I feel like every time I sit down it's just easier to sit and doom scroll than it is to read and I want to get away from that. I'd delete tik tok but it's so hard since I get so many good book recommendations there.

I have always had a love-hate relationship with the classics but as an adult, I’ve been really enjoying revisiting some of my high school favorites as well as ones I didn’t get the chance to read in school. That said, I’m planning my bucket list for next year’s reads!! Are there any classics that you think are an absolute must-read?

Some of my favorites are:

The Count of Monte Cristo The Picture of Dorian Gray A Tale of Two Cities The Sound and the Fury Orlando Literally anything by Toni Morrison (I took a Morrison seminar in college where we had to read her whole literary canon which really made me love and appreciate her so much more!!!) Cat’s Cradle

A cracked spine 💃 B no visible lines 🙅‍♀️

A slow book with a great payoff 📝 B not a wasted page 🤩

I'm fascinated by astrology and the concept of the "Big Three" in a chart. I started thinking about it in the context of my reading experience and was curious what others would say!

☀Sun: the genre the world associates with you, usually your most read or most talked about in your reading lifespan ☽Moon: the genre you might not broadcast to the world, and people may be surprised you read, but find yourself drawn to or curious about ↑Rising: the genre you resonate with the most, or the genre your reading taste is evolving towards

I prefer to read in the morning as the first thing after waking up, abut very curious to hear people’s answers!

hello all,

as the year ends I want to know what were some of your worst reads and why? we often discuss our best and next reads but I want to know how bad a book was that you dnfed it and/or skipped the whole author completely!

it’s so interesting to see how people rate/ comprehend books differently.

I’m in med school so I don’t always find a lot of time to read throughout the school year BUT I finally have 3 weeks of break. The amount of books I have on my list to read over break is ridiculous and not likely so I fear I need to prioritize my reading. How could I categorize or order them so that I get to the best ones? Any tips are appreciated!!! (When I say it’s unlikely I mean I have like 50 books on this list😬)
