Maybe it is just me, but I feel like I am getting overwhelmed by all the readalongs, quests, lists, series and tbr’s. Part of me wants to meet the goals and get badges as it pushes me out my comfort zone of genres. But I also have so many other books I am interested in reading that I don’t seem to get to… I find myself slowly losing interest in reading overall, and opting for other activities. Maybe I am in my first little slump, and I’ll find my season back to reading again. Also maybe I should just lower my expectations and forget all the challenges and readalongs. How do you guys tackle this?

Do you have a personal criteria in DNFing a book? I try to get through 25% of a book or 3-5 chapters, whichever comes first, before I decide, "okay this one's not it for me". But I let myself sit in the feeling for about a week or two before I officially call it quits and maybe return the library book early. I also dont usually consider myself reading the book on a book tracker until I feel like I'm considerably hooked in it so sometimes I consider them unread rather than DNF.

Ahh booktok, so controversial. But we love it anyways hehe. Because I thrive on highly opinionated discussion, please don't hold back! (BUT, because we are all kind, educated readers, let's not be hateful towards people who have different opinions than we do ;) That being said, I'll go first: *inhales slowly* Fourth Wing is meh and Iron flame was almost impossible to get through... the hype, I just don't understand it!! Please tell me I'm not the only one.

Do you guys own many books? I never did growing up because I went to the library. Even now,I only buy books that I have read and loved. But seeing people on social media's own walls full of books has made me curious about other people's habits. So, I would love to hear about your habits. Do you buy books right away? Do you read all of the ones you buy? How many do you own/do you get rid of many?
