Mine is a library visit and coffee treat every other Saturday. Also, whenever I finish reading a book, I put the price of that book into a dedicated savings account.

Are there any books for this quest that you have DNF'ed? So far I've only read "Beloved" and the 2nd book that I've tried to read for this quest is "Catcher in the Rye," but it is very hard to finish. I'm kind of bored with the story and the way Holden thinks and talks just annoys me (maybe it's because he's a teenage boy and I'm a 20 year old woman). I'm a little over halfway through the book and am trying so hard to finish but I don't know if I'll make it.

So, if you have DNF'ed any books for this quest, why?

Happy Wednesday, Boundlings! 💜

I feel like society always focuses on the big wins, the all out effort, the productivity.

I want to hear your small wins, the ones that would go unnoticed as a win if you didn’t mention them.

Did you get out of bed this morning? Have the perfect amount of creamer left for you coffee? Did a stray cat meow at you and made you feel warm and fuzzy?

These are all wins! I want to hear your micro wins for the week! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Anyone here still get surprise that you earned a badge? or is it just me? I'll preface that I don't read for the badges, I see quests and readalongs as carefully curated tbrs. It's why I joined a lot of quests. that being said, some books are present in multiple quests that whenever I finished one book I get surprised everytime a notif said that I earned a badge. I know they're a thing, that I find myself laughing at me for getting surprise everytime. Anyone same?

Whenever a book that has otherwise no indication it takes place in our world uses the same months. "The fae ball is in March" like come on 😭 number them if you have to, damn

So last night I had a super vivid dream where I made a forum post on here sharing my thoughts on a popular book, and apparently my takes were so hot that I got dozens of downvotes and hundreds of comments arguing with me. I was trying to go about my day in the dream but ended up constantly on my phone replying to comments in an attempt to prove that I had reading comprehension skills 😭

This got me wondering about any funny book-related dreams that y'all have had! Whether they involve being transported to a fictional world or arguing about your favourite series on the internet, please share them with me!

Does anyone use the planning on this website? And how you use it if you do?

I’ve only just started and been using it for the read-alongs, except I really think it should have a seasonal/quarterly part as well as monthly and yearly, cause so much of this website is in quarters. Thoughts?

i have been STRUGGLING to work on my creative nonfiction synthesis essay for my final honors portfolio project. it may just be cuz i’m so close to graduating my brain isn’t willing to touch anything getting me closer, but it’s been so hard to sit and write, well, anything, even though i’ve really enjoyed tackling the very meta question of “why do i write?” usually reading poetry helps, but that wasn’t really getting me anywhere. i finally stumbled on the interstellar soundtrack today, and BOOM felt like i could write twenty pages. specifically, i’ve been loving “Cornfield Chase,” “Where We’re Going,” and “S.T.A.Y.” do any of you have music or something that helps get the juices flowing again or unsticks your brain a little bit?
