I just re read ignite me (shatter me series) and I just wondered if I should count that in my 2026 reading challenge???? I mean I have like physically read a book so it feels wrong not no log it. But I love to re read books and can read the same book like 10 times a year. Which makes it weird because let’s say I read 100 books last year (I didn’t) and 10 of them were rereads, then I have physically read 100 books, but only 90 different ones. And let’s take ignite me for example. I read it last year for the first time, which means it’s a new book for this year, but I have still read it before, so like idk.

I suck at explaining but I hope someone get what I mean. I’m just so confused so I wanted to know how you guys do?

Hii everyone! We're 20 days into the month and I was wondering how's everyone reading going?

1. Have we read? If not that's okay!
2. If you have, are there any books you loved yet?
3. If you do a tbr list, have you been following it or have you gone off the rails?
4. Done any buddy reads?
5. I know a lot of ppl had some anticipated reads for this month, if you had one did you read it yet? Did you like it?

I've finished 10 books so far and have had a pretty good reading journey this month! Five of the ten I've read have been amazing reads for me, as I gave them five stars! Those five are also some of my most anticipated reads and I'm so glad I loved them.

I did make a January tbr list, a list of 12 books and I have proudly finished 2 ! Lol not a lot, but this is huge for me because I'm very bad at following lists. Very much a mood reader! Also, I did have one buddy read. Well, an attempt at a buddy read, wasn't in the mood for the book so I did pause it but I do have more buddy reads planned and I'm so excited!

Let me know how yours have gone so far!

So… since we’ve opened that can of worms about age on the forum recently 😆

Hi, I’m 40 and still love fantasy! Even though I loved ACOTAR, One Dark Window, Phantasma etc., it seems like the FMC is always (very) young.

I’m craving a little age-appropriate variety: give me a protagonist who’s a bit older, wiser, maybe even in their thirties. You know, someone who’s been around the block a few times but still kicks ass (or breaks hearts). 😇

What gems do you recommend?⬇️⬇️

𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘: a collective thanks for all your recommendations. 🫶 Apparently I was living under a stone, because there is so much to choose from. 😄 I will check them all and make my own personal list. Feel free to add titles that your missing.

Again: thanks to all! 💝💐
