Are y'all able to read multiple books at once? I will often see people with quite a few books being currently read, and I have personally never been able to do that 😅 I find it so hard to not get lost switching back and forth, sometimes merging stories/details in my head or forgetting things. I also struggle to keep myself absorbed in the world when I am moving around, feels like constantly getting in and out of the shower if that makes sense LMAO

For those who do read multiple at the same time, do you find yourself struggling at all? Or is it easy for you to go back and forth? Why do you prefer reading multiple at once vs. one at a time? And then vice versa for those like me who can only read one at a time.

I am personally at all times focusing on one TV show, one video game, and one book at a time. I can switch between those through the day just fine, but once I try to switch between two of the same form of media my brain gets all mixed up.

I've made sure to make note of all the books that have been recommended so far (although my TBR is literally in the hundreds so I haven't gotten to them all yet), but I wanted to make this post to consolidate all future recommendations.

If you've requested a book before and want to add it again just to be doubly sure, go for it! If you were hesitant about making a whole post yourself, the comments section of this post is for you.

All I ask is that the detective (amateur or professional, we don't separate them here) be queer in some way - and that means any identity under that 2SLGBTQIAP+ umbrella! If you could also leave a non-spoiler reason why you are recommending it for this quest, that would be delightful!

1/4 of the books I’ve read this year have been in the game changers series and I fear that if i’m not reading game changers i’m just not as motivated to read, which is very unfortunate. I also set myself the loftiest goal of my adult reading journey so far, 52. A giant step up from my usual 12. But I’ve already read 12 books this year so I figured I’ve set a good pace. I guess i’m scared of the potentially oncoming massive slump I usually get into where I read one book until June and then cram in the last half the year.

The good news is I have multiple holds on libby I’m excited about and my two current reads are library books also so they must be read in a timely manner.

Would love to hear anyones thoughts on 2026 reading goals, slumps, and the Game Changer’s series! Also what holds or tbr books you’re excited for!

Hi! I'm currently studying acting for stage and screen at university and have got into reading books that have been turned into plays. I was wondering if there is a quest or a list on here for books that have been made into plays? Also what are your favourite books that have been made into plays? What would you recommend? 🎭

There needs to be a Shakespeare quest. I've endured too much Shakespeare in my life I deserve a badge
