March was all about manga, mysteries and monster romance (yes i somehow write that without realising they all start with M 😂) for me, and honestly, I read a lot more than I was expecting to, and I had a great time.

So, that's everything that I read in March. What did everyone else read? (and do you have any recs for things I should be picking up based on what I read?)

Does anyone else listen to music (with lyrics!!) whilst reading?

Just to occupy another part of your brain. I've done since a child, my friends say I'm weird, but now when I hear these songs/albums I am "transported" back to those fictional worlds years, even decades later!

Howdy 🤠

I love sci-fi but only if it's earth-based 🍃

I feel like it's really hard to find, though. Everything is set in space and -- to be frank -- I don't care about space except when I'm reading my astrology chart. Some earthy sci-fi I enjoyed was A Pslam for The Wildbuilt and Annihilation (is that sci-fi? Eco-horror maybe?).

Well anyway, send allll your earth based Sci-fi and weirdo books this way please 😊

What's a dumb bookish decision you have made that made you feel a lil stressed?

Yesterday I started Common Goal by Rachel Reid. ... it's a 10 hour audiobook On Bookbeat I only have 9 hours and 10 minutes left of listening hours. And I can't continue my subscription after using those hours. Speeding up doesn't help either because no matter the speed, they calculate it as if you're reading on 1x

Another week begins, and somehow the TBR pile has grown again. Truly shocking. No one could’ve predicted this.

It’s like time skips from Sunday evening to Monday morning, and suddenly you’re negotiating with yourself about reading “just one more chapter” ... for several hours straight.

Let’s be real. This isn’t about staying organized anymore. Your TBR has become part of your personality.

✨ What are you currently reading? 📖 What’s up next (whether planned or not)? 🔥 And be honest: how many books made their way into your life this weekend with zero resistance?

Share your current reads, unexpected hauls, or the book currently living rent-free in your head. Let’s kick off the week a little chaotic and very well-read! 📚

Hello you lovely people😊 i have just started listening to The Magnus Archives and am having the absolute time of my life!!!! Does anyone have any book recommendations similar to this? Thank you🤗🤗🤗
