I was just wondering how long yall have been reading? And what got you into it? I can't remember fully but I'm pretty sure I've been reading all my life. It's just been one of those comforts in my life that's always been there <33

I can't actually binge read anything. It's so frustrating when it comes to reading goals and suspenseful stories, but I genuinely can't. I reach a point where I get so tired, so 'full' with the story I've found that I need time to soak it in bfr being immensely excited to continue. Thats why I read multiple books at the same time, I need a break from most stories to fully enjoy them Does anyone else feel like this? Ik so many ppl like to binge do things, but I've genuinely never been able to resonate with the 'I couldn't put it down' or 'I finished it in a day' statements. If I try to I get book burnout. Today I read about 80 pages, and when I finished I was so overwhelmed 😭 it's not book specific either, it happens with every single one, just at different paces

A heavy thunderstorm has rolled in and I love reading when it's storming or pouring rain. 🌩️🕯️ It made me wonder, what are y'all's favorite environments/weathers/settings to read in? As specific or as general as you want! Mine is below 🥰 All time favorite: heavy rain, nowhere to be/no errands left to run, clean & soft pajamas, mug of something warm, near a window or on a covered or closed porch so I can admire the storm. Bonus points for a nearby napping pet, a good candle burning, or a midday storm that leaves enough light for you to see out into the rain 🌧️

Might start some controversy 😂 (but seriously everyone play nice) but what's that one character you cannot STAND and why. Bonus points if it's a popular one that most other people seem to love 👀

what’s been the best book you’ve read this year, so far? i love it when a book sneaks up on you and unexpectedly - any surprises? my current top two are blood over bright haven (ml wang) and masters of death (olivie blake). when starting blood over bright haven i was pretty confident i would like it, but masters of death was a complete surprise!

So, I took myself for lunch at a local Japanese restaurant, and picked my latest paperback book out of my purse to read between fumbling for sushi rolls. Reading in public is something I have always done, and I've never understood the folks who find it weird. I read a quarter of Going Off Script by Jen Wilde while waiting for a drag show to start once. Anyway, I'm nearing the end of my platter when the single person at the table next to mine finishes paying their bill. Mind you, we'd not made eye contact nor talked as of yet. The closest thing was them quietly saying "excuse me" which was either because they made another sound I didn't hear, or they were talking to a piece of food that wouldn't get in their spoon. As they stand to leave, and they turn to me and say: "Well, it was nice having lunch with you-" Um, what? "-but my book is a little different than yours." As they said this, they tucked a strand of hair behind their far ear, showing a bluetooth headset. Before I could ask what book they were listening to, they'd already scurried out the door. My first guess: they were listening to smut, and that "excuse me" was directly at something in the book, because I definitely talk to my audiobooks (and tv shows sometimes, when a character is being particularly bad) but it really could have been anything. What are your "reading in public" stories?
