So, the other day I was looking into the Made for the Movies quest and I realized something, at least three books I’ve already read were not marked as finished 🤔 but in my library they were marked, they were just different editions. I guess my question is, why are the books editions separated? Why aren’t they all together? Like a group 🤔 I’m not complaining here, I was just wondering, if they are the same book, why weren’t that marked as finished? Has this happened to someone else?

How has everyone's June been? Read anything good? My favorite so far is my reread of the Outsiders since it has been my favorite book since 8th grade when I had to read it!

I have two tbr jars, one with books I'm most excited for and another with all the other books on my tbr. I alternate picking a book from each and that'll make up the queue of books I will read. I usually pick about 10 at a time. I find that doing it this way has helped me find some books I really enjoyed that I might not have picked over others! How do you pick your next reads? Anyone else have a tbr jar?

If you do it, HOW? I've tried my kobo but it was difficult, and I have a hard time focusing on my audiobook on the treadmill. I started making this post to ask for advice, but even as I'm typing I'm wondering if this just isn't for me. 😅

I hate to say this, but I'm kind of bored with the book. The pace is slower than I am accustomed to and I think that's taking a toll on my interest. The blurb made the book sound more mystery oriented than anything, but I'm not finding that to be the actual case. I'm not going to DNF the book because I want the summer reading badge, but I'll be honest and say that this book is not what I was expecting and I'm kind of disappointed. It's well-written and I can see how others would enjoy it, but it's just not for me.

I don't know, but the vibe of this book feels so different from the trilogy. I'm not sure if it's the narrator or something else, but it feels really modern. Well, "modern" isn't the word I'd use, but something along those lines. I haven't watched the movie, but I'm trying to recall the spoilers I saw to help me visualize.

I'm currently reading three books at once (one is for a book club), and I was wondering: Do you like reading just one book at a time or you'd rather pick more titles and read them simultaneously?

I'm curious if anyone else has this problem, but I often find myself reading five or more books at once. Between library, audio, digital, and physical books, my currently reading list can get quite large. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by it, but the thought of only sticking with one book makes me worried about getting bored. Does anyone else feel this way? How do you combat it?

i was wondering why i’m having such a hard time getting through this even though i love the hunger games universes. and it’s because it’s not told from the perspective of the tribute. which makes me feel so gross, lmao

I try to read for about 2 hours a day — one hour for each of the two books I’m currently reading. 🕐📖🕐📖 Lately though, I haven’t been reading at all because I’m in the middle of moving to a new place and things are hectic! 📦🏠 But I have high hopes for the rest of the summer — I’ll be by the sea 🌊 and I’m pretty sure I’ll be spending every quiet afternoon with a book (or two!) in hand. 😎🧃📚 How about you? How many hours a day do you usually read — and do you set a goal or just go with the flow? 💬✨

Reading the series for the first time and I never really had much interest in this one, but my hold for Sunrise on the Reaping isn’t ready yet so I decided to try this one. Not really into it but it’s only early still I guess.

Are y'all updating your ratings and/or reviews after doing a reread? Why or why not? Also: I swear there was already a discussion on here about this so I'm sorry to be redundant, but try as I might I just can't find it ☹️ if y'all have a link I'd love to look at the answers there too!

I jumped from 90th in line to 2nd in line for this book on Libby in the span of a day and I cannot wait! I'm to a point where I don’t even want to start anything else because I feel like my hold will come in as soon as I do and I'll drop whatever else I'm reading to get to this!

Hey, I'm curious - what locations, or under what situations, are your favourite to read? As per my previous post about favourite's being hard, I don't mean you need to pick one. For example, I really love curling up in a chair I have in our bedroom when I want to read with no sound, or taking myself to a pub if I am feeling like I want human connection without having to talk to anyone other than my server. Obviously this does mean I get interrupted every once in a while, but I like the ambience (and the fact that food and drink are brought to me so I have more time to focus on reading). Oh, and I love a long walk with an audiobook. Depending on what I am listening to, I might start talking back to whatever is going on out loud (but only a line here or there, not a constant monologue). Thoughts?

Okay, so I know we all use things that aren't meant to be bookmarks as bookmarks. I used recipts, cards, stickers or really anything I can get my hands on but I've been using a leaf lately . . . A 'Wonder Of The World' leaf or a 'Kalanchoe pinnata' leaf to be exact (image belowfor anyone who doesn't know).
I forgot that this is a plant that can survive in nearly any environment and it is now sprouting new plants while inside my book 😭
I've been reading on my tab for a few weeks now and forgot that I picked the leaf as an impromtu bookmark while I was reading a while ago . . .
What was the weirdest bookmark you used? (Definitely not asking for inspiration for my next bookmark 👀 )
