I mostly read non fiction but am an occasional vampire romance enjoyer.

  • Reading time

    When do you read, like at what times? Do you read for a few minutes between things you have to do? Do you have free time in your day you mostly give to reading? I personally don't have long transport rides throughout the day I can use for reading which sometimes I wish I did haha but I usually read after work/college or read during the weekends. Today I actually had a task that wasn't very thought consuming during work and listened to a short audiobook while doing it, I don't usually listen to audiobooks as I find it hard to focus but it worked for me today.

  • Which Ali Hazelwood book to pick up first?

    A friend recommended Hazelwood to me, which book of hers should I read first? Which one is the best?

    Makes a convincing case but is getting a bit repetitive.

  • Paperback or Hardcover?

    For those of y'all with home libraries, what do you prefer to buy: paperback or hardcover format? Would love if you could also share why that's your preference (e.g., is it an aesthetic consideration or based on what you like to hold or something else)!

    I really loved the world building and the characters but the male lead could have benefitted from being given more personality. The plot of the overall book was solid but the romance plotline was too predictable to be enjoyable. Had a strong start but the ending and climax tapered off the hype.

    A remarkably informative work. Probably the most important book I have read this year. Highly highly recommend.
