I saw a post on Instagram with a proposed 2025 update to the Myers-Briggs personality test that I thought was so funny link here! I’m most definitely an ITND. 😆

This made me wonder what a ✨book reading personality✨ would look like, so here is something I came up with:

• H/D/L/A (hold a physical book/digital ebook/listen to audio/all (or some) of the above)
• O/T (one book at a time/two+ books at a time)
• M/P (mood read/planner)
• W/N (written, annotated pages/no annotations)

lol sorry if it’s confusing!! I tried to make sure the letters weren’t doubled. Anyway, I’m an ATMN! 💁🏻‍♀️ What are you??

What hobby or hobbies do you enjoy outside of the bookish hemisphere? 🏓

Mine are walking and biking trails at nearby local parks, learning languages, film photography and bread tag collecting.

I have also been thinking of taking up a racket sport but there are plenty of good options out there, I am finding it challenging to zero in on a single one to dedicate my time to learning!

The softness, ennui, social isolation and pressures of personal fulfillment are all already speaking to me. Wow. I’m only on page 30 but I’m sure to get the other books from this author.

i’ve been going through my current read at a snail’s pace and it’s driving me crazy. i really want to read more, and i’m interested in the story, but i just can’t seem to actually get myself to read.

have you guys figured out what motivates you to read more? what worked the best in getting you out of a slump?

please help a girl out, i am desperate 😫

I dont like gore. I have read some Stephen King but horror is not a genre I gravitate towards. Everyone is raving about it but I am a bit of a scaredy cat reading the comments lool so now I am questioning whether or not should I give this a go.

My questions:

1. Does this have gore? Or really violent or graphic stuff?

2. What sort of horror is this? (No spoilers please! Just give me a sense of the kind of vibe or feelings you got reading it).

This guy's work sounds absolutely fascinating. Is anyone else going to add him to your TBR? How will you pick between his books?
