Ciao Bookaholics!!

Here is your question of the day:

If your personality were a book genre, what would it be?

When it comes to the special read along, I’m super curious about how participants choose the one book they’ll complete out of the 4 (or 5) options?

It’s always cool to see what everyone gravitates to and how they ultimately rate it.

I usually choose the book that’s already on my tbr and if it’s not, I’ll go for a genre I know I’ll enjoy since we have only a month to read the book. Anyone else?

Hey everyone. Does anyone have a good fantasy book to read? For series nth longer than 3 books cuz uni is killing me. I don’t really care whether or not it has a romance subplot as long as the character dynamics are really good ( bonus points if it’s found family). Thank you 💗

I was just looking at my (beautiful, perfect, tiny, etc…) cat and thinking about all the different pets in all the different books I’ve read. For instance, in R. F. Kuang’s Katabasis, there’s a little cat named Archimedes, whose wellbeing I was constantly worried about. Another favorite of mine is Lardo, a fat kitty from Pie by Sarah Weeks. They aren’t the main focus of the story, but I love when they’re around.

Who are your favorite book pets? If you could have any of them in real life, who would you choose? (And yeah, fictional animals count!)

I've been having fun going through @catbitesback 's post least bookish hobbies? & trying to think of links to books/reading

Start at your non bookish / reading hobbies, & try to reach your reading in the fewest steps of association possible (either eye or ear reading) You could also comment hobbies you can't find a path for, to crowd source links!

A few of mine as examples:

Crochet → I read audiobooks & eye books as I crochet & I'm currently making cover tiles of my dog's favourite books so he can bring them to people to ask for them to be played for/read to him. (Solving the issue of no one else being able to find out which he wants when I'm not around) =1 link

Foraging → reading about foragable foods, materials & recipes. Those local to my area & also further afield. =1 link

Needle Felting → one of my first projects was making a mouse from the show Bagpuss → there are multiple accompanying books that, now I know they exist, I want to read because they look adorable. =2 links

Wild Swimming → It's Not That Radical by Mikaela Loach features wild swimming =1 link

I'm struggling to think of other examples of mine that are more than 1 or different kinds of connection, so I'll leave it there for now. Go forth & link fellow Boundlings!
