I have a series problem.

I cannot for the life of me ever finish a series. Either I lose my hyperfixation on it or I just don't want it to end. Then I'll re-enter my hyperfixation, but I have to start over from the beginning to remember what happens.

I guess I could look up the cliff notes or an in depth review and just pick up where I left off. But then I'll never be able to read it for the first time again! Is this something that happens to y'all? Do you have any tips or tricks?

I am a certifiable mood reader 😅 However with the approach of summer next week (I’m a teacher) I would love to plan out my reading for the next couple months.

So how did you get started planning your reading? How do you account for how long you think it will take you to get through a book? How do you stay flexible?

Any help is appreciated! 😉🥰 Thanks!

I haven't listened to that many audiobooks myself but I want that to change. Do you have any recommendations for me? I read a little bit of everything except romance, romantasy and memoir/biography.

Here are audiobooks I really loved:

The first law trilogy by Steven Pacey LOTR by Andy Serkis (obviously!) And dresden files by James Marsters (his narration is the only reason I'm reading this series. It's basically smut to me 😔)

I’m debating if I should join a quest, not because I particularly want to read more of those books, but because I would automatically get a badge. I feel like that is against the spirit of a “quest,” or am I just making that up? I suppose you can just join every quest, but I like to be intentional. What are y’alls thoughts on quest-joining??

My wife and little got me sick and I’m completely brain dead but finally have time to read! I don’t have the processing power for anything too heavy, can anyone recommend me their silly books they love??

To be clear, I ADORE this type of book but I’m not sure what to call it? Like ice planet barbarians/too silly to take seriously but is a fabulous time/slightly embarrassing to admit you like but it’s your ride or die book?

Hoping this makes sense since I’m typing this with one brain cell and a dream, thank you all in advance!

With May at our doorstep, I figured I'd give another holler at our questies (quest besties lol) and re-share that we're starting Caliban's War here on the 1st!

For those unfamiliar, this series is nine (9) books. We started with Leviathan Wakes (#1) in April, and will be continuing with one per month so we complete the series by the end of 2026. We've had a solid turnout so far, but there's always more room on board! If you didn't start with us, don't hesitate to hop in at any time. If you didn't finish this past month, there's always time to catch up, so don't push yourself too hard! 💕

Caliban's War is about 600 pages or 21 hours for our ear-readers, so chart your best course and strap in. We'll see you in the forums!

Speaking of, in order to help us find each other a little better, if you make your own post, feel free to put OES🚀 in the header/title so we can easily see our buddy read friends. Make sure to follow standard Pagebound evergreen 🌲 etiquette by searching the forum and commenting on similar posts before making a new one.

It's been a blast getting to chat with y'all so far, so I'm looking forward to another installment of hunting for more female characters and great quotes from Amos. Godspeed, and good luck, spacer! 💕🚀

What are your thoughts on chapter titles? Personally, I love them, especially when they're clever and hint at what may happen in the chapter. But I feel like so many books don't have them! Perhaps they're just more common/popular with YA and middle grade books, so publishers don't want to include them in adult books.
