What subject is your roman empire? I was browsing the history book section in the bookstore and I took a bunch of pictures of books and topics that interest me.

Victorian England Women in Early Academia History of the Book Ancient Egypt History of the Dictionary History of Cod Rocks and minerals Pompeii and pyroclastic flow Deep ocean creatures The London underground

So, apparently I have many Roman empires? What's yours?

Does this show my age?😭 I just caught up with the word yoink for marking a book TBR😭😭 Help, i have FOMO😭

Just to be clear, I'm not judging anyone who reads them. Everyone has their own taste and that's wonderful.

For me it would be: Red rising, Persépolis and Throne of glass🤔

How do y’all pick what number your reading challenge goal is? 📚

Personally, I always base it off of the number of the year (for example my 2026 goal is to read 26 books) because it feels satisfying. However, in the past few years it hasn’t felt very “goal-like” since I tend to reach it before halfway through the year 🤷‍♀️

What the hell is with these men tattooing women without their consent!?

I’ve lost count of the amount of books with randomly appearing tattoos in them now, usually associated with the fated mates trope and I’m like !?!?!?!? How are you not mad about this?

QUESTION OF THE DAY!! 🐝🐞🪲 If the book you were reading right now came to life, and you were the main character, how screwed would the world be? What would you change?

Or, what is one female/male lead you would switch places with?

I heard so many good things about the audiobook and tried to listen to it, but unfortunately my squirrel brain just couldn't handle it (to be fair, audiobooks never worked on me before). maybe I will try listening and reading with my eyeballs simultaneously. I really, really want experience the warmth and coziness like everyone else 😔

A bit of an odd question. Why are you reading your current read/s? Something different? Part of a series? Fave author?

My current book is Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross. The universe has been telling me to tell it to read it for ages, appearing on feeds and I've seen the physical copy more than once. It was a quest tgat finally convinced me.

Do you guys feel like you have an equilibrium when it comes to the number of books you’re reading? I just thought about this, since I’ve been trying really hard to cut down (a bit) on the number of books I’m reading at the same time, but whatever I do I always end up reading 5 books at once. I feel this might be my personal state of equilibrium which provides my brain with enough different topics to choose from and maybe trying to cut down on that number is wasted effort…? How does it work for you? I’m curious to hear your thoughts™️

I know the story is not supposed to be realistic but I just can't get over the fact of animals doing things. The way my brain breaks thinking how they use tools or milk cows. I know how pig feet look, I grew up on a farm. THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO THAT.

I understand what type of story it is but my mind needs to imagine all intricacies of how it's done lol

the trials of apollo series is so underrated but SO FUNNY
