24 Hour Reading Challenge

If you've done this challenge, did you modify it or no and just fell asleep whenever? If you did modify, what changes did you do? Going back to 9-5 cut my reading time short and I really wanna catch up on my libby holds during weekends.

Behind Closed Doors

B.A. Paris

Everyone knows a couple like Jack and Grace. He has looks and wealth; she has charm and elegance. He’s a dedicated attorney who has never lost a case; she is a flawless homemaker, a masterful gardener and cook, and dotes on her disabled younger sister. Though they are still newlyweds, they seem to have it all. You might not want to like them, but you do. You’re hopelessly charmed by the ease and comfort of their home, by the graciousness of the dinner parties they throw. You’d like to get to know Grace better. But it’s difficult, because you realize Jack and Grace are inseparable. Some might call this true love. Others might wonder why Grace never answers the phone. Or why she can never meet for coffee, even though she doesn’t work. How she can cook such elaborate meals but remain so slim. Or why she never seems to take anything with her when she leaves the house, not even a pen. Or why there are such high-security metal shutters on all the downstairs windows. Some might wonder what’s really going on once the dinner party is over, and the front door has closed.

A Pile of Currently Readings

I'm curious if anyone else has this problem, but I often find myself reading five or more books at once. Between library, audio, digital, and physical books, my currently reading list can get quite large. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by it, but the thought of only sticking with one book makes me worried about getting bored. Does anyone else feel this way? How do you combat it?

Books you started but never returned to

Are there any books you started but never really got the chance to finish? Mine is The Pivot Year by Brianna Wiest. It's not that I couldn’t get back to it. I just realized that books structured with a page for each day aren't really for me. I still plan to finish it though.

📚 How Many Hours a Day Do You Read? ☀️

I try to read for about 2 hours a day — one hour for each of the two books I’m currently reading. 🕐📖🕐📖 Lately though, I haven’t been reading at all because I’m in the middle of moving to a new place and things are hectic! 📦🏠 But I have high hopes for the rest of the summer — I’ll be by the sea 🌊 and I’m pretty sure I’ll be spending every quiet afternoon with a book (or two!) in hand. 😎🧃📚 How about you? How many hours a day do you usually read — and do you set a goal or just go with the flow? 💬✨

Enjoyment: 5.0Quality: 5.0Characters: 5.0Plot: 5.0

I usually don't enjoy the experience of watching the movie first and then reading the book, especially when I really liked the movie (not the book's fault, it's just a me thing). But not with this one. This might be my favourite out of the three.

Books vs Video Games vs TV Series/Film

A curious question for the bookworms who are also gamers, TV enthusiasts or both! Where books have been adapted to or heavily influenced a video game or a TV series or film, what order do you prefer to consume them in? (Or even the other way, where series/film/games have influenced someone to write a book in that universe!)

Really eerie how this depicts what’s happening today. And some people still say reading isn’t political.

More Books Adapted to TV

Hello! Just realized that the You TV series is based on books by Caroline Kepnes! There wasn't already a thread or place for making suggestions so I figured I'd start one :)
