  • do you have a yearly “book budget” ?

    Today my friends and I were talking about creating general life budgets and I mentioned that I absolutely need a book budget. They thought I was crazy but there are times where I go insane at book stores or online! I rely more on my public library now (my wallet thanks me) but I think that I’ll still use a book budget when the time comes lol. What do you guys think, would you or do you have a budget for books? And would you or do you follow it?

    If any Libby users want to listen to the audiobook but don't want to support audible, I was able to access it on an app called The Palace Project. It uses the libraries like Libby!

  • Special reading goals

    Out of curiosity I just wonder if other people do this, I usually do the standard reading goal of reading a certain amount of books but I also do specific reading goals like reading this many physical books, reading this number of books that I had since I was 13, reading every fae book I have, rereading a favorite series. So do you have just one reading goal or multiple?

  • What do you think about ".25⭐ & .75⭐" ratings

    I used to rate books with ".25" and ".75" stars (especially on StoryGraph) but now in my opinion 3.25 can just be 3 stars and 3.75 can just 4 stars. And in pagebound i think its nice to not confuse myself with this bc here it's only .5! What do you think?

  • How do you all feel about DNFs?

    I'll go first. They make me feel so guilty low-key. Like I feel like I always need to chug through it no matter what. Because I always have that "It might get good. You never know" feeling in the back of my mind so I'm so scared to DNF. I feel like I would rather chug through and hate it rather than DNF and be at peace. I just need to know fully. And eventually I get to like 50% and I feel like I put too much time into it to DNF. So I just keep going.
