I’m interested to know everyone’s rating system! Like for me, a 3 star read isn’t a bad book, it’s actually a pretty decent book, just something that i didn’t obsess over and probably will forget about. Drop your rating systems 🧡

What are your reading goals for the upcoming year?
I'm aiming to finish 50 books next year, which is 5 books more than this year (I'm 2 books away from reaching it!). I'm planning to do this every year, incrementing 5 books but only if I finished the last one.
As for quests, these are the ones I really wanna get badges in:
- Games & Trials badge, I already have bronze but I want to get silver or gold
- Rick Riordanverse badge, same for this one
- Asian-inspired Fantasy badge, I really want to diversify my reading! I'm aiming for a bronze badge.
- Fantasy and Sci-Fi with a Side of Romance badge, I'm aiming for bronze
- Cozy Fantasy badge, I really wanna try this type of fantasy! Also bronze
Of course, I know I probably won't get ALL of those badges, but a girl can dream 😀 As for readalongs, I REALLY want to to participate in all of the seasonal readalongs! And hopefully all the special ones too!
As for external challenges, I haven't found any that I'm interested in, but I'm still looking. Any suggestions would be good! I'm also thinking of doing the Wheel of Books challenge, but that's for when I sort my TBR and figure out what I want since I'm a HUGE mood reader.

Your house is on fire! You only have time/space to save one physical book from your collection - What book are you saving? (optional bonus question - why that book?)

Hello everyone! I’m looking to explore Japanese literature and would love some recommendations. Could you please suggest any books by Japanese authors that you think are really good or memorable? I’m open to any genre and would appreciate your favorites!

She’s just trying to keep her sister safe, and suddenly she’s in a televised murder Olympics sponsored by fascism.

Katniss is just trying to survive her PTSD era, and the Capitol responds by… throwing her back into an even deadlier arena.

Imagine Sherlock Holmes, but he’s a monk, it’s 1327, and everyone is starving, paranoid, and arguing about theology like their lives depend on it (because they kinda do).

It’s basically “an English pilot accidentally speedruns Japanese politics”.

Half the cast is traumatized, everyone’s either running from something or dying for something, and the French Revolution is basically the world’s angriest background noise.

Basically the story of an over-caffeinated, drama-loving orphan who talks like she swallowed a poetry book.

Violet’s whole journey feels like being thrown into a kaleidoscope of beauty, pain, and “oh no, not THIS again.”

You fall in love with Rudy, get attached to everyone in that damn street, and then the book reminds you that war doesn’t care about your feelings.

Soooo, I’m trying to fix my chaotic reading habits for next year, and I made this super chill reading plan:
• Aim for 4 books a month (realistic… I think?) • Mix 70% fiction with 30% non-fiction so I don’t get bored halfway through • Finally finish the stack of unread books that have been haunting me since 2020 • Try 3 genres I barely touch (maybe queer, horror, and a memoir) • Also kinda hoping to join a buddy read if anyone’s up for it!
How about you guys? Anyone already plotting their 2026 reads?
