While looking through what books I already physically have, I'd thought of starting Magnus Chase once I'm done with Legendborn, but I told myself off because I have too many series started that I gotta finish. Since I don't know how many, I decided to count them.

There are 5:

• Heroes of Olympus, technically only have to read the last one, but I consider trials of Apollo, the addictions to the Percy Jackson series, the books about Nico and Will and all the other ones in the Greek/Roman gods' universe to be form the same series. Which means I actually have infinite amounts of books ahead.

• Legendborn, just started. For now I know that it's a trilogy. But when I started Percy Jackson I didn't think that was infinite either, so I guess anything's possible.

• Way of kings, also just started. For what I understand there are two pentalogies and only the first one is completely.

• Mistborn, two trilogies plus spin offs and prequels

• Aristotle and Dante, weirdly enough, a duology, only one book left

There are actually other 3 series I've started, but those I don't think I'm going to read more of.

All of this means that, considering the books that have been published and the ones that have been announced, I need to read around 38 books to finish all these series😬

Are y'all in my same situation, or far worse/better?

“How do you have time to read?” or “How do you have time to be on your iPad making all that stuff?”

Honestly? Yeah, staying home helps… but not as much as people think. I just stopped doom scrolling months ago. Now when I get the urge to rot on my phone, I grab a book or my iPad instead. I’ll throw on an audiobook and make digital journals, stickers, or whatever I’m hyperfixated on that week.

I can’t even lie, this question kinda annoys me because it’s almost always followed by, “You always do too much.”

Like… do I? Or did I just stop spending hours a day watching everyone else live their lives and started putting that time into my own hobbies instead? 💀
