I’ve been super excited to read this as I’ve heard lots of praise for this series! At the same time maybe my expectations are too high but oh well it can’t be helped 😅 I do like the tone El has so far though! I did hear about that and was a bit worried I wouldn’t vibe with it but so far so good 🥸

I'm attempting the a-z challenge this year (read a book for every letter in the alphabet) and was wondering if others are doing the same? Thought this could be like a little check-in! 😄

If you're attempting the challenge, how are you doing? Which ones do you still need and what books are you planning on reading? Maybe we can help each other find some recs for missing letters!

I'm doing pretty well, I only need 6 more letters so it definitely seems doable ☺️

M: I'm thinking either The Mitford Murders by Jessica Fellowes (on my physical tbr) or Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie Q: maybe The Queen's Gambit by Walter Tevis? Anyone have a good Q rec? U: Either The Unadulterated Cat by Terry Pratchett or Uprooted by Naomi Novik?? V: Vampires of El Norte by Isabel Cañas for the Dia de los Muertos readalong! X: Xaipe poems by E.E. Cummings or Xingu short story by Edith Wharton (shout-out to @hannah for making an A through Z list!!) Z: NO CLUE!! HELP!!

Do you guys get where people are in the story with just the percentage or the chapter ? I am always lost and make only a ballpark estimate so I am afraid to spoil anything.

The thoughts from whatever percentage with a message like "seriously?!?", I have no clue what it is about exactly, I can have doubts but I would prefer having some more information...

What do you guys think ?

Edit: I was mainly talking about books I have already read and on which I don't want to spoil anything, so I avoid interacting with thoughts in general

What book(s) (stand-alone or series) had you so in love (with the characters/world/etc.) that you were heartbroken when it was over?

Right now, I can only think of The Daevabad Trilogy by S.A. Chakraborty. I know I have more that I can’t think of right now but I both love and hate books like these make me feel.

I absolutely LOVE doing this - it lets me see all kinds of things people have read, are reading and plan on reading. I get off work in an hour and I finished the book I was reading on shift tonight.

So. What I want to know is everyone's Last - Now - Next! I started another one right after, but I am a mood reader and have no idea what I am going to read next.. so I need ideas from you all with your answers!

Last - Fixiation of the Mind by Kira Stanely Now - Black Ties & White Lies by Kat Singleton Next - IDK lol. Maybe the 2nd in the series for my NOW book.
