The Abbess pronouncing Traum as Twaum in the audiobook is reminding me of the “mawwaige” guy.

An introduction to the Thriller genre, these books are part of the cultural zeitgeist or the 'canon' that many would recognize. Look for more niche titles in later Starter Pack volumes.

Dramatic battles, tense political intrigue, unique world building...and is that maybe some romance I'm sensing? These books are not Romantasy but focus primarily on the SFF elements. Romance is a subplot and may not appear until later in the series, but when it does, you won't be disappointed.

Utterly enchanting. And a job well done to Alexis Bledel for being an amazing narrator for the 50th anniversary edition.

What are your favorite “good for her” books? We love supporting women’s rights, but also their wrongs, don’t we? Let’s go, girls! ;)

Could you stop yourself from adding more books to your TBR for a specified amount of time? Maybe I could go a month without, if I avoid reading reviews? Or limit myself to adding one book a month and be really picky about it? I just have this existential dread about not being able to finish my list before I die and I feel like the only way I'd be able to get through it is to stop adding! 🥲

Let’s talk about reading habits! How do you make reading a regular part of your day? Do you have little rituals that get you in the mood to read, or tricks to stay motivated even when life gets busy? For me personally, I really enjoy reading once I get started – I can get completely absorbed and read for hours. But honestly, the hardest part is actually starting instead of scrolling on my phone. 😅 I’ve been trying to build a habit of reading every evening, maybe with a cosy cup of tea or hot chocolate, but I’m not sure how to make it stick. I often end up scrolling on my phone instead ... I’d love to hear from you: how do you stay motivated? Do you have special routines or rituals that help you read regularly? Any tips or advice would be so appreciated!

Does anyone else feel like they're a way harsher critic when listening to audiobooks vs reading physical copies? Not that I'm picking them apart more, but that I know I would've been way more invested if I'd been reading instead of listening. There are some audiobooks that grab me and I don't want to do anything else, but I feel like those are rare. I just get bummed out sometimes when I finish listening to a book I'd been looking forward to for so long and I'm just like "meh," when I know I probably would've liked the book so much more if I'd been reading a physical copy. This just happened to me with The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst. Alllll the 5 star reviews and I felt like it was cute but I never fell head over heels with it. My sub-par listening skills are probably to blame..I'm having audiobook regret and wondering if that's a thing other people experience too.😬

I’m out here reading this for the first time at 30 years old. Is this going to make me cry?

I liked the last two stories, but I really think I need to stop trying to read short story collections. It’s not my jam.
