so... do you guys have a hard limit on how many books you'll read at once? what is that number determined by? i somehow keep reading like 6 books at the same time and now i'm curious what other people do and how y'all manage!

i tend to just... borrow 1 book that has like no one waiting for it, 2 books of different genres that i can pause at any time and not feel pressure about it, and then the rest on top of that are whatever holds become available and i want to read them next. especially if it's a book that has been on hold for a looong time and i've been waiting quite a few weeks, i'll just go ahead and borrow it and collect my loans like a little gremlin.

...i also want to note that someone had mentioned in a previous discussion (i forgot who - if they show up or i remember, i'll add their user here!) that once you borrow a book on libby and make sure you have the book downloaded, you can go on airplane mode, return the book on a different device, and keep the book for however long you need to read it. i only just now did it because i amassed too many delicious books this time around, whereas the last time this happened i just devoured them fast enough before my loan deadlines. so thank you to whoever that was!

Honestly haven't used Goodreads since the day I saw an IG post about this site. I've already transferred everything over so debating if I want to delete my Goodreads account. I don't have a Kindle or anything so it's not like I connected it to that. Maybe I'll just put a link to this account in Goodreads and leave it at that for now. Idk. I don't think I'll ever go back. I love everything about this site.

I write in my books constantly, and I think everyone should. It is so fun to reread a book and see what you from X number of years ago thought reading the same passage. Why do you annotate?

What are your most stunning books? What's your favorite cover art? I love My Body Unspooling - it's bright and colorful with artwork that is intriguing and I have it placed on an art display when I'm not reading it. I've been collecting more little display stands from thrift stores and I'm curious what other books are display-destined. Edit to add: pretty books that are also good! My Body Unspooling is an amazing book with gorgeous and maybe a little unsettling art. It's a fast read that sits with you.

I don't know why I thought this book would be about/from the perspective of a woman, I was kind of thrown when I read "he" 🙈

And why? Ridiculous answers are also encouraged.
