  • Preferred format

    What is your preferred format to read books in? And why?

    Personally, I prefer to read on my Kobo.

    • I can take it with me everywhere I go -I can read more comfortably. Tbh, one of my favorite things about reading on my kobo is the fact that I can lay on the side in bed and read without basically getting assaulted by the book.
    • And that I can way more easily crochet while reading
    • It makes it easier to read while going on my daily walks, and a huge benefit is that it’s waterproof (Yes I can and do in fact read while crocheting and while going on long walks in the forest)

    And I have conflicting feelings about paperback and hardcover, overall I think i prefer paperbacks but it varies.

    When it comes to audiobooks, I usually listen to them when I want to read but have things to do and I enjoy listening to non-fiction books since I don’t get bored as easily which I often tend to do with non-fiction.

    Looking forward to hear your thoughts! I hope you all have a lovely day and if anyone haven’t told you lately; I am proud of you, I believe in you and here’s a hug🫂

    you know when the book is really luring a slow reader in so much when she can read from page 57 to 206 in a half day

  • A Magic Steeped in Poison (The Book of Tea, #1)
    Thoughts from 25% (page 91)

    I'm liking this so far! I agree with what some people have been saying in the forums about this being a little slow to pick up, but I think it's substantially picked up for me. For a moment there I felt a little disconnected from Ning, but when things happened at the first ceremony I felt the intrigue kick in. She's also very consistent with her goals.

    I also really like the tea magic, and how we are kind of finding out more about it as we go rather than having it all info-dumped on us in the first few chapters.
