QTOD: What are your favorite books set in or invol QTOD: What are your favorite books set in or involving space?

Honestly, I’m just posting to ask for recommendations at this point. I think all my latest posts involved asking for favorite ____ books. 😅 Can you tell I’m in a bit of a reading slump?

But anyways, #TheGravityOfUs is one of my favorite space-related books. It’s not really set IN space, or all that science fiction-y but space still plays a huge part in the story. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a lighter read that’ll give you tons of reasons to smile.

QTOD: What are some of your favorite historical fi QTOD: What are some of your favorite historical fiction books?

Honestly, I don’t usually read too much historical fiction, but I am trying to read more of it. Especially since I have so many time travel books on my TBR like The Girl from Everywhere by Heidi Heilig.

What’s the last historical fiction you read?

QTOD: Do you reread books?⁣ ⁣ I don’t reread QTOD: Do you reread books?⁣
⁣
I don’t reread that often, usually only when I need a refresher for what happened earlier in a series.⁣
⁣
But there are a few books that I just cannot seem to stop rereading.⁣
⁣
I think I’ve reread The Naturals series every year since I first read them. It’s like clockwork at this point.⁣
I read (and enjoy) the series. Move onto other books. And then every summer, usually around August, I get this urge to reread them again.⁣
⁣
The Naturals is honestly one of my favorite series. It has a perfect blend of mystery and⁣
thriller, a fantastic found family, and a nice romance. I highly recommend it if you like YA thrillers and Criminal Minds!⁣

QTOD: What are some of your favorite dark fantasy QTOD: What are some of your favorite dark fantasy or romantasy books?

I’m in need of all the recs!

Bonus points, if there’s some type of mystery woven into the plot.

I started reading more dark fantasy and romantasy books this year and I think I’m in love. They’re quickly becoming some of my go-to genres when I’m in a slump.

—

I read #TheShadowsBetweenUs earlier this year, and while I enjoyed it, I was kind of disappointed. Especially by the ending. To be fair, I think my expectations may have been unreasonably high - my friend may or may not have oversold how fantastic it was when she was recommending it to me. 😅

Have you read this one? What did you think of it?

QTOD: What are you hoping to read this month?

I’m hoping to finally get to some of the books on my physical TBR that have been stuck there for a while… like this copy of What’s Left of Me by #KatZhang, for example.

I think I got it sometime around 2015, and I still haven’t read it. Yet. 😅

Are you good at knocking off books from your TBR, or do they tend to stay there for a while?

—

Let’s see how consistently I can post on insta this month…. I’ve attempted two comebacks in the last two months and failed both, so I guess we’ll see how this goes.

QOTD: Do you prefer reading physical books or eboo QOTD: Do you prefer reading physical books or ebooks?

It's been a while since I've posted a #shelfie. I'm proud and ashamed to report not much has changed from my last shelfie.

Proud, because that means I've somehow managed to not go crazy with buying books.

Ashamed, because not many changes also means I haven't managed to read that many books that I already own - the bottom shelf houses all the books I've read.
