QTOD: What was your favorite read this month?⁣ ⁣ Mine was 𝘍𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘥 by Alexa Martin. I stumbled upon while browsing through my library's ebook catalog and it somehow managed to get me out of my reading slump for a while. It was so good it started a hot streak in which I basically read a whole book a day.⁣ ⁣ And then that streak ended and I'm left wondering where it all went wrong. Five books in five days is a lot but that's also the ONLY reading I did this month. 🤷🏻‍♀️⁣ ⁣ Are you a consistent reader?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ Books read this month:⁣ ⁣ 📚 𝘍𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘥 by Alexa Martin (4.5 stars)⁣ 📚 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘦𝘥 by Alexa Martin (3.5 stars)⁣ 📚 𝘉𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘻𝘦𝘥 by Alexa Martin (3.5 stars)⁣ 📚 𝘚𝘯𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘥 by Alexa Martin (3.5 stars)⁣ 📚 𝘎𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥 by J.M.

It's been almost three weeks since I read anything. 😭 I've just been alternating between either not being in the mood to read, or not having any energy to.⁣ ⁣ Needless to say, I doubt I'll finish reading my tbr for the month. Not that I even started reading any books off it in the first place. 😅⁣ ⁣ Have you read any good books lately?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ I just started planning my posts for December today and I cannot believe the year is almost over.

QTOD: What's your favorite reading format?⁣ ⁣ QTOD: What's your favorite reading format?⁣ ⁣ I guess mine is an ebook? Well, at least for this year. I've always been a big ebook reader (they're just so convenient), but I don't think I've read as many ebooks in a year as I did so far in 2020.⁣ ⁣ I guess that was bound to happen when I started using my library's ebook catalogs more often in an effort to procrastinate reading through my physical tbr. 😅⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ BTW, #TheNaturals is one of my favorite books. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a good thriller/mystery series with a fun found family.⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #allthebooksnov20 [unpopular opinions]⁣ ⁣ #tumblesoverbooks [parshendi: go-to reading format]⁣ ⁣ #bookreadhappyhour [play it again, Sam.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #JenniferLynnBarnes #readingtime #booknerd #instareads #bookwormlife #booksofinsta #readinggoals #whatiread #readingtogether #bookreaders #bookdragons #cozyreads #lightread

QTOD: What's your favorite reading spot?⁣ ⁣ Mi QTOD: What's your favorite reading spot?⁣ ⁣ Mine is my bed. It's really hard to find a more comfortable spot. Especially since it's so cozy and warm and I'm starting to freeze my butt off (winter is definitely coming). And I can read in a bunch of different positions on it - sitting, lying on my back, and of course, lying on my front.⁣ ⁣ Somehow, whenever I read in bed, I always end up reading like this. I start off sitting and some four hours later I'm ready to face plant into my book and fall asleep. I guess that's what happens when you decide to start a good book at 10PM when your bedtime is 11PM. 😅⁣ ⁣ Do you change positions while you read?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #StarsInTheDark [fading away]⁣ ⁣ #ampersandnov20 [R is for... relaxing]⁣ ⁣ #cozyascanbee [pillows]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #ThreeDarkCrowns #KendareBlake #bookgram #bookaholic #booksofig #constantreader #yafiction #readreadread #bookrecommendation #justread #bookwormsunite #readerproblems #bookaesthetics #hyggebookstyle
QTOD: What's your favorite rom-com or feel good re QTOD: What's your favorite rom-com or feel good read?⁣ ⁣ #TheUnhoneymooners is one of mine. It's just so fun and cute - basically everything I want from a rom-com. Plus it's always nice to do some virtual traveling since that's not really possible these days.⁣ ⁣ I've definitely been reading more rom-coms these last two years or so. I'm kind of done with high school romances. They're nice and all, and I still read them occasionally, but most of them feel so... naive these days. 🤷🏻‍♀️⁣ ⁣ What's a new genre you've been reading more lately?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #booksofnov20 [self-care]⁣ ⁣ #bookreadhappyhour [five word review for your last five-star read]⁣ ⁣ #rfabnov20 [5 star read]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #ChristinaLauren #bookobsessed #bookstagrammer #bookishlove #bookpics #readingtime📖 #bibliophilelife #bookaesthetic #bookishphotography #readergram #loveofbooks
QTOD: Do you reread books?⁣ ⁣ I reread occasio QTOD: Do you reread books?⁣ ⁣ I reread occasionally. To be honest, most of the time I "reread" books, I mainly just skim through them and read my favorite parts. Sometimes I just don't feel like reading all the background and worldbuilding, especially if I'm already familiar with it. 💁🏻‍♀️⁣ ⁣ Plus, I also tend to feel a little guilty for dedicating so much time to rereading a book when I could be reading a new story. Or when it makes more sense to reread another book.⁣ ⁣ I reread rom coms more often, neglecting all the series I should reread so I can finally finish them. But sometimes rereading books is scary - what if I don't enjoy them as much the second time around?⁣ ⁣ Take #TheDarkestMinds for example. It is probably my absolute favorite series from when I was in high school but I haven't really read it since and now I'm scared to. But I should reread it soon because I still have to read THE DARKEST LEGACY despite owning it for the last two years. 🤦🏻‍♀️⁣ ⁣ Are there any books/series that you're scared to reread?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #allthebooksnov20 [hope to finish this year]⁣ ⁣ #invokingbooks [tolerance / diverse reads]⁣ ⁣ #rfabnov20 [want to read next]⁣ ⁣ #StarsInTheDark [take it all tonight]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #AlexandraBracken #yalit #booklove #vscobooks #bookgirl #bookreviewer #whatiread #yalovin #booksmakemehappy #loveofreading #bookdragons #cozybooks
