QOTD: Do you have a favorite vampire book/series?⁣
⁣
One of my favorites will always be the Night World series.⁣
⁣
It’s the first vampire book I can remember reading and I’ll always have a soft spot for it, even if the series is never fully published.⁣
⁣
I’ve been waiting for the last book in the series for close to 15 years, but I know some people have been waiting for almost twice as long - the latest book was first published in 1998.⁣
⁣
How long are you willing to wait for the next book in a series?⁣

QOTD: How is your October going so far?⁣ ⁣ I c QOTD: How is your October going so far?⁣
⁣
I can’t believe we’re already more than halfway through the month.⁣
⁣
I barely had time to update my reading journal for September and now I feel like I’m scrambling to add October.⁣
⁣
I’ve definitely been kind of slacking off. 😅⁣

QOTD: What kind of books do you like to read in au QOTD: What kind of books do you like to read in autumn?⁣
⁣
I’m trying to get through some of the more “seasonal” reads from my physical tbr this month.⁣
⁣
It’s not going so well because all my of Libby holds decided to come in at the same time, so I’m trying to read them all before they’re due.⁣
⁣
But I have this weird idea of seasonal, and my brain gets attached to thinking of them that way. And it’s a constant struggle to read them in the “correct” season, or else I’ll have to wait until next year, if that makes sense.⁣
Like Dating & Dismemberment is a cozy monster romance, so my brain sees it and screams “autumn” and “Halloween” but in reality, the world won’t end if I read it next spring.⁣
⁣
But for some reason, my brain thinks it’s wrong, lol.⁣
⁣
Are you a seasonal reader?⁣

QOTD: Do you prefer character driven or plot drive QOTD: Do you prefer character driven or plot driven books?⁣
⁣
It depends on my mood, but usually I prefer plot driven books.⁣
⁣
But the best ones are a good mix of both.⁣
⁣
I feel like Masters of Death found a good balance between characters development and plot of intrigue, but ending was a little disappointing.⁣
⁣
Still, I would read a spin off about the characters and whatever they’re up to afterwards.⁣
⁣
Do you prefer standalone or series?⁣

QOTD: Have you received any new books lately?⁣
⁣
Thank you so much to @redtowerbooks for this surprise mail!⁣
⁣
I can’t wait to read Ship of Spells!⁣
⁣
Besides new book mail, I also got a bunch of my Libby holds that suddenly all became available at once . ⁣
⁣
I guess I’ll be spending my weekend reading. 😊⁣
⁣
How are you spending your weekend?⁣

QOTD: Do you read multiple books at once?⁣ ⁣ I QOTD: Do you read multiple books at once?⁣
⁣
I’m usually a one-book-at-a-time reader since I tend to get plots and characters mixed up when I try to read more than 2 books at once. 💀⁣
⁣
But when my mood is iffy, I’ll start picking up more books in hopes something, anything, will stick.⁣
⁣
According to Storygraph, I technically have 11 current reads, including The Liar’s Crown, which I’m hoping to finish this month.⁣
⁣
But in reality, most of them are forgotten books I don’t feel like DNFing. 😅⁣
⁣
Do you DNF books?⁣

⁣
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!⁣
⁣
I spent my weekend with family and trying to make mooncakes.⁣
⁣
Mooncakes are kind of an interesting dessert (they’re like a weird mix of cake and cookie with a dense filling) and since I’ve been trying to get back into baking lately, it felt like the perfect time to finally try making them.⁣
⁣
What are some of your hobbies, besides reading?⁣
