⁣
I'm still in a bit of a slump but I'm hoping to start Vow of Eternal Night soon aka today.⁣
⁣
Mainly, because I really want a new NetGalley badge, which means I'll have to read it review it by tomorrow. 😬⁣

It doesn't help that my tbr is a mess.⁣

I'm making slow progress with my physical tbr, went backwards with my NetGalley tbr (just added books without knocking anything out), and let's not talk about the chaos that is my Liby holds list.⁣

QOTD: What are your currently reading?⁣ ⁣ I’m fina QOTD: What are your currently reading?⁣
⁣
I’m finally reading Little White Lies by Jennifer Lynn Barnes after I got it in a PR box nearly 8 years ago. AKA back when I had the time and energy to take this type of flatlays with tons of props.⁣
⁣
Actually, I’m listening to the audiobook. 😅⁣
⁣
I was going to switch back to reading the physical copy, but I’m really loving the accents the narrator is doing. It helps make the reading experience more immersive, even though the mystery stands on its own - it’s the story of a somewhat normal girl thrust into a world of debutantes and “high society” while trying to figure out her who’s her secret (and scandalous) father.⁣
⁣
Do you have any favorite audiobooks?⁣

Do you notice any trends in your reading? One of Do you notice any trends in your reading?

One of my favorite things about updating the trackers in my reading journal every month is seeing any trends in my reading. I just find it so interesting to learn more about my own reading habits.

Apparently my 2026 is full of peaks and valleys. Hppefully that means I'll be able to read more books this month since I had a bit of a slower reading month in July.

At least I'm still on track with my main goal of reading 70 books (let's not talk about my other bookish goals)l 😅)

How are your reading goals going?

⁣
Mine was as inconsistent as ever.⁣
⁣
I just wasn’t really in the mood to read so I didn’t spend a lot of time reading. 🤷🏻‍♀️⁣
⁣
On the bright side, I found some new favorites - I enjoyed Daggermouth and I’m still thinking about The Winged Game nearly a whole month after I read it.⁣
⁣
Honestly, I might need to bump up my rating for The Winged Game. I’ve been craving a reread (already) so I feel like it deserves more than the 4 stars I gave it initially.⁣
⁣
Do you ever decide to change ratings afterwards?⁣

QOTD: Do you prefer to binge read series or space QOTD: Do you prefer to binge read series or space each book out?⁣
⁣
I generally prefer to binge read because I have a terrible memory.⁣
⁣
And I mean terrible.⁣
⁣
Shield of Sparrows was one of my favorite books last year and I barely remember the characters name and what happened.⁣
⁣
So I’ve purposely been procrastinating on reading Rites of the Starling - I pre-ordered it, but I’m planning on waiting close to the release of Seven and the Swift to read it.⁣
⁣
That way I can save time by saving myself the need to reread Shield of Sparrows multiple times.⁣
⁣
Are there any sequels you’re procrastinating on reading?⁣

I haven't really had a chance to visit mine lately since their summer hours either conflict with my work schedule or the weather refuses to cooperate.

But I have been making use of these hold lockers. It's been so nice to be able to pick up my physical holds whenever I can swing by.
