QTOD: What's your favorite book-length? I love th QTOD: What's your favorite book-length? I love the typical mid-size book. Maybe 300-400 pages? (I'm not sure, I don't usually pay attention to page count). But anything smaller than that seems a little short and anything over that scares me. Not going to lie, I'm seriously intimidated by big books. I like them, don't get me wrong. But I'm so afraid of them. Especially the books that are already taller than others, like The Last Magician, for example. Couple that with a high page count and you can bet I'll procrastinate with reading it. Are you ever intimidated by big books? — [Image description: Photos of the book, The Last Magician by Lisa Maxwell, on a fluffy blanket with a cup of (now cold) tea.] . . . ⚔️ challenges #MyFictionalMusings [historical fiction] #CozyAsCanBee [favorite genre] #BookstaWitchery [warm drinks] . #TheLastMagician #LisaMaxwell #SimonTeen #RivetedLit #instaread #instabooks #booktography #readinggoals #unitedbookstagram #readingismagic #yafantasy #bookwormsunite #bookishphotography #bookaesthetics #loveofreading #bookishgram
QTOD: What's your favorite page to screen adaptati QTOD: What's your favorite page to screen adaptation? Mine is probably the first #ToAllTheBoys movie. It's just so sweet and cute! That said, I haven't watched the other last one yet. In my defense, it's kind of hard to watch when you don't have Netflix and can't watch it with friends. 😅 Do you enjoy watching book to whatever adaptations? — I meant to post this edit closer to when TATB3 came out earlier this year but I forgot. .

QTOD: Are you ever tempted to peek at endings whil QTOD: Are you ever tempted to peek at endings while reading? I... I am. Often. And I end up doing it often too. 😅 Look, it's not my fault I get secondhand embarrassment easily. It's also not my fault I prefer faster-paced books. So if I'm ever in the middle of reading a book, and I either get too embarrassed for a character or feel like the story is moving too slowly, yeah, I wanna take a peek at the ending. I just want to know if the end is worth the pain. This strategy was actually pretty efficient and straightforward for me when I was younger. There are too many books to read, and not enough time, you know. If the ending isn't satisfying then I'll just DNF and move on. But if it seems interesting I'll go back to reading chapter 20. The problem is, these days, if I end up peaking, it's more or less a guaranteed DNF, no matter how much I enjoyed the book before I got stuck or how good/bad the ending is. It seems like I never want to go back to chapter 20 anymore. Once I spoil the ending for myself, my brain is like, thank you, next! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Do spoilers ever ruin books for you? — [Image description: Flatlay of the book, The Program by Suzanne Young, on a wood table with a cup of coffee and some (fake) flowers.] . . . ⚔️ challenges #AllTheBooksSep21 [hardcovers] #OneSquareStory [fall] #MyFictionalMusings [white books] . #SuzanneYoung #bookgeek #booksofinstagram #readmorebooks #readingcommunity #vscoreads #yabookstagram #yafiction #readergram #lightreading #yabookstagrammer #readersunite #bookrelated
QTOD: What's your favorite underrated read? #TheD QTOD: What's your favorite underrated read? #TheDarkestMinds is one of mine! I feel like not enough people talk about it here, but it's one of my absolute favorite books. Although to be fair, it did get adapted into a movie, so I'm not sure if I can actually call it underrated. 😅 It just has such a great balance between having well-developed characters, an exciting plot, and great world-building. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a dystopian read. But as much as I love this series (it's a trilogy, btw), I can't seem to bring myself to read its spin-off. I'm terrible at reading the last book set in a world I love.

QTOD: What's one of your favorite tropes? I have QTOD: What's one of your favorite tropes? I have a soft spot for enemies to lovers. I love watching that relationship between characters progress from hatred to something more special. That said, not all enemies-to-lovers stories are written that well. I feel like a lot of them try to cash in on the popularity of the trope but end up cheating me out of watching the relationship between the MCs grow and glow up. What are some of your favorite books with enemies to lovers? (This series is one of mine, btw). — [Slides 1 & 3: A stack of books against a white background.

QTOD: What's one of your favorite book covers? I QTOD: What's one of your favorite book covers? I love the cover of #TheBoneWitch by #RinChupeco! It's been a few years since I first saw it on NetGalley but every time a photo of it pops up in my feed, I always have to take a few seconds to admire it. It doesn't hurt that it's one of the few purple (my favorite color) covers out there. This is a #ThrowbackThursday post to 2017 when I used to be into arranging more intricate flatlays. I haven't done one in a while due to a mix of being uninspired and also pure laziness (the cleanup afterwards is... not fun).

QTOD: What's an author you want to read more from? QTOD: What's an author you want to read more from? I'd love to read more books from #JenniferLynnBarnes. I loved her The Naturals series and also enjoyed The Fixer duology. I still have to read The Inheritance Games, though. I feel like since I'm already behind (the second book came out today), I might as well wait for the series to be completed before starting it. I'm not a fan of cliffhangers. 😅 Do you binge read series? — [Image description: Flatlay of the book The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes on a blanket with a cup of coffee, a candle, and some fake greenery.] . . . ⚔️ challenges #CreativeBookstagram [legacy] #AllTheBooksSep21 [flatlay] #BookstaWitchery [favorite author] . #TheInheritanceGames #TheNOVL #amreading #reading #booksarelife #avidreader #bookrecommendation #bookpics #booksaremagic #bookreaders #readingforpleasure #readersunite #bookstagrammademedoit #averybookishpost
