QOTD: Why do you read?⁣ ⁣ I definitely mainly QOTD: Why do you read?⁣ ⁣ I definitely mainly read to escape reality.⁣ ⁣ Throwback to when I was inspired to make cover recreations and other bookish photoshop edits.⁣ ⁣ If you need a Halloween costume, a pair of boots and a leather jacket will take you far. Just add a book/character specific prop or decoration, and you’re good to go - just look at how many times it shows up here. 😅⁣ ⁣ Will you be dressing up for Halloween? If you are, who/what are you going as?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #AllTheBooksOct25 [character you'd dress up as]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #booklife #instareads #allthebooks #yafantasy #bookishcommunity #lightread
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?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Image description: The newer edition of Night World, by L.J.

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. 😅⁣ ⁣ What are you currently reading?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Video description: Updating my bookish reading journal.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #CourtOfReadingOct25 [autumn vibes]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #bookaddict #readersofig #bookreviewer #bookstagrammers #igreads #readingjournal
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?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Image description: A paperback copy of the cozy monster romance novel, Dating & Dismemberment by A.

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?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Image description: The paranormal fantasy novel, Masters of Death by Olivie Blake.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #LMSOctober2025 [standalone love]⁣ ⁣ #MyFictionalMusingsOct25 [demons and angels]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #booknerdigans #bookstagramfeature #bookaesthetic #readerlife #bookishphotography

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?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Image description: The young adult fantasy novel, The Liar’s Crown by Abigail Owen.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #AllTheBooksOct25 [skull on the cover]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #amreading #alwaysreading #bookpost #whattoread #mybookishfeatures #bookstagrammademedoit
