QOTD: What’s a sequel you’re excited to read?⁣ ⁣ I CANNOT wait to read the sequel to Shield of Sparrows!⁣ ⁣ I was lucky enough to receive an ARC from @redtowerbooks but that lowkey means I have to wait even longer for the next book.⁣ ⁣ I NEED to know what happens next!⁣ ⁣ I highly recommend this if you’re looking for a slow burn romantasy with some interesting plot twists.⁣ ⁣ What’s your favorite romantasy book/series? ⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Image description: An advanced reader’s copy of the new romantasy novel, Shield of Sparrows, by Devney Perry.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #LMSMay2025 [plot twist]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #booklife #instareads #allthebooks #bookishcommunity #lightread
QOTD: What’s your favorite series in your favori QOTD: What’s your favorite series in your favorite genre?⁣ ⁣ One of my favorites is the Guild Hunter series by Nalini Singh!⁣ ⁣ You can tell how much I love it by the fact that I’m up to date with it, even 16+ books in.⁣ ⁣ Normally, I’m terrible at keeping up with new releases, but I’m willing to put in some more effort to keep track of new sequels like signing up for author newsletters and adding the release date to ALL my calendars.⁣ ⁣ How do you keep track of ongoing series?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #AllTheBooksMay25 [all-time favorite genre]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #booknerd #booksofig #avidreader #readingcommunity #readingforpleasure #bookishsupport
QOTD: What reading stats do you track?⁣ ⁣ The QOTD: What reading stats do you track?⁣ ⁣ The benefit of not having a great reading month or quarter is that it’s much easier to catch up on updating your reading journal.⁣ ⁣ I’m still playing around with my journal.⁣ ⁣ I really want to have a physical log of my reads, reviews, and some stats this year, but it’s definitely harder to maintain than logging books into Storygraph and jogging a few thoughts down there.⁣ ⁣ Plus, there’s no spell check or delete button to correct my spelling and any other errors.⁣ ⁣ Whoops.⁣ ⁣ Do you prefer digital or physical?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Video description: Updating my reading journal with the books and reading stats that I read in the first quarter of 2025.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #bookaddict #readersofig #bookreviewer #bookstagrammers #igreads #booksconnectus #readingjournal

QOTD: What books are you looking forward to?⁣ ⁣ SHIELD OF SPARROWS is on my list of May releases, so I was super, SUPER, excited when I saw this box in the mail. Thank you so much, @redtowerbooks!!⁣ ⁣ Devney Perry was one of my favorite authors I discovered last year; she was also one of my most read. And her other 2025 release, MERIT, is currently my top book of the year so far.⁣ ⁣ We’ll see if SHIELD OF SPARROWS can top that.⁣ ⁣ Do you have any new favorite authors?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Video description: an unboxing of a PR box containing an advanced reader’s copy of the upcoming romantasy novel, SHIELD OF SPARROWS by Devney Perry.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #AllTheBooksApr25 [#FridayReads]⁣ ⁣ #CourtOfReadingApr25 [fantasy friday]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #bookobsessed #vscobooks #bookstagramit #constantreader #lightreading #readingtime
QOTD: How long are you willing to wait for sequels QOTD: How long are you willing to wait for sequels?⁣ ⁣ Most sequels lowkey need to be published within a few months or at least have a set release date, so I have something to put into my calendar, or else I’ll probably forget about it. 😅⁣ ⁣ But honestly, if I absolutely love a series, I’ll read the sequel whenever, if ever, it comes out.⁣ ⁣ Apparently, I’m willing to wait 7+ years for the potential new Vampire Academy book.⁣ ⁣ I had the pleasure of attending one of Richelle Mead’s book signings in 2018, and she teased that she was working on new material for the series.⁣ ⁣ We’re in 2025, and there still hasn’t been any new news (to my knowledge).⁣ ⁣ At least the VA world is pretty complete as is, so any new material would be a bonus.⁣ ⁣ I’ll just enjoy my reread of VA and Bloodlines.⁣ ⁣ What do you think of spin-off series?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Image description: The YA vampire novel, BLOODLINES by Richelle Mead.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #CourtOfReadingApr25 [free day]⁣ ⁣ #LMSApril2025 [favorite genre]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #VampireAcademy #RichelleMead #bookphotography #bookrecommendations #booksofinsta #goodreads #yabookstagrammer
