QOTD: How was your June?⁣ ⁣ In terms of my persona QOTD: How was your June?⁣ ⁣ In terms of my personal life, it was a decent bounce back month. I got back into somewhat of a routine and got to spend time with friends and family.⁣ ⁣ Reading wise, it was a little… erratic.⁣ ⁣ I didn’t read too much in the beginning and then went on a bit of a reading bender (7 books in 6 days), didn’t read at all the week after while I nursed my reading hangover, and then ended the month by starting and finishing The Traitor Queen in one sitting.⁣ ⁣ So much for reading “consistently”.⁣ ⁣ What are you looking forward to in July?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #booklife #instareads #allthebooks #bookishcommunity #lightread
QOTD: What’ll be your last read of June?⁣ ⁣ I’m ho QOTD: What’ll be your last read of June?⁣ ⁣ I’m hoping mine will be Lover Overboard, but I’m running out of time to finish it since I have less than 12 hours until July and still have a half day of work left.⁣ ⁣ It’s also making me want to spend more of my (limited) time watching Below Deck. 😅⁣ ⁣ What are some of your favorite TV shows?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Image description: A paperback copy of the romance novel, Love Overboard by Kandi Steiner.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #bookish #bookstagram #bookpics #instaread #bookaesthetics
QOTD: What kind of book reviewer are you?⁣ ⁣ Hones QOTD: What kind of book reviewer are you?⁣ ⁣ Honestly, depending on what I’m reading, how often I’m reading, and just general mood, I can be anywhere from star rating only and/or just a few words, to writing 60 full paragraphs.⁣ ⁣ My reading journal is usually just a rough draft of my thoughts, mainly just vibes and a bunch of spelling mistakes. 😅⁣ ⁣ And if I don’t want to read my chicken scratch, I’ll polish it up in Notion or my blog, like my review for Out of Her League.⁣ ⁣ Do you post your reviews?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Video description: The process of adding a review of a newly finished book to my reading journal.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #booknerd #booksofig #avidreader #readingjournal #journalwithme
QOTD: What are some of your favorite tropes?⁣ ⁣ I QOTD: What are some of your favorite tropes?⁣ ⁣ I have so many that I can’t keep up with them all.⁣ ⁣ One of my favorites is second chance romance. Or rather, exes to lovers.⁣ ⁣ For some reason, I always though second chance romance involved a previous failed relationship of some kind. But lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of books marketed with that trope being applied to unexplored crushes?⁣ ⁣ I guess that makes sense but now I need to update my trope definitions.⁣ ⁣ Are there any other trope definitions I need to update or include?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Image description: My study notes on romance tropes and their definitions.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #bookaholic #readmorebooks #bookaddiction #totalbooknerd #readerproblems
QOTD: What’s your favorite book with dragons?⁣ ⁣ I QOTD: What’s your favorite book with dragons?⁣ ⁣ I’m hoping So Let Them Burn will be my new favorite.⁣ ⁣ I’ve been in the mood for dragons and other fantasy creatures so I’m hoping this one will hit the spot.⁣ ⁣ And that my mood and I are on the same page, for once.⁣ ⁣ Do you have a favorite fantasy creature?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Image description: The YA fantasy novel, So Let Them Burn by Kamilah Cole.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #bookcommunity #bibliophilelife #yalovin #readergram #hyggebookstyle
QOTD: How often do you clean your shelves?⁣ ⁣ Obvi QOTD: How often do you clean your shelves?⁣ ⁣ Obviously, I don’t clean my frequently enough. 🙈⁣ ⁣ In my defense, I’ve been kind of avoiding them out of guilt since I haven’t really made any progress on my physical TBR.⁣ ⁣ Do you have any tips on taking care of bookshelves?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Video description: Cleaning my bookshelves.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #booknerdigans #shelfie #bookaesthetic #readerlife #bookishphotography
QOTD: Do you have any favorite sports romances?⁣ ⁣ QOTD: Do you have any favorite sports romances?⁣ ⁣ One of my favorites is The Problem with Second Chances, even though sports is only sort of involved. 😅⁣ ⁣ In my defense, the main characters met through soccer (it takes place in Alaska) so I think of it as a sports romance, even though the game isn’t really too heavily featured. ⁣ ⁣ I just love a good second chance romance and with the World Cup in town, I’ve been thinking of rereading this one soon.⁣ ⁣ Are you watching the World Cup?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Image description: The cover of the romance novel, The Problem with Second Chances by Piper Rayne.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #CourtOfReadingJun26 [cannot move on from]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #bookaholic #bookaddiction #totalbooknerd #justread
