QOTD: What’s an old favorite you haven’t thought a QOTD: What’s an old favorite you haven’t thought about in a while?⁣
⁣
Honestly, I kind of forgot about These Broken Stars and its series until I found them while reorganizing my shelves.⁣
⁣
Which is kind of crazy to say since I have a poster of the 3rd book in the trilogy hanging above my shelves.⁣
⁣
If I’m honest, it’s been a while since I thought of any of the sci-fi books in my collection. It’s not really a genre I read too often anymore. 😅⁣
⁣
As a sidenote, the covers for this series are some of the prettiest that I own.⁣

QOTD: What are some of your favorite morally grey QOTD: What are some of your favorite morally grey characters?⁣
⁣
I’ll always have a soft spot for The Cruel Prince for introducing me to anti-heroes and morally grey characters.⁣
⁣
Most of the books I read before all feature heroes or relucent heroes, but I can’t think of any that were more ambiguous.⁣
⁣
But even though I enjoyed this trilogy, I haven’t read the spin-off series. 😅⁣
⁣
Do you read spin-off series?⁣

QOTD: What’s a series you need to finish?⁣ ⁣ I nee QOTD: What’s a series you need to finish?⁣
⁣
I need to finish The Gilded Wolves trilogy.⁣
⁣
I really have no excuse - I own all three books.⁣
⁣
It’s just I’m not great at completing series, especially if they require rereading.⁣
⁣
And this one definitely will since the last time I read the first two books was back in 2020. 😅⁣
⁣
This is why I usually binge read series.⁣
⁣
Do you prefer binge reading series or to read them as they are published?⁣

QOTD: How much do you usually read per day?⁣ ⁣ I t QOTD: How much do you usually read per day?⁣
⁣
I try to read every day but the actual page count varies depending on a bunch of factors like my mood, my time, the book I’m reading & its format.⁣
⁣
On a typical day, I’ll probably read around 30-50 pages.⁣
⁣
But on this particular day, I was reading an audiobook in the perfect conditions to consume a lot of it.⁣
⁣
The benefits of multitasking! 😁⁣
⁣
Do you like to set aside specific time to read or just read whenever you can?⁣

QOTD: Is there a series you hope will be continued QOTD: Is there a series you hope will be continued?⁣
⁣
I’ve been hoping for more books in The Naturals series ever since I read them for the first time in 2018.⁣
⁣
And I can’t believe that wish will be coming true in November.⁣
⁣
I’ve been refreshing the Goodreads page every day to make sure I’m not hallucinating.⁣
⁣
The only downside is that I can no longer talk myself out of not buying the new editions, and especially not the new special editions.⁣
⁣
My slightly mismatched series kind of bugs me, but never enough for me to hunt down the first edition hardcover of The Naturals.⁣
⁣
But now that the new book will be totally mismatched? I don’t think I have the willpower to resist. 😅⁣
⁣
Do mismatched series bother you?⁣

QOTD: Do you use bookish maps while reading?⁣ ⁣ I QOTD: Do you use bookish maps while reading?⁣
⁣
I sometimes do. Usually when I remember it exists or if I get all confused about the directions.⁣
⁣
Otherwise, I’m often too engrossed in the story to flip back to the map, especially since I read a lot ebooks - the maps aren’t as easy to see/use there.⁣
⁣
But regardless, they’re always so pretty.⁣
⁣
What are some of your favorite bookish features included in books?⁣
