QOTD: Do you read backlist titles?⁣ ⁣ I love a goo QOTD: Do you read backlist titles?⁣ ⁣ I love a good backlist title, even the ones that are... products of their time.⁣ ⁣ I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singh was first published.⁣ ⁣ I stumbled upon it randomly while browsing through the available ebooks on Libby. Read the sample and I was hooked!⁣ ⁣ 15 books later, the Psy-Changeling series is one of the longest book series I read and finished in my entire life. Which just goes to show how good the books are since I’m normally terrible at finishing trilogies, let alone a 10+ book series.⁣ ⁣ How do you find books to read?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Image description: The newer paperback cover of Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singh along with a graphic with the book’s synopsis.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #booklife #instareads #allthebooks #bookishcommunity #romantasy
QOTD: How was your August?⁣ ⁣ Mine was kind of str QOTD: How was your August?⁣ ⁣ Mine was kind of stressful, not going to lie.⁣ ⁣ I just had a lot going on. It’s was kind of a shock to going from hermit introvert life to having lots of plans with lots of people. 😅⁣ ⁣ And it seems like I’m still stuck in my reading slump, which was kind of expected, tbh.⁣ ⁣ When I’m stressed or super busy, I tend to either read a lot or not at all.⁣ ⁣ And last month it was more in the not at all category. 🙈⁣ ⁣ Are you looking forward to anything this month?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #bookish #bookstagram #bookpics #instaread #bookaesthetics
QOTD: What are your favorite scents?⁣ ⁣ I can be r QOTD: What are your favorite scents?⁣ ⁣ I can be really sensitive to smell - walking past the perfume counter at a department store can trigger a headache like no other.⁣ ⁣ So I tend to prefer more citrussy and woodsy scents since they’re usually safer.⁣ ⁣ Immortal Rose is set is a world with magical perfume, which just sounds so intriguing. And since Alex Bracken wrote one of my favorite series of all time (The Darkest Minds), I’m really excited to read it.⁣ ⁣ Are you looking forward to any upcoming releases?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Image description: The newly released fantasy novel, Immortal Rose by Alexandra Bracken with a bottle of perfume.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #booknerd #booksofig #avidreader #readingcommunity #readingforpleasure
QOTD: Do you have a favorite fictional school?⁣ ⁣ QOTD: Do you have a favorite fictional school?⁣ ⁣ It’s back to school season where I live. And even though school wasn’t my favorite, I miss all the back to school events and vibes.⁣ ⁣ There’s just something special about going school supply shopping, getting your class schedule, and starting a new year.⁣ ⁣ Anyways, I’m looking forward to (finally) starting at Calder Academy this semester. 😅⁣ ⁣ If you could attend any fictional school, where would you like to go and what would you study?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Image description: An advance reader’s copy of the YA fantasy novel, Sweet Nightmare by Tracy Wolff with a welcome letter from Calder Academy.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #bookaddict #readersofig #bookreviewer #bookstagrammers #igreads
QOTD: Are you more of a procrastinator or a pre-cr QOTD: Are you more of a procrastinator or a pre-crastinator?⁣ ⁣ Depending on what the task is and what I have going on, I’m typically one or the other, but rarely ever the perfect middle.⁣ ⁣ I’m usually either super quick to update my reading journal after I finish reading a book or running 3 weeks late.⁣ ⁣ There is no in between. 😅⁣ ⁣ Adding my notes to my journal immediately after reading is great for capturing all my thoughts and feelings when I still remember them. But it also means my thoughts don’t have time to marinate and sometimes I’ll change my opinions a little after a day or too.⁣ ⁣ But when I’m super behind, like in this video, I tend to forget a lot of what I wanted to say and lose a lot of detail in my notes.⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Video description: Tracking how long it takes me to catch up on my reading journal when I’m behind on keeping it updated.]
QOTD: Do you enjoy reading novellas?⁣ ⁣ I rarely r QOTD: Do you enjoy reading novellas?⁣ ⁣ I rarely read standalone novellas, but I love reading ones related to a book or series I enjoyed.⁣ ⁣ It’s just so nice to be able to revisit and catch up with my favorite characters or learn more about others.⁣ ⁣ And they’re low commitment since they’re much shorter than full length novels.⁣ ⁣ And yet I still haven’t read the two novellas included in the Last Violent Call set.⁣ ⁣ This box set of novellas is one of the cooler editions I own - I rarely see physical copies of novellas, let alone ones printed as individual hard covers.⁣ ⁣ And the cover design to make them look like Chinese books are a nice touch too.⁣ ⁣ Do you have any favorite novellas or short stories?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Image description: Showcasing my copy of Last Violent Call by Chloe Gong. It contains two novellas set in her YA fantasy series, Secret Shanghai.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #bookcommunity #readingisfun #yalovin #readergram #hyggebookstyle
QOTD: Are you looking forward to any upcoming sequ QOTD: Are you looking forward to any upcoming sequels?⁣ ⁣ I was going to pick up Storm Breaker and then I realized its sequel will be coming out in a few weeks?⁣ ⁣ Apparently it’s a trilogy so I might just hold off until the whole series is published?⁣ ⁣ I’m trying to minimize unnecessary rereads since I have a terrible memory. 😅⁣ ⁣ I’m so glad dystopians are making a come back. It was one of my favorite genres⁣ ⁣ Do you have a favorite dyostopian novel?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Image description: An advanced reader’s copy of the young adult dystopian novel, Storm Breaker, written by Nisha J.
