And the only way to really ease that feeling is to make a plan.⁣ ⁣ There’s just too many options (and deadlines) and I’m feeling the pressure (that only really exists in my head).⁣ 😅 ⁣ I’ve been neglecting my physical TBR, and I have NetGalley books to read and review, and a bunch of Libby holds came in and others expected to be available soon and...⁣ ⁣ And to make things worse, my mood is not cooperating and is refusing to plainly describe what I’m in the mood for.⁣ ⁣ I guess it’s time to play the guessing game aka see which book I find interesting enough to read past chapter 5.⁣ ⁣ How do you decide what to read?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #booklove #bookishgirl #reader #bookdragons #readerproblems
QOTD: What are some of your favorite tropes?⁣ ⁣ I QOTD: What are some of your favorite tropes?⁣ ⁣ I love second chance romance and enemies (or rivals) to lovers and The Blonde Who Came in From the Cold has both.⁣ ⁣ It’s a fun read, especially if you’re looking for spy themed romcom with high(er) stakes.⁣ ⁣ But I enjoyed the first book, The Blonde Identity, more.⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Image description: The spy romance novel, The Blonde Who Came in From the Cold by Ally Carter with a sweater and a cup of coffee.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #AllTheBooksApr26 [pretty covers]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #bookdragon #booksofinstagram #beautifulbooks #reading
