QOTD: What do you do when you’re in a slump?⁣ QOTD: What do you do when you’re in a slump?⁣
⁣
I think I’m about to hit a reading slump. I’ve been trudging through my current read and now I think I’m the problem.⁣
⁣
Normally, when I start to get into a reading slump, I like to revisit an old favorite or pick up a thriller (something that will keep me interested and turning the pages).⁣
⁣
The Naturals series is usually one of my go-tos. It’s one of the few mystery books I can read over and over, even when I know what twists and turns are coming and how everything is resolved. I just love the characters so much. It’s been years but I’m still campaigning for an adult spin-off.⁣
⁣
As a sidenote, someone please convince me not to buy the new editions of this series. I’ve definitely been eyeing them even though I already own the whole series. 😅 ⁣
⁣
Do you collect multiple editions?⁣

QOTD: What are some of your favorite tropes?⁣
⁣
One of my absolute favorites is found family.⁣
⁣
There’s just something so endearing about a band of misfits teaming up together.⁣
⁣
But I feel like I haven’t read a lot of them lately.⁣
⁣
Maybe it’s time to finally read We Hunt the Flame? 😅⁣

QOTD: What’s your preferred reading format?⁣
⁣
If you asked me a couple of months ago, I would have said ebooks without any hesitation, but now I’m not so sure.⁣
⁣
I fell in love with audiobooks these last two months and I haven’t actually read anything with my eyes since.⁣
⁣
But I’m definitely missing the convivence of ebooks, both the ability to read them anytime, anywhere on my phone, but also how easy it is to flip back to a previous chapter or search for a particular quote.⁣
⁣
Do you enjoy novellas?⁣

⁣
Finally got around to updating my reading journal for October.⁣
⁣
I’ve definitely been slacking but it’s just been like that lately. I probably wouldn’t be getting any reading done if it wasn’t for audiobooks. My brain and eyes are just so fried by the time I get off work.⁣
⁣
How is your month going?⁣

QOTD: What’s next on your TBR?⁣ ⁣ I need to QOTD: What’s next on your TBR?⁣
⁣
I need to read some books off my physical TBR so I was thinking of reading Furyborn next.⁣
⁣
Only to find out I already read it? 🤷🏻‍♀️⁣
⁣
I have absolutely no memory of doing that, but Goodreads and my reading journal both say I did.⁣
⁣
I guess it’s time for a reread (?) and to finish the series.⁣
⁣
Do you ever forget books you’ve read?⁣

QOTD: What’s a series on your TBR?⁣ ⁣ Poison QOTD: What’s a series on your TBR?⁣
⁣
Poison Princess has been on my TBR for a few years now. Somehow, I own two editions of it, but I still haven’t read it yet. 😅⁣
⁣
It’s just that as a binge reader, I like to secure the whole series before starting.⁣
⁣
Before my excuse was that the series was still in progress. And now that it’s been completed, I’m having trouble borrowing all the books at once. ⁣
⁣
Do you binge read series or prefer to read them as they’re released?⁣
