I started it last month in the middle of my reading slump.⁣ ⁣ And now that I think I’ve recovered, I want to finish it (or DNF it) so I can start October off fresh.⁣ ⁣ I only have about 134 pages left so it should be doable… right?⁣ ⁣ Are you trying to squeeze any books in today?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Image description: The fantasy romance novel, Vow of Eternal Night by Lily Crozier.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #bookphoto #bookstagrammer #avidreader #readreadread #ilovereading
Do you read novellas? I don't read too many but t Do you read novellas? I don't read too many but they can be a good reset when I'm in a slump. Plus, I'm slowly working my way through all of Ali Hazelwood’s backlist. It's just a little funny that it took me longer to pick out a color than actually writing my thoughts down in my reading journal. There's just not much to say when the story is so short. Do you have any favorite novellas? [Video description: timing how long it took me to update my reading journal with my review of the novella, TWO CAN PLAY by Ali Hazelwood.]

QOTD: Do you like watching adaptations?⁣ ⁣ I don’t QOTD: Do you like watching adaptations?⁣ ⁣ I don’t mind them, but I rarely watch them, if I’m honest.⁣ ⁣ To be fair, I don’t watch a whole lot of TV or movies in general. And when I do, it’s usually reruns of old favorites as background noise while I’m working. 😅⁣ ⁣ But I’m debating if I should watch The Love Hypothesis.⁣ ⁣ I read it earlier this year and enjoyed it! It’s not my favorite romance, or even my favorite of Ali’s books (Deep End still holds that title), but it was a solid read.⁣ ⁣ I’m just really interested to see how that story will translate to TV and what changes they made, if any, to better fit the new format.⁣ ⁣ Are you looking forward to any adaptations?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Image description: A paperback copy of the romance novel, The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #bookgram #booksbooksbooks #bookishlife #readingtime📖 #instabooks Do you ever buy movie/TV tie in editions of books? I usually don't, especially since they're usually more expensive than the normal edition. 😅
QOTD: Do you get FOMO for books?⁣ ⁣ I thought I ou QOTD: Do you get FOMO for books?⁣ ⁣ I thought I outgrew it in college, and that might be true for social settings, but I definitely still get it when it comes to books.⁣ ⁣ Whether it’s pre-order incentives or limited exclusive editions, it’s so hard for me to resist pre-ordering.⁣ ⁣ Which is an issue since I rarely actually read the books I pre-order. 😅⁣ ⁣ The marketing around “first print run only” is so good at making me panic buy books. But after Iron Flame, I’m a little more jaded about those editions, especially after the Wing & Claw editions came out.⁣ ⁣ So I’m still debating if I should pre-order Threshing Day.⁣ ⁣ On one hand, I really love Fourth Wing. On the other, I still have to read my pre-ordered copy of Onyx Storm…⁣ ⁣ Are you looking forward to any upcoming releases?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Image description: The first edition hardcover of the romantasy novel, Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros, with Fourth Wing in the background.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #booklove #booksarelife #bookishgirl #reader #readerproblems
Hopefully this works. I have a terrible memory wh Hopefully this works. I have a terrible memory when it comes to the books I read. I can maybe remember the general plot but draw a blank when it comes to the finer details like the main character's name. 😅 And so I have to spend a lot of time rereading in order to refresh my memory. It becomes a bit of a domino affect. New sequels don't make sense without the first book. I'm short on time so I can't reread. And so everything goes (and stays) on my tbr. I'm hoping this notebook will help solve that issue. Assuming I can stick to it and remember to write my recaps while/after I read a book. Do you have any tips on note-taking while reading or how to keep track of the plot and characters?
