QOTD: Are you looking forward to any upcoming rele QOTD: Are you looking forward to any upcoming releases?⁣ ⁣ I'm really excited for Dangerous Impulses, the next book in The Naturals series.⁣ ⁣ But also a little scared. 😅⁣ ⁣ On one hand, I miss the characters so much I’m thinking of rereading the series now, even though I have so many reading deadlines coming up.⁣ ⁣ On the other, it’s also been years since the original books were published - I first read the completed series in August 2018 (yes, I loved it so much I can remeber when and where I read it) so I’m a little nervous it won’t feel the same.⁣ ⁣ I’m planning to reread the books in late October, right before Dangerous Impulses is released in November, so this reread might have to wait.⁣ ⁣ Do you plan out your reading and have a general schedule?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Image description: The books in the YA mystery series, The Naturals, by Jennifer Lynn Barnes.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #bookclub #bookreview #booksonbooks #lovereading #loveofreading
QOTD: Do you reread books?⁣ ⁣ I do, but usually ju QOTD: Do you reread books?⁣ ⁣ I do, but usually just my favorites.⁣ ⁣ But I’ll also reread books if I’m planning to read their sequels soon (I have a terrible memory 😅).⁣ ⁣ I’m thinking of rereading Daughter of the Pirate Queen and Daughter of the Siren Queen in order to read the newer book, Vengeance of the Pirate Queen.⁣ ⁣ On one hand, I feel like the first two books work well as a duology. On the other, I’m curious to see where the 3rd one goes.⁣ ⁣ Do you ever intentionally not finish a series? How do you feel about new sequels coming out years after a series is presumed to be completed?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Image description: The hardcover copies of the YA fantasy pirate themed books, Daughter of the Pirate King and Daughter of the Siren Queen, by Tricia Levenseller with a cup of coffee.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #bookblog #bookhoarder #bookgirl #yafiction #yaauthors
QOTD: What are you currently reading?⁣ ⁣ I’m hopin QOTD: What are you currently reading?⁣ ⁣ I’m hoping to start Daggermouth soon.⁣ ⁣ I’ve heard so many good things and my borrow will expire next week.⁣ ⁣ But my mood and I still aren’t on the same page of what to read and I’m always nervous to read hyped books.⁣ ⁣ Do you read hyped books?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Image description: An ebook of the fantasy novel, Daggermouth by H.M.

QOTD: Book that’s been on your TBR for the longest QOTD: Book that’s been on your TBR for the longest?⁣ ⁣ Not the longest, but I’ve been thinking of The Unexpected Everything lately.⁣ ⁣ I’ve been meaning to read it since it came out nearly 10 years ago - I actually bought this copy at a signing when Morgan Matson was on a book tour to celebrate its release.⁣ ⁣ And I still haven’t gotten around to it.⁣ ⁣ And it doesn’t help that for some reason I feel like it has to be read in the summer…⁣ ⁣ Are you a seasonal reader?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Image description: The young adult novel, The Unexpected Everything by Morgan Matson with a cup of coffee and chocolate croissant.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #bookphoto #bookstagrammer #avidreader #ilovereading #yalit⁣ Speaking of TBRs, one of my goals for this year is to tackle mine and clean some of it up. It feels messy in my head and that’s been lowkey weighing on me.⁣ I’ve been lucky enough to collect and buy a lot of physical copies throughout the years, but I’ve been terrible at actually reading them. 😅⁣ ⁣ In my defense, I do tend to prefer digital reading formats for their convivence these days.⁣ ⁣ But that’s no excuse to neglect my shelves.⁣ I’ve actually been decent at keeping up with NetGalley this year - I’m really only one book behind for 2026.⁣ ⁣ Most of the overdue reviews are from overcommitting during my serious blogging days and inability to balance working full time with reading and reviewing.⁣ ⁣ Some of these are also on my physical TBR so I could theoretically kill two birds with one book.⁣ I’m almost maxed out on holds on Libby, even with two library cards (my home library & a reciprocal) so I need to start cleaning up this list.⁣ ⁣ But it’s hard since they’re mostly series with sequels yet to be released (I’m a series binger).
QOTD: Are there any book details you like to keep QOTD: Are there any book details you like to keep track of?⁣ ⁣ This is what I usually include when writing book notes in my reading journal:⁣ ⁣ 🔢 # books I’ve read this year⁣ 📖 Book title⁣ 🖋️ Author(s) of the book⁣ 📚 Book series (if applicable)⁣ 📅 The year it was published⁣ 🐲 Genre(s) of the book⁣ ⭐ My star rating⁣ ⁣ For the notes themselves, it’s usually just a brain dump of my thoughts, but sometimes I’ll also include a summary, especially if it’s a series I’m planning to continue or reread (if I remember).⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Video description: A quick overview of the anatomy of my book notes and reviews in my reading journal.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #bookblogger #booktography #bookrelated #readingjournal #journalwithme
QOTD: Do you take notes while reading?⁣ ⁣ I probab QOTD: Do you take notes while reading?⁣ ⁣ I probably should so I have more than just the generic “I liked it” to when adding books to my reading journal a month late. 😅⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Video description: Spending 30 minutes to update my reading journal when I’m 8 books behind.

QOTD: What are some of your favorite summer reads?⁣ ⁣ One of mine is The Unhoneymooners, even though iirc it takes place in the winter? 😅⁣ ⁣ It just has a lot of vacation vibes, which always makes me think of summer, no matter the time of year.⁣ ⁣ Do you have any vacation plans?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Image description: The romance novel, The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren with a postcard from Hawaii.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #booklove #booksarelife #bookishgirl #reader #bookdragons
