QTOD: Do you like reading spin-offs?⁣ ⁣ I sort QTOD: Do you like reading spin-offs?⁣ ⁣ I sort of do? But it really depends on the series and the characters. My favorite types of spin-offs are where the main characters of the first series continue to have a big presence in the spin-off, like Heroes of Olympus, for example.⁣ ⁣ But when the spin-off revolves around new(er) characters and a different crew than the first, that’s when things get a little dicey for me. Half the time in those types of spin-offs I just read them to see my favorite characters from the original series again. 🤷🏻‍♀️⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ I’ve definitely already asked today’s QOTD like a hundred times before. But can we pretend I haven’t? 😅⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #booksofsept20 [need to read]⁣ ⁣ #rfabsep20 [enemies to lovers]⁣ ⁣ #AVeryBookishPostChallenge [books & blooms]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #VampireAcademy #RichelleMead #bookcommunity #bookaddict #bookoftheday #readersgonnaread #yafantasy #readingcommunity #bookaddiction #readingforpleasure #bookishcommunity #bookstagrammademedoit #booksconnectus #bookishsupport⁣
QTOD: What genre do you read the most? The least?⁣ ⁣ I probably read fantasy the most. Interestingly enough, sci-fi, which I consider fantasy's sister genre, is actually one of my least read genres. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Sci-fi is just a little too high tech for my brain to handle sometimes.⁣ ⁣ I've been getting in more a sci-fi dysopian mood lately though, so hopefully I'll be in the mood to read this series soon. ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #tumblesoverbooks [not my normal genre]⁣ ⁣ #rfabsep20 [female author]⁣ ⁣ #bookbookowlseasonalseptember [Lunar New Year (sci-fi reads)]⁣ ⁣ #StarsInTheDark [that look in your eyes]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #CindyPon #SimonTeen #ilovereading #bookphotography #readersofig #bookishpost #bookalicious #readerlife #beautifulbooks #mybookishfeatures #readingtogether #readersunite #bookstagrammademedoit #averybookishpost
QTOD: What would be your favorite activity at camp QTOD: What would be your favorite activity at camp?⁣ ⁣ Some example activities:⁣ ⁣ 🚩 capture the flag⁣ ⚔ sword skills⁣ 🎨 arts & crafts⁣ 🔥 campfire⁣ 🌊 swimming⁣ ⁣ I think my favorite would either be the campfire, swimming, or arts & crafts. Whichever will get me less mosquito bites. Oh, or maybe eating meals! That usually happens in air conditioning... right?⁣ ⁣ Honestly, I've only really been to your typical outdoor summer camp once and that was 10 years ago and only for a few days. Shoutout to Outdoor Education!⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ This is basically my childhood in a photo. The Percy Jackson universe played such a huge role in my life and I always look forward to my (fictional) visits to Camp Half-Blood (and Camp Jupiter).⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #allthebookssept20 [page turner]⁣ ⁣ #bookishgirlshunt [books outside]⁣ ⁣ #tumblesoverbooks [the sequel was better]⁣ ⁣ #bookreadhappyhour [fictional sports and competitions]⁣ ⁣ #rfabsep20 [male author]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #CampHalfBlood #RickRiordan #bookblog #reader #alwaysreading #bookstagramit #whattoread #avidreader #yareads #bookreaders #readingforpleasure #cozyreads #readerproblems #readingstagram
QTOD: Do you ever unhaul your books?⁣ ⁣ I've b QTOD: Do you ever unhaul your books?⁣ ⁣ I've been seeing a lot of people start to unhaul their books recently and I feel like I should do the same. I'm more or less out of space on my shelves and I really don't want to upgrade / buy new ones (for now).⁣ ⁣ But I also don't feel comfortable unhauling books I haven't read which is a bit of an issue because well, I haven't read most of the books that I own. 😅 Just because I don't think I'll enjoy a book doesn't mean it won't end up becoming one of my favorites and I don't want to be stuck getting rid of a book and then wanting to buy another copy later.⁣ ⁣ And then regarding the books I do want to unhaul, I have no idea how to actually unhaul them.⁣ ⁣ Have you ever sold your old books?

QTOD: What's your favorite thing about autumn?⁣ QTOD: What's your favorite thing about autumn?⁣ ⁣ I love the sweater weather that comes with it and the way the leaves change color! I'm not typically the biggest fan of yellows and oranges but there's just something magical about fall that makes me love them.⁣ ⁣ And of course, I love a good pumpkin spice latte.⁣ ⁣ What season do you look forward to the most?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #ampersandsept20 [new-to-you author]⁣ ⁣ #fearyournovel [favorite genre]⁣ ⁣ #bookishgirlshunt [sweater weather]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #PoisonPrincess #KresleyCole #SimonTeen #instaread #instabooks #booktography #readinggoals #unitedbookstagram #readingismagic #yafantasy #bookwormsunite #bookishphotography #bookaesthetics #loveofreading #bookishgram⁣
QTOD: What's your favorite fictional school?⁣ ⁣ One of my favorites is the Gallagher Academy from the #GallagherGirls series! Who doesn't like spy school for teenagers?⁣ ⁣ I'm actually thinking of rereading this series soon. There's just something about September that makes me think of these books. Probably because it's when most schools start in the US. Plus, since this year is the first one in about 17 years that I won't be headed back to school after Labor Day, I have some extra time on my hands to revisit a series I love so much.⁣ ⁣ Do you have any favorite series that you love to reread?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ I've been sitting on this edit for about two years now. I just keep forgetting to post it. 😅⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #fearyournovel [back to school]⁣ ⁣ #bookishgirlshunt [back to school]⁣ ⁣ #cozyascanbee [simple pleasures]⁣ ⁣ #tumblesoverbooks [recommended to me]⁣ ⁣ #bookreadhappyhour [you have no power over me.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #AllyCarter #DontJudgeAGirlByHerCover #bookcommunity #currentlyreading #bookdragon #allthebooks #beautifulbooks #yabooks #readeveryday #readergram #booksmakemehappy #yabookstagrammer #coverlove #bookishedit #coverrecreation
QOTD: What’s your favorite book cover?⁣ ⁣ Th QOTD: What’s your favorite book cover?⁣ ⁣ There are a lot of beautiful book covers out there, but one of my favorites are the covers of the Starbound trilogy. I mean, just look at the one for #TheseBrokenStars! The colors, the dress, the stars. The stars! 😍⁣ ⁣ It’s just so pretty! To be fair, I don’t think I’d like it as much without the stars. I love a good star/galaxy photo and background. Plus, I’m actually not the biggest fan of photographed people on covers.⁣ 😅 ⁣ What do you like and hate to see on book covers?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ In other news, I finalized all my photos for September (except the wrap up one, of course) and I’m so excited. It’s such a relief to not have to worry about what to post and that frees up spoons to focus on other projects I want to do.
