QOTD: Is there a series you hope will be continued QOTD: Is there a series you hope will be continued?⁣ ⁣ I’ve been hoping for more books in The Naturals series ever since I read them for the first time in 2018.⁣ ⁣ And I can’t believe that wish will be coming true in November.⁣ ⁣ I’ve been refreshing the Goodreads page every day to make sure I’m not hallucinating.⁣ ⁣ The only downside is that I can no longer talk myself out of not buying the new editions, and especially not the new special editions.⁣ ⁣ My slightly mismatched series kind of bugs me, but never enough for me to hunt down the first edition hardcover of The Naturals.⁣ ⁣ But now that the new book will be totally mismatched? I don’t think I have the willpower to resist. 😅⁣ ⁣ Do mismatched series bother you?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Image description: The four books of the YA mystery series, The Naturals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #booklover #bookishlove #bookishpost #bookwormlife #readersofinstagram
QOTD: Do you use bookish maps while reading?⁣ ⁣ I QOTD: Do you use bookish maps while reading?⁣ ⁣ I sometimes do. Usually when I remember it exists or if I get all confused about the directions.⁣ ⁣ Otherwise, I’m often too engrossed in the story to flip back to the map, especially since I read a lot ebooks - the maps aren’t as easy to see/use there.⁣ ⁣ But regardless, they’re always so pretty.⁣ ⁣ What are some of your favorite bookish features included in books?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Image description: The YA fantasy novel, We Hunt the Flame by Hafsah Faizal.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #AllTheBooksMar26 [Map Monday]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #bookphotography #booksofinsta #goodreads #yabookstagrammer
QOTD: Did you find any new favorites in February?⁣ QOTD: Did you find any new favorites in February?⁣ ⁣ I’ve just been mostly rereading the Guild Hunter series so no new favorites for me.⁣ ⁣ March will be an interesting month - it’s one of the busiest and most chaotic months at work. And so I tend to either read a lot (to cope with the stress) or not read at all (because my eyes are too tired and/or I’m too stressed). 😅⁣ ⁣ Do you notice any trends in your reading?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Video description: Updating my reading journal for February.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #readingjournal #booksonbooks #readinggoals #lovereading #loveofreading
QOTD: How do you decide whether to DNF a book?⁣ ⁣ QOTD: How do you decide whether to DNF a book?⁣ ⁣ I DNF pretty often - there’s just too many books to read to keep reading one you’re not enjoying.⁣ ⁣ But most of my DNFs are usually before I get through the first 5 chapters (basically a sample) or by accident (returned to library before I can finish). 😅⁣ ⁣ I don’t usually consciously decide to DNF, but I’m lowkey thinking about it for Dragon Cursed.⁣ ⁣ It’s weird, because I’m about a third in and it’s not like I’m not enjoying it… it’s just that I’m not really that invested in it either.⁣ ⁣ Maybe I’m just in a reading slump. 🤷🏻‍♀️⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ [Image description: The young adult fantasy novel, Dragon Cursed by Elise Kova.]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #AllTheBooksMar26 [did not finish (dnf)]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #bookblog #bookhoarder #bookgirl #yafiction
QOTD: How was your February?⁣ ⁣ I feel like it fle QOTD: How was your February?⁣ ⁣ I feel like it flew by. I know it’s a short month, but it felt really short.⁣ ⁣ I had a pretty good reading month, even though it started slow and slump-ish.⁣ ⁣ By the end, I managed to make a lot of progress on my Guild Hunter reread so now I’m a little ahead of schedule. ⁣ ⁣ Which is good, since I was unexpectedly approved to read Archangel’s Eternity on NetGalley. I had to log into NetGalley 3 times to believe it. I really didn’t think I’d get approved (it’s a Berkley title!), so here’s your reminder to shoot your shot.⁣ ⁣ What are you looking forward to in March?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #bookgeek #bookworm #readeveryday #bookreaders #readingstagram
