QOTD: Do you review books?⁣
⁣
I’m trying to get back into writing actual reviews instead of just scribbling down notes in my reading journal.⁣
⁣
I'm trying to revive my book blog, but it’s harder than I remember - unless I’m passionate about the story, I feel like all I have to say is whether or not I enjoyed it.⁣
⁣
And when I’m passionate, it just turns into a longwinded rant. 😅⁣
⁣
Do you have any tips on writing reviews?⁣

QOTD: What are some your favorite retellings?⁣
⁣
I have a soft spot for Romeo and Juliet retellings in general, but One for My Enemy is by far my favorite one I’ve read.⁣
⁣
It’s such a captivating read, full of emotions.⁣
⁣
And the angst!⁣
⁣
I may or may not have spent the entire day just obsessed with finishing this book.⁣
⁣
Do you have any recommendations for angsty reads?⁣

QOTD: Do you have any comfort reads?⁣
⁣
I think I read myself into another reading slump. 😓⁣
⁣
I read a TON the last two weeks, but now I’ve been “DNFing” like crazy.⁣
⁣
I’ve picked up like 6 different books and decided not to continue reading any of them.⁣
⁣
So, back to a comfort read, I go.⁣
⁣
I’m thinking of watching XO, Kitty, so I might reread To All the Boys first. ⁣
⁣
Do you finish every book you start?⁣

QOTD: Do you have any bookish related anxieties?⁣
⁣
One of my biggest reading related anxieties is lending my books to friends and family.⁣
⁣
For some reason, they rarely come back in the same condition they left. 😭⁣
⁣
To be fair, I really shouldn’t be talking - I’m sure I’ve left a couple of cheeto stains in some of my own books. 😅⁣
⁣
Do you let people borrow your books?⁣

QOTD: What’s a sequel you’re excited to read?⁣
⁣
I CANNOT wait to read the sequel to Shield of Sparrows!⁣
⁣
I was lucky enough to receive an ARC from @redtowerbooks but that lowkey means I have to wait even longer for the next book.⁣
⁣
I NEED to know what happens next!⁣
⁣
I highly recommend this if you’re looking for a slow burn romantasy with some interesting plot twists.⁣

QOTD: What’s your favorite series in your favorite genre?⁣
⁣
One of my favorites is the Guild Hunter series by Nalini Singh!⁣
⁣
You can tell how much I love it by the fact that I’m up to date with it, even 16+ books in.⁣
⁣
Normally, I’m terrible at keeping up with new releases, but I’m willing to put in some more effort to keep track of new sequels like signing up for author newsletters and adding the release date to ALL my calendars.⁣
⁣
How do you keep track of ongoing series?⁣

QOTD: What reading stats do you track?⁣
⁣
The benefit of not having a great reading month or quarter is that it’s much easier to catch up on updating your reading journal.⁣
⁣
I’m still playing around with my journal.⁣
⁣
I really want to have a physical log of my reads, reviews, and some stats this year, but it’s definitely harder to maintain than logging books into Storygraph and jogging a few thoughts down there.⁣
⁣
Plus, there’s no spell check or delete button to correct my spelling and any other errors.⁣
⁣
Whoops.⁣
⁣
Do you prefer digital or physical?⁣
