QOTD: What’s on your TBR?⁣ ⁣ I don’t usually set a QOTD: What’s on your TBR?⁣
⁣
I don’t usually set a TBR (I’m too much of a mood reader to really follow them), but I’m feeling kind of overwhelmed. And the only way to really ease that feeling is to make a plan.⁣
⁣
There’s just too many options (and deadlines) and I’m feeling the pressure (that only really exists in my head).⁣ 😅
⁣
I’ve been neglecting my physical TBR, and I have NetGalley books to read and review, and a bunch of Libby holds came in and others expected to be available soon and...⁣
⁣
And to make things worse, my mood is not cooperating and is refusing to plainly describe what I’m in the mood for.⁣
⁣
I guess it’s time to play the guessing game aka see which book I find interesting enough to read past chapter 5.⁣
⁣
How do you decide what to read?⁣

QOTD: What are some of your favorite tropes?⁣ ⁣ I QOTD: What are some of your favorite tropes?⁣
⁣
I love second chance romance and enemies (or rivals) to lovers and The Blonde Who Came in From the Cold has both.⁣
⁣
It’s a fun read, especially if you’re looking for spy themed romcom with high(er) stakes.⁣
⁣
But I enjoyed the first book, The Blonde Identity, more.⁣

QOTD: How was your March?⁣ ⁣ March is always a bit QOTD: How was your March?⁣
⁣
March is always a bit of a rollercoaster for me since it’s the last month of the fiscal year at work.⁣
⁣
But overall, it was a pretty decent month, even though I did fall into a bit of a reading slump near the end.⁣
⁣
My March:⁣
⁣
📚 read what’ll probably be my favorite book of the year (Archangel’s Eternity)⁣
⁣
🖤 met up with friends in NYC⁣
⁣
🎭 saw the Chess revival on Broadway (vocals were vocaling)⁣

QOTD: Do you have a dream vacation destination?⁣ ⁣ QOTD: Do you have a dream vacation destination?⁣
⁣
Japan is pretty high up on my bucket list and I would love to visit someday.⁣
⁣
It was fun to get a little glimpse of it in Tokyo Ever After.⁣
⁣
I wish I could say I can’t believe it took me 5 whole years to read it, but tbh that’s pretty on par for my physical tbr. 🙈⁣
⁣
It’s such a cute read! ⁣
⁣
I’m still debating if I want to read the sequel, though. I feel like it works as a standalone.⁣

QOTD: Favorite books with yearning?⁣ ⁣ Honestly, t QOTD: Favorite books with yearning?⁣
⁣
Honestly, the yearning and the angst is why second chance romance is one of my favorite tropes.⁣
⁣
Especially when they’re written well enough to hit in the feels.⁣
⁣
And Rewind It Back definitely hit the mark for me - it was one of my favorite books of 2025.⁣
⁣
What’s one of your favorites from last year?⁣
