QOTD: How was your October?⁣ ⁣ I’m in a bit of a r QOTD: How was your October?⁣
⁣
I’m in a bit of a reading funk. Not a slump exactly, but definitely not my normal reading habits either.⁣
⁣
I read some good books but I wasn’t really motivated to read.⁣
⁣
I think I’m just so tired and burned out after work that I don’t really have the energy to do anything besides stare at the ceiling. 😩⁣
⁣
But I’m hoping rereading The Naturals, one of my favorite series, along with the newest book, will jump start my reading again.⁣
⁣
Otherwise I might have “tweak” my reading challenge goal. 😅⁣

How is your goodreads goal going?⁣

Thank you so so much @thenovl for this incredible Thank you so so much @thenovl for this incredible package!

Dangerous Impulses is one of my top 2 anticipated reads of 2026 and I still can't believe I can read it early.

I almost threw out my back doing a happy dance after I got the box into the house. 😂

I'm off to continue my reread of The Naturals.

Are you looking forward to any sequels?

The gifted book mail package contains the upcoming YA mystery novel Dangerous Impulses and a themed keychain.]
QOTD: Do you participate in any reading challenges QOTD: Do you participate in any reading challenges?⁣
⁣
I like the idea of them but always have trouble following through.⁣
⁣
Mood reader problems, I guess.⁣
⁣
But I’m going to try @clearursht again this year. I really could use some extra motivation to get through more of my various TBRs, but especially my physical TBR and overdue NetGalley books. 🙈⁣
⁣
Just look at Strike the Zither - I preordered it 4 years ago and still have to read it. 😬⁣
⁣
What book are you ending the month with?⁣

QOTD: Have you read any spooky books this year?⁣ ⁣ QOTD: Have you read any spooky books this year?⁣
⁣
I’m not the biggest fan of horror since they tend to give me too much anxiety to properly enjoying reading them.⁣
⁣
But I do enjoy horror adjacent books aka books with some horror elements but aren’t too scary.⁣
⁣
I’m hoping to finally read Cemetery Boys this year.⁣
⁣
I think I’ve been saying that for YEARS now, but I really mean it this year.

Which is also what I said last year and the year before... 🙈
⁣
Unfortunately, it’s a victim of my seasonal reading mentality. For some reason I feel like I can only read it in October, and so if I don’t get to it by Halloween, I feel like I have to wait until next year to read it.⁣
⁣
But this year, it’ll be different. I’m determined to read it even if Halloween is long past by the time I get to it. 😅⁣
⁣
Are you a seasonal reader?⁣

QOTD: What are some your favorite genre blends?⁣ ⁣ QOTD: What are some your favorite genre blends?⁣
⁣
I don’t think I’ve read a monster romance that’s a romantic comedy, but that’s what Dating & Dismemberment is pitched as.⁣
⁣
It’s such an intriguing combo.⁣
⁣
A little off topic, but can we take a minute to appreciate the pinks and purples on this cover? I feel like it’s one of the few pink books I own.⁣
⁣
What are some of your favorite colors to see on book covers?⁣

⁣
I was pleasantly surprised by Daggermouth. I did NOT see that ending coming!⁣
⁣
It’s been a while since I was that caught off guard which totally makes up for the slow start.⁣
⁣
I can’t wait for the sequel to come out next year!⁣
⁣
Are you looking forward to any sequels in 2027?⁣

QOTD: Do you schedule your reading?⁣ ⁣ I’m testing QOTD: Do you schedule your reading?⁣
⁣
I’m testing out keeping a reading calendar.⁣
⁣
It’s nothing too serious since I’m too much of a mood reader to stick to a reading schedule, but I just needed something to help me get an idea of when to start rereads.⁣
⁣
I got tired of scrambling to read a whole entire series right when the sequel releases.⁣
⁣
So I’m trying to plan ahead this year. Which is why I’m probably going to start my reread of The Naturals series sometime this week.⁣
⁣
Hopefully I’ll finish rereading all four books before my preorder of Dangerous Impulses comes. It shouldn’t be an issue since they’re usually one sitting reads for me, but you never know.⁣
⁣
Are you looking forward to any upcoming sequels?⁣
