QOTD: Do you have any signed books?⁣ ⁣ I used to c QOTD: Do you have any signed books?⁣
⁣
I used to collect them when I was in college and it was easier to go to author events and book signings.⁣
⁣
I still love them, but they’ve become harder to get now that I’m living with the soul sucking vampire known as my 9-to-5 job. 😅⁣
⁣
Furyborn will probably always be one of my favorite signed editions. Claire Legrand’s handwriting is so pretty!⁣
⁣
It’s been 8 years and I still need to read this one, though. 🙈⁣
⁣
In my defense, I was waiting for the series to be completed and got distracted.⁣
⁣
Do you prefer to binge read series or read them as them come out?⁣

QOTD: What are you reading or hoping to read this QOTD: What are you reading or hoping to read this week?⁣
⁣
Happy belated release day to Dangerous Impulses! 🎉 I still can’t believe this book exists!⁣
⁣
I fell in love with The Naturals series back in 2018, when the first four books were considered a complete series. Never did I imagine my favorite series would be getting a new addition 8 years later.⁣
⁣
It’s funny how some stories stick with you. I can barely remember the name of the main character of the book I just finished, but can tell you the exact date I read The Naturals for the first time.

The series was so good, I binge read it on vacation. I squeezed reading time in whenever I could. On car rides, on the plane, waiting in line at the convivence store… I was obsessed.⁣
⁣
And not many mystery series hold up on rereads when you already know what’s coming and are ready for the plot twists. But The Naturals does.⁣
⁣
I'm really excited to read Dangerous Impulses and spend more time with some of my favorite characters.⁣
⁣
Do you have a favorite series you can’t get enough of?⁣

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?

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?⁣

⁣
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?⁣
