Curious how people discover their next read. Do you start with genre, author, length, cover art, questionable recommendations, reviews, or something else entirely? 💙📚

Wow! I can't go past 3. And one of them would be an audiobook.

Do ratings actually influence what you read next? 💙📚

Absolutely. When I'm asked about my first books read, I tend to forget to mention these since they aren't traditional novels but they really might be some of my first reading.

I have all of the original editions of these books somewhere in the house I grew up in.... I've been thinking about these recently! The original covers were just so incredible, and still hold up to this day. As a kid I used to stare at them in stores until I could save up enough to buy the next one.

Do you read multiple books at once? Do you get details mixed up? 💙📚

At normal speed! I've been tempted to speed up but if I'm genuinely enjoying the narrator it's not an issue. I'm usually already doing other things while listening so I can't risk missing any story beats...and going back is a hassle 😅

How many pages/chapters do you give a book before deciding if it’s working for you? 💙📚

What’s a book you kept putting off, finally read, and then immediately regretted waiting so long because it turned out to be fantastic? 💙📚

Do you actively work through your reading backlog, or do you mostly add books to it and hope for the best?
