no, i don't think i've ever bought a special edition of a book.

i'll definitely finish kindred by octavia butler, and i also wanna finish paradais by fernanda melchor.

Laurel County wrote: "QOTD: Do you save your longer books for summer or avoid them?"

i just pick them up whenever the mood strikes. often times that tends to actually be fall and winter for whatever reason

Laurel County wrote: "This or That: Are you more likely to pick up a book for the vibes or the hype?"

vibes. a lot of books that get hyped up a bunch aren't stuff i'm typically interested in anyway plot or genre wise

Laurel County wrote: "QOTD: What book are you saving for the right mood or season?"

i'm a big mood reader so there's a lot of books i'm saving for the right mood. i've owned a copy of black sun by rebecca roanhorse forever it feels like and i'm just never in the mood to pick up fantasy

finished: stag dance by torrey peters
