Just the thought of continuing reading this is giving me HEAVY anxiety

One of StoryGraphs “Onboarding Challenge 2026” categories is to read a book that one of my mutuals on either Goodreads/StoryGraph has rated 4 stars. This book has been on my TBR for a long time because of the immense hype it gets - which is also why I’ve avoided it. I’m expecting to be disappointed (as I usually stay away from YA), but hopefully I’ll be proven wrong.

I've stopped caring about the story, but I feel like I've come too far to DNF

This book really doesn't need to be this long...

"Leo's eyes - dark, remote, and Chinese - suddenly cleared." (p. 693). How many times does King need to write that the kid has Chinese eyes? It's getting ridiculous lol

“She was short, pretty in a vague Sandra Dee sort of way, and her breasts pointed at him perkily without a sign of a sag… [---] Her breasts jiggled fetchingly…” 😐 (p. 86)

Am I only reading one chapter of this? Yes. Will I still add it to my read books bookshelf? Also yes.

Man this book is so long, I'm feeling intimidated 😭😭

I'm really in the mood for some fantasy, so I grabbed a random book from the fantasy shelf at my local library. It'll be fun to go into this completely blind! Hopefully I don't feel disappointed :)

I'm currently reading a book that's not on Goodreads. It's called "Det första levnadsårets psykologi" by author Anne-Marit Duve. It's about the first year of life and the baby's psychological functions. 152 pages.

This book is SOOOO sloww

THIS is the book I'm supposed to be reading for uni right now

I'm putting this book on paus right now, as I've mistaken this for course literature (it's not, but it's still relevant to my current subject.). I have to prioritise other books right now :/

"We are interested in studying the social and sexual intercourse between normal men like yourself and homosexual men." (p. 200). Really 😐

"'Love him,' said Jacques, with vehemence, 'love him and let him love you. Do you think anything else under heaven really matters?'" (p. 57).

Ready to get my heart broken (again)
