Goal of this month is to never read the same genre twice in a row!

You know I'm stressed when I'm reading multiple books a day. And just romance. Oh, the situation is dire.

Whoops, I've barely read any books this month. I've just been watching a lot of TV.

My goal for the month is to read one nonfiction book. Any recs? Self-help or psychology or something about the essence of people would be best.

It is definitely time to make some progress on my insanely long TBR.

No romance novels for the next week for me. It's time to lock in >:|

Am I the only one who wants to bring back a table of contents? Why did we stop doing those? They're actually super helpful to look at, and I like knowing where all the chapter breaks are.

Valentine's Week!!!

My tbr finally reached 1500 books, and so it's definitely time to finally make some headway on it. Wish me luck.

You cannot be telling me that in the most crucial moment, she slips on a piece of mud. What the actual f.

How is she still alive on account of being this stupid?

It almost takes skill to be this stupid.

Why does she always just start shit???!? Like why is she so keen to start fights?

Why would she use being engaged as an excuse when she only got engaged after meeting Luther? After feeling things for him? After not wanting to accept Henri's offer? Diem is actually so infuriatingly annoying, I am fuming.

If I have to hear about Blessed Mother Lumnos one more time ...

Unfortunately, I am unaware of what level of self-flagellation is propelling me to continue reading this.

I actually cannot with this.

This is actually such an intense exercise in trying to hold on to my brain cells. I was super generous with my rating of the first book, but I genuinely cannot believe this. I need to keep reading in the same way that you can't help but look at a car accident on the way when you're driving. This is a trainwreck.

This book is not for the weak. The prologue itself is 37 pages.

Thoughts on Romantasy as a new genre?? I'm not sure whether it needs its own category?????

I miss the YA angels and demons era of the 2010s. I need some good YA fantasy right now.

I think it's kind of cool how there are so many genres of books that somehow 'fit' different parts of the year. Like, even though October obviously has Halloween, what else about October makes it so right for horror/mysteries/thrillers?

The problem is I read books too quickly, and good books are not coming out at the same pace that I'm reading them.

I usually take the time to really do my research on a book, read the ratings and reviews, and decide whether I would enjoy it before reading it. This ensures that every book I read is a good use of my time. HOWEVER, I am also known for writing funny reviews for really bad books. So if we have some recs of books that are maybe controversial, I can get my review game going again.

Okay, time to start No Romance May. Yeah, there's no alliteration there, but it is what it is.

I have finally read 1500 books since 2014! Or 1500 unique books, I guess. I've re-read plenty. Also, I have only read romance novels for the entire month of April, so my stress levels have clearly been at an all-time high. (When I'm stressed, I only read romance; when I'm happy and calm, I read everything but romance.) No worries. Hopefully May will be better.

Do people really read nonfiction? And if so, what?

I used to be extremely liberal with my ratings, and then I entered a period where I was super harsh, and now I'm back to being super liberal. And so I find myself really confused when I scroll through all the books I've read.

Please send help. I have read four books today.
