Well, I lasted two days. Already reading a book not on my physical tbr. πŸ’™πŸ“š

It's official! First-Time Caller by B.K. Borison is my first five-star read of 2025! This book is so unbelievably charming. Everything about this worked for me, and I can't wait to annoy everyone I know by recommending this book until they give in and read it! πŸ’™πŸ“š

This book has just surprised me in a way no other book has! I could see the miscommunication trope coming from a mile away and the main character smacked it away and had an honest conversation! I'm swooning! πŸ’™πŸ“š

Anyone else feel like how they rate their books is majorly influenced by right place right time? I swear the first book I read after a slump is always a five star read and I can't tell if it takes a five star read to get me out of the slump or I just desperately love what I happen to read first. πŸ’™πŸ“š

Ooh another rule to tackle my book slump: I must read from my physical tbr, it's up to 19 books πŸ™ˆ

New strategy for overcoming my book slump: I can only read one book at a time. We'll see how that goes πŸ’™πŸ“š

Finally reading something that has hooked me! About 80 pages into First-Time Caller and really enjoying it! πŸ’™πŸ“š

Oh! And I've been too busy playing No Man's Sky and Hello Kitty Island Adventure to read

But! My book of the month box arrives today filled with four books I desperately want to read, crossing my fingers I can pull myself out of the slump

Well I've been super inactive online and haven't finished a book in weeks, I'm officially in a slump

My patience has paid off, I've officially signed my offer letter for my new job!

Well, my daily stress levels have almost ruined my will to read, but I have been spending all of my free time playing No Man's Sky and all I can say is wow

This week started on a high with some great news but I now must engage every ounce of patience in my body. Unfortunately there's actually not that much to draw on

Unfortunately just had my first official dnf of the year. All I will say is that it had about 15 too many pop culture references and I just couldn't take it anymore. πŸ’™πŸ“š

When the 4 Non Blondes said β€œAnd so I wake in the morning and I step outside, and I take a deep breath and I get real high and I scream from the top of my lungs WHAT’S GOIN ON?!” I really felt that.

Saw a video today about how laying down as soon as you get home from work kills any motivation to do things at home. I can't express just how happy I was to get home and destroy my motivation. I'll be horizontal until further notice.

One of the longest work weeks of my life is officially over. Deep breaths.

Additional landscapes.

gonna get a tiny bit sentimental here but thank you to all who have been interacting with me on this app since the whole TT bs went down, I really have found a safe and fun space here to just exist. Really have helped keep myself semi-sane and not spiral with anxiety πŸ’œπŸ«ΆπŸΌπŸ«°πŸΌ #booksky

The universe has rewarded me! My library hold on the book I didn't buy yesterday just suddenly became available! πŸ’™πŸ“š

Discovering that you can sort your books tagged as TBR on libby by what is available is about to change my life πŸ’™πŸ“š

And now, I perform my greatest trick: desperately searching for my next read before the book slump sets in! πŸ’™πŸ“š

I finished Like Real People Do! I can't say enough about how much I loved this! Had me swooning, crying, and laughing all in 400 pages. It's ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for me simply because I've committed to doing only whole star ratings this year, otherwise it would have been a 4.5 read. Highly recommend! πŸ’™πŸ“š
