I haven't done this in a while and I'm usually pretty terrible at it, but it's fun and I'm always curious how people describe their CR with emojis πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Here are mine:
Book 1: πŸ‘‘πŸ¦΄πŸ©ΈπŸŽ

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Okay, maybe those were awful emoji descriptions, but it sure was fun to try and get creative with them πŸ˜‚ And in case you were curious, my books are For the Throne (arc) and Bookish and the Beast πŸ™ˆ

Shot Clock by @justinwritesya and Caron Butler (ARC) is a middle-grade novel all about heart, hope, and of course lots of great basketball πŸ€ This has been the perfect book to read while I watch the NBA conference finals β›ΉπŸΎ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

Do you DNF books? πŸ™…πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
This has been such a controversial topic for so long and I've personally struggled with it A LOT πŸ™ˆ For years, I refused to quit reading a book unless the subject matter was too triggering or frightening for me to handle 🫣 I would even go so far as to read entire series that I literally didn't like, just to see if the books got any better and changed my mind 🧠
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
HOWEVER... this recently changed for me! πŸ™€ This month, I chose to put down four books that weren't serving me - and it was so insanely freeing! 🍾 I felt like a weight was lifted off me, not forcing myself to read things I wasn't into - and while I still might give some books the benefit of the doubt and finish them (some of my favorite books of all time started off with me feeling very so-so about them)... I will no longer be struggling my way through series I'm not enjoying or novels that make me feel uneasy πŸ™ŒπŸΌ 
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Have you ever almost DNF'd a book that you wound up loving? 🀎 Which was it? πŸ“–

What was the last hyped book you read that actuall What was the last hyped book you read that actually did live up to the hype? πŸ’₯
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I'm all about underrated books and try to recommend my faves on a regular basis because I think that they deserve just as much love as the hyped books 🀎 BUT I also enjoy reading my fair share of hyped books (even if they don't always live up to the hype) πŸ™ˆ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
The last few books I read that 100% lived up to the hype were:
🐐 Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez (this book made me feel so seen it was unreal. I wept several times)
πŸͺ· Defy the Night by Brigid Kemmerer (I was so thrilled with how much I enjoyed this fantasy)
πŸ’„ The No-Show by Beth O'Leary (this author is usually a winner for me and her latest release didn't disappoint)
πŸ› The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake (I was unsure for the first 3rd of the book but it wound up being a 5-star read by the end!)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

Do you DNF books? πŸ™…πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
This has been such a controversial topic for so long and I've personally struggled with it A LOT πŸ™ˆ For years, I refused to quit reading a book unless the subject matter was too triggering or frightening for me to handle 🫣 I would even go so far as to read entire series that I literally didn't like, just to see if the books got any better and changed my mind 🧠
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
HOWEVER... this recently changed for me! πŸ™€ This month, I chose to put down four books that weren't serving me - and it was so insanely freeing! 🍾 I felt like a weight was lifted off me, not forcing myself to read things I wasn't into - and while I still might give some books the benefit of the doubt and finish them (some of my favorite books of all time started off with me feeling very so-so about them)... I will no longer be struggling my way through series I'm not enjoying or novels that make me feel uneasy πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

Have you ever almost DNF'd a book that you wound up loving? 🀎 Which was it? πŸ“–

What was the last hyped book you read that actuall What was the last hyped book you read that actually did live up to the hype? πŸ’₯
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I'm all about underrated books and try to recommend my faves on a regular basis because I think that they deserve just as much love as the hyped books 🀎 BUT I also enjoy reading my fair share of hyped books (even if they don't always live up to the hype) πŸ™ˆ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
The last few books I read that 100% lived up to the hype were:
🐐 Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez (this book made me feel so seen it was unreal. I wept several times)
πŸͺ· Defy the Night by Brigid Kemmerer (I was so thrilled with how much I enjoyed this fantasy)
πŸ’„ The No-Show by Beth O'Leary (this author is usually a winner for me and her latest release didn't disappoint)
πŸ› The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake (I was unsure for the first 3rd of the book but it wound up being a 5-star read by the end!)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Are any of these hyped books on your TBR? πŸ“š

What was the last book you purchased for yourself What was the last book you purchased for yourself or got from the library? πŸ“–
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
As you all know very well, I'm not the type of person to purchase books unless I've read them first (my exception being sequels to books I own or authors who never let me down) πŸ™ˆ That being said, I'm pretty picky about which books I DO spend my money on πŸ’³
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I recently did a bit of a haul on #IndependentBookstoreDay to get my hands on some of my favorite books from the past year and I can't wait to have them in my hands soon! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ Below is the list of titles I ordered from my favorite indie shops:
πŸ› The Atlas Six
πŸ‘» Gallant
✨ The Kindred
πŸ“± The Boyfriend Project
πŸ’› Life's Too Short
🎈 All Fired Up (pre-order, since I loved the arc)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Have you read any of these or are any of them on your TBR? πŸ“š
