I wonder why Germans thought to knot their pretzels 🥨 such a silly little decision is now a iconic hundreds of years later 💭 #RandomThoughts

These are the titles I didn’t get to finish this month 😮‍💨 not DNFing any, just a slow reader 😅

Untethered Sky
The Great Gatsby
Unmasking Autism
The Will of the Many

🎧📚Reading Wrap-up💙📚:

Top read this month was ⭐️Brave New World⭐️ by Aldous Huxley with The Helm of Midnight by Marina Lostetter in a close second😄

All titles completed in January:
✅Brave Nee World
✅The Movement
✅The Helm of Midnight
✅The Tainted Cup
✅If We Were Villains
✅The Lightning Thief

An author like Robin Hobb or Brandon Sanderson is your vibe. I like to read short novels and listen to long series. Helps compensate for my slow reading 😂

Thats awesome, so many books in just 15 days! I’ve finished 6 last month so I guess I’ll need to step it up 😅

Readers I got a question, what is something about literature you wish you knew when you started reading? 💙📚

Mine is prose is not the same thing as voice. Voice is the actually personality of the writer. Prose is written structure without rhyme.

So many little mystery’s still unsolved

Another PR this week: squated 365 lb 💪

PSA: if you’re lifting at or over 315, TAKE THE WEIGHT OFF BOTH SIDES AT A TIME.

First time lifting this heavy and I had the barbell swing off the rack when I took the weight off the right side first😱
Learned a valuable life lesson.

Support your public libraries. 90% of my reads are loans from the public library 💙📚

I’ve been using Libby and I can’t recommend it enough. Using the app supports your local library🏫 and makes reading convient. Huge selection of audio books too 😉🎧📚

libbyapp.com

That’s cool, I have a couple horror novels in the TBR like The Winter People.

You have any thriller recommendations? That and romance are probably my least read genres 😅

Thanks, I’ll check these out! This whole curated feed thing has a bit of a learning curve 😅

BookTok refugees, what feeds we following 💙📚

Am I the only one whose reading timeline is vibe heavy? Like I pick my next book based on whatever mood strikes me

Life sucks: 1984 👁️
Valentines coming up: The Nightmare Before Kissmas
In my Roman Empire phase: SPQR
Feeling academic: Babel

Do you stick to one reading lane?

The Wolf Den by Elodie Harper

This was my first exploration into historical fiction and I was pleasantly surprised. The story balances tragic reality with moments of joy and normality. I’m excited to read its sequels soon 📚
