@monkeygirlsmama This was fun to fill out, it helped my analyze my reading habits and such 😊

I used to think I was a fast reader, but I'm more an impatient reader. I make myself read slow now because I realized upon re reading books that I was missing things.
I like sitting against my headboard when I read, and I like to find YouTube ambience videos that fit the theme of the book I'm reading, it really helps me focus.

For me this is a:
10/10 book (the cover art, and whole book, is absolutely beautiful)
10/10 murder mystery
10/10 romance

I love when I can figure out a mystery before the end, but I love it even more when I can't. I was not expecting the twist at the end of this book and I love that this book kept me guessing the entire time.

5feet.of.fury So spooky and pretty, I really liked this one too! 3mo

I enjoyed this book. It's a very interesting story, and I really enjoy the occult/supernatural aspect of the story. I did get a bit impatient with the middle of the book.

I always make big TBR lists for one month despite the fact that I really struggle to read. I put too much pressure on myself to finish books and it triggers my procrastination 😅

So, this is my TBR list:
1. Belladonna
2. Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell
3. We Hunt The Flame
4. Can't Spell Treason Without Tea
5. The Last Heir to the Blackwood Library

And I'm givng myself the rest of the year to read these. Less books, more time, no pressure 📚❤️

Here is my Spooky/Halloween collage!
Some of my favorite spooky movies: Van Helsing, The Brother's Grimm, Crimson Peak, & Hocus Pocus. And despite how easily I get scared, I really enjoy The Dark Pictures Anthology games. I just watch people play them, because I could never 😅
I also included pictures of my tea leaf reading mug, a few of my tarot decks and my tarot journal.

Good Omens became a comfort show for me. I found that when everything felt wrong, watching the show made it all feel better.
So finally reading the book was fun for me, I really enjoyed it. I bounced back and forth between the physical copy I received from @TheDaysGoBy (thank you again❤️), and the audiobook while I was at work.

It's a very fun read, 10/10

Jaws | Peter Benchley

Mehso-so

Jaws was interesting.
Peter Benchley did a great job writing unlikable characters. The parts of the book I enjoyed the most were of the shark. Or as he's called in the book 'The Fish'.
The movie felt like a different story. They changed a considerable amount, and I don't have a problem with that at all. And as always, a jump scare got me even though I knew it was coming.

Book: 4/10
Book 🦈: 10/10
Movie: 6/10
Movie 🦈: 10/10

kplovesbooks Same! ...and I like how you gave the shark it's own separate rating!! 😂 🦈 2y

I love regency era love stories. They are often filled with angst and misunderstandings, and I live for it!
This book is wonderful! I enjoyed all the frustration and struggles that the characters went through to understand their feelings. And I also enjoyed the poetry at the beginning of the chapters.
I have watched the North & South BBC miniseries, it is also very good, but the book is definitely better, as is usual 😆

One of my favorite childhood series!

I remember watching the show on PBS, and it is possible my mom read the first book to me.
This is my first time reading the series since

I highly recommend this book and series. And I recommend The audio books, narrated by the author and a full cast

This book was such an interesting read. I enjoyed it very much. Out of all the mysterious in this book, I only knew one of them, the disappearance of Amelia Earhart.
So many other great mysteries I had never heard of before. Disappearing ships, a missing crew, a sunken treasure ship, and lots more.

I give it a 10/10
