do we have the same taste in books?

1/20 Edited to

... Read moreAs an avid reader, I find it thrilling to compare book tastes with others and discover new favorites through challenges like this one. I especially enjoy seeing the mix of genres in the list such as contemporary romance, thrillers, and fantasy from bestselling authors like Ali Hazelwood, Holly Black, and Ana Huang. Scoring points for reading or having books on my TBR encourages me to stay engaged with my reading goals. A great way to enhance this experience is by organizing your own reading challenge inspired by this popular point system—giving yourself 10 points for books read and 5 points for those on your TBR list. It adds a fun competitive edge and motivates steady progress through piles of unread books. I've found that tracking books by hashtags like #booksoflemon8, #tbr, and #reading on platforms such as Lemon8 or TikTok helps me connect with others who share similar interests. It’s rewarding to receive recommendations and discuss books ranging from The Housemaid by Chelsea Curto to Wild Lyla by Sage. This community-driven approach enriches the reading journey and opens doors to genres and authors I might otherwise miss. Sharing your favorite titles, whether they are new releases or timeless classics, helps build a vibrant reading culture. Plus, it keeps our literary tastes evolving together. So, do you have some must-reads or hidden gems in your TBR? Let’s find out if our book tastes align!

Do we have the same taste in books?
10 points if you’ve read it, 5 points if it’s on your TBR! The first slide, in no certain order, is full of my favorites. “The Night Circus” influenced the steampunk fantasy my husband and I are writing, and “The Spellshop” inspired my cozy fantasies. Let me know how many points you got! 24

do we have the same taste in books?? are we bffs??
I keep seeing this trend on tiktok and i am prone to fomo so you know i had to join in!! You get 10 points if you’ve read the book, 5 if it’s on your TBR! I have read every single book on these slides (except for the TBR slide, because duh) and several of them are some of my personal favorites.

Must have books to learn manipulation
I’ll be real—before reading these books, I thought manipulation was just something villains did in movies. Turns out, we’re ALL being manipulated daily, whether it’s by ads, politicians, or even our own friends (yikes) 😬 After reading these, I felt lowkey enlightened and slightly paranoid 🤯 But

This was my 2024 reading recap! My goal was 37, but considering it was the first year I even made a goal, I came pretty close with 32! Did you read any of the same books as I did? Do we have the same taste in books? What was your reading goal this year? I’m upping mine to 40 next year ☺️📚 #

controversial and banned books to read ❌📖
i’ve been looking a lot into banned and challenged books and what that exactly means. when a book is banned, that means that it has been removed from a collection (something like a library or state) due to a challenge to its content, morals, or themes. have any of you read any of these? what did

Books to break bad habits
You ever catch yourself doing the same bad habits over and over, even when you KNOW they’re bad? 🤦‍♀️ Scrolling for hours, procrastinating, eating junk food, staying up late—been there, done that. And every time, I’d tell myself, *“I’ll stop tomorrow.”* Spoiler: I didn’t 😅 Then I picked up these

I’ll never be the same after these books
Ever finished a book and just sat there, staring into space, completely mind blown? Yeah, me too. There's something about stories that can twist your reality, make you question everything, and leave you feeling a little unhinged in the best way possible. I've always been drawn to books

The most intellectually stimulating books ever
Books I learned a lot from 🙂 “I cannot remember the books I’ve read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson Some books are like intellectual workouts, they pushhhhh you. And make you realize how much you don’t know. But that’s the beauty of it.
