... Read moreHave you ever felt the exhilarating joy of finally finishing a book from your TBR (To Be Read) list? Many avid readers experience this thrill, often sharing their emotional journeys as they dive into new stories. The recent trend of BookTok has transformed how we discover books; readers are now sharing their experiences on social media platforms, creating a vibrant dialogue around recent reads. For those unfamiliar with TBR lists, they serve as a personalized blueprint for your reading goals, making it easier to keep track of books you aspire to enjoy. Incorporating popular hashtags like #booktok and #TBR connects us with like-minded readers, allowing for the exchange of recommendations and insights. Whether you’re swiping through BookTok for inspiration or fostering deeper conversations about impactful literature, these platforms have become community hubs that celebrate the love for reading. As readers, we often discuss the emotional connections we form with characters and how those journeys resonate with our own lives. Each book has the potential to transport us to another world, sparking imagination and discussions about life, love, and personal growth. Furthermore, exploring genres like fiction, non-fiction, mystery, and fantasy broadens our perspectives. With every closing chapter, we not only complete a book but also embrace new ideas and revelations. Sharing our reading journeys enhances the experience, as discussing complex characters or plot twists with friends can lead to deeper appreciation and understanding of the narratives. So, what titles are waiting on your TBR list? Let’s come together in this literary community and celebrate the beauty of reading.

things I did when I first started reading
things I did when I first started reading and reviewing books that I will never do again 1️⃣ buying a bunch of books WITHOUT reading the back. simply went off vibes and called it good. to be fair they were all thrillers, so basically you know what you get HAHA 2️⃣ refusing to try other genres

I’ve just started reading queering your craft
Queering your craft witchcraft from the margins by Cassandra snow is turning out to be a wonderful read so far. Definitely my favorite witchcraft book. As a nonbinary lesbian I’ve always felt queer witchcraft was lacking despite so many of us being queer. Turns out Cassandra thought so too! #lesbi
