on todays episode of “there aren’t enough hours in the day to read all of the books i want”

May wrap up

Once again it is time for bed (aka reading time), and I finished the book I was reading last night and forgot to select a new one today. Time to stand forlornly in front of my shelves.

How much of a mood reader are you?

Because I was assigned the Song of Achilles for a class in college.

I’d heard of the book. I had all the necessary mythology background from a childhood obsessed with the subject. I’ve read the Illiad. Hell, it was ALREADY on my tbr

Yet, I looked at this book that might as well been written for me and said no. I want to read that later when i can ‘enjoy it better’.

I BSed my way through two quizzes, four discussion boards, and a paper with a skimmed sparknotes summary and general knowledge of the mythos

It is only now three years later that I decided to pick it up from the library on a whim

It’s great. Why did I do all that work to avoid reading it? It’s not even taking that long. I’m like 200 pages in and I started yesterday

Having the urge to reread a book and it's only a novella so you finish it in a few hours is like the best feeling

Borrowing more and more books I want to read from the library like it’ll fix all my problems

[futchbookslut]

One thing about me is I'm gonna start a new book before finishing the last five I started

[lea-reads-sometimes]

I have to read Jane Eyre for a class at uni. It's not bad, but I'm a horrible mood reader and haven't been able to get myself to read it. I'm on page 42 (of 521) and have to be finished next week. So, I'm using this to motivate myself to actually start:D I'll check back tonight with my progress (that I'll hopefully have managed by then) 📚🙏

Fuck it, I am nothing if not a mood reader so I put down Year of Rest in favor of this little cannibal love story ;;what can I say, I’m hungry 🤷‍♀️

We talk Nic's book taste, which is a liiiittle hard to pin down since they are such a mood reader! We give some tips on how to pick your next book if you also struggle with mood reading as well as discussing the themes that Nic enjoys across any genre.

If you want to read Nic's book reviews, you can check out their Storygraph account. We also have a video about their favs so far this year coming out later this week, so stay tuned!

This video was too powerful to upload directly to Tumblr, so we've brought it over from Youtube so it'd still be play-able right here. If you'd rather watch on TikTok, click here! While you are there, you can check out our other videos.

Also as a PSA: if you hate TikTok but don't want to wait for our videos to be brought over to Tumblr, you can also follow us on Youtube.
