You can’t tell me he wouldn’t be the perfect Azriel!

I just feel like Neil Newbon would make a perfect Azriel because he does really good at playing the dark and mysterious guys.

I mean have you seen that Kia commercial?!

This thought has been brought to you by:

Me debating on rereading the first two ACOTAR books so I can finish the series.

I had to do the same thing with TOG and it went from being a possible unhaul to one of my favorite series of all time.

Maybe it’ll be the series I focus on for 2025. 🤷🏻

Anyone wanna buddy read? 😂

Starting the Scottish Prisoner by Diana Gabaldon

I really want to get back to reading for fun.

Over the years of being on/watching BookTube, Bookstagram, and BookTok I’ve really started to put pressure on my self to try and be the type of person who has like ten books in their monthly wrap up.

But that’s just not me.

I found myself picking books up only to put them down if I didn’t feel like I was reading them fast enough.

I then realized that

1) I wasn’t finishing anything

2) I wasn’t reading any of the books I really wanted to because they were all to huge and would take me to long.(As if there is a deadline.)

I kept telling myself ‘oh you’re just in a slump, you’ll get back to reading the way you used to eventually.’

Then I thought about it. I’d made reading out to be a job. I took the fun out if it and then made myself not want to do it anymore.

However the past couple of days I’ve come to the realization that I do still love reading and want to read. I just need to stop putting pressure on myself. This isn’t a contest there’s no prize for who can read the most.

Who cares if I take a month to read a 200pg book?

Who cares if I don’t read anything at all?

It doesn’t matter. I just need to find the joy in it again.

Decided to make a reading journal. This is kind of what the pages will look like. This is for my current reread of Red Rising by Pierce Brown.

Reading a book characters name wrong:

Wait, what do you mean it's MORTMAIN and not MORTIMAN well it's to late to change it now!(Mortmain is a Character from The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare.)

I've reread this book countless times since I was in middle school what do you mean her last name is LINDSTROM and not LINDSTORM. This is madness!(Lindstrom is a character from Through Violet Eyes by Stephen Woodworth.)
