I read lots of books from the library, last year I read 100 books.

Harrow the Ninth by Tamsin Muir, which is the second book of The Locked Tomb books. This book is about and talks about it without talking about it at all

Eban Fray wrote: 6 Dec 2025, 01:55And how many books have you started on?

I read 3 books at a time.

Eban Fray wrote: 6 Dec 2025, 01:55Or are you a mood reader? that you start on one book, but sudenly the mood shift so that book doesn't fit the mood, so you have to find the book that fit more that mood, if you get what I mean?

When I have a very big problem, I will read the book that I know will help me. Like medicine.

Eban Fray wrote: 6 Dec 2025, 01:55You have probably some books that are did not finish pile, because the book wasn't what you hoped. And what is yours?

This year I DNF'ed about 30 books, most of them because there wasn't a good connection to the main character and I didn't care about what happened to them or what they were going to do. Other big reads that I dropped were The Shadow of the Gods, The Poppy War, and the Daughter's War which all had the same issues and were just too slow for me; I desperately wanted to like them but just couldn't anymore. The Secret History by Tartt I enjoyed deeply but I have to DNF near the end because the feelings and rampant drug use were causing me to nearly have panic attacks and my mental health is too precious for that.

I wasn't able to finish Iron Flame and DNF'ed it 3 times this year, it just needs more editing for pacing issues.

Which one is that?

What books surprised you with how good they were?

Which books are you telling your friends about?

Are there any books you read every now and then, for example, there is a book you end up reading every year?

Which book are you looking forward to the most?

The one from Andrew Joseph White book that I didn't finished is called But I don't know if I'm gonna finnish that book at all, but it is another book I have in thoughts of having on my DNF is the book Alchemised, maybe I have to come over the dry part before it getting interesting.

What books surprised you with how good they were?

That must be these two books "they both die at the end" and "the first to die at the end" that is the books that is for now I feel I can say they suprised me over how good they were. but also how sad they ended, especually the first one, even so it says in the tittle thet they both die at the end, he had wrote it the way, that you hoped at the end that they both gonna live, but ended up dying anyways.
Also the second one "the first who die at the end" is about illness that I relate to, but also how you already know from almost the beginning who is gonna die, but you don't know how. But still it was sad book, even so you knew how it would end. But would it be like the first one, that suddenly they both die or only one of them would die.

But also "For whom the Belle tolds" By Jaysea Lynn is a book that was so good to read, I couldn't stop reading it.

Which books are you telling your friends about?

That must be these two books "they both die at the end" and "the first to die at the end" cause of how exiting but sad they are,

But also I talkes about "for whom the Belle tolds" by Jassea Lynn is a book I could reccomend and talks with my friends about.

Are there any books you read every now and then, for example, there is a book you end up reading every year?

Not yet, but I have few books that I wanna re read again. But before, when I was younger, I had Harry potter series that I re-read every time I wanted to read something comfy.

But now, I haven't gotten to that book that I feel like to read every now and then exept that one I want to re-read and that "the first who die at the end" and maybe "pen pal" by J. C Geissinger.
and the book "for whom the belle tolls" by Jassea Lynn that got newly reliease so that book must be re-read again over how fun and sad that book is.
So yeah I might have some books that I could come back to re-read again that I come over now.

Which book are you looking forward to the most?

hmm, that must be Balance of Vanum some of the books in my advent calendar that I haven't opened yet. That I have no clue of what I got. exept the six books that I have opened so far.
So far I'm exiting to read those books. One of them is called Hooked.




But which book are you scared to finish or start reading?

For me it must be "haunting adeline" especually how dark it can go.

Last year I read about 200 hundred books from my library (not counting the ones that I read that were mine).

My favorite book is probably, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire".
There is also Eragon. I am in the middle of reading The third book in the Eragon series, "Brisingr".

I read random books in the Harry Potter series every know and again, I am currently rereading the series.

Michael Vey surprised me on how good it was, second favorite book series. My favorite book out of the series is the last book (the tenth book), "The Colony".

I always got and on about the Harry Potter books (best series in the world).

I am looking forward to "Inheritance", which is the last book in the Inheritance Cycle (aka the Eragon series).

Honestly I am scared to reread Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix", not because it is scary (I hate scary books, and scary movies). I am scared to read it since it is the longest book in the series and it is my least favorite book in the series, but alas I'll read it if I have to. Since I want to reread all of the Harry Potter books.

I haven't gotten around to read Eragon series, even so it is on my TBR list. But I have so many other books that I have to go through first. So how is Eragon series? Is it any good?

Even so I Have like almost 6 books that I have started on, maybe even more? I lost track over how many books I have started reading without finishing them.

But I haven't got to read Michael Vey either I think .

I read a lot of books, usually finishing about 9-15 a week. I read YA books and sometimes really niche ones I just find somewhere.
My favorite series are probably:
-Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children
-The Stoker and Homles novels ( superrrr niche but SUPERLATIVE!)
-Caraval
-Inheritance games
-The Naturals
I'm also an author ( unpublished) myself!

Ever since college started, I haven't really had the time to sit down and read with much passion, but I'm trying to get back into my old habit of reading physical books!

I don't really have a favourite, but I remember reading historical fiction books at the start of last year such as "The Garden of Evening Mists
Novel" by Tan Twan Eng and quite enjoying it!

In regards to how many books I have read this year, I suppose... Two, if we only count reading for leisure. I aim to read at least five books for fun by the end of this year though I finally picked up a playbook named "The Changeling" written by Thomas Middleton and William Rowley that I've been curious about for a long time. I haven't been reading much, but I didn't expect a Jacobean tragedy to be so humourous and interesting.

It's very inspiring to see everyone so passionate about reading
