There’s nothing quite like getting to spend a slow Saturday morning reading with your pets. As we settle more and more into cold weather, Nessie gets cuddlier and cuddlier. Even though the winter months can suck, I’ll gladly take extra cuddling and reading time any day.

Weekly Bookish Question #493 (May 24th - May 30th, 2026)
When does a book have too many characters?
When you can’t remember who’s who and they all feel the same.
definitely sounds like a case of too many characters!
Weekly Bookish Question #493 (May 24th - May 30th, 2026)
When does a book have too many characters?
i think my answer is: when they don't all add something to moving the story forward
characters are, first and foremost, tools of storytelling, so they've gotta have a reason for being there. when i started reading Stephen King's longer novels, where he gives you the perspective of some random person in town, it took me a while to see what he was doing. but he was using them to give the reader information the main characters didn't have, which added a lot to the horror experience
i cannot think of an example of too many characters coz i usually dnf those 😅 but there we go
yeah, that sounds reasonable - though sometimes I do think that some things characters add to a story could have been added by/spread across fewer characters and it could cause fewer distraction of the "who was that again?" variety
Frog.

Weekly Bookish Question #493 (May 24th - May 30th, 2026)
When does a book have too many characters?
When it makes me take out a pen and paper and start making a character list.
whoa :D I love picture answers, that's awesome (even though it means that there were too many characters in this book, haha)
Weekly Bookish Question #493 (May 24th - May 30th, 2026)
When does a book have too many characters?
When even the author can't remember the details about all their characters (looking at you, George R. R. Martin).
yup, that sounds reasonable!
Weekly Bookish Question #494 (May 31st - June 6th, 2026)
If you could have a special edition of one of your favorite books made, what would definitely have to be part of its design?
The question hidden within enemies-to-lovers is “who will love me at my worst?”, the question hidden within friends-to-lovers is “who will love me at my most mundane?”, hope this helps

Weekly Bookish Question #492 (May 17th - May 23rd, 2026)
Do you think you’d have any withdrawal symptoms if you suddenly had to stop reading books? What might they be?
I read before bed every night. It helps calm my brain. My sleep would be majorly impacted if I had to stop.
oof, that's a tough one! nobody wants their sleep impacted (negatively)!
Weekly Bookish Question #492 (May 17th - May 23rd, 2026)
Do you think you’d have any withdrawal symptoms if you suddenly had to stop reading books? What might they be?
I suspect I'd be jittery and bored, since when brain goes "crap I have nothing to do, how should I spend the next (x amount of time)" the answer is: read a book.
tricky! but at some point you'd probably find a different activity to replace reading with...
I last read...
From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout
what I wanted: to check this out because a student recommended it to me
what I got: an intriguing start but some annoyances as the book went on
what I thought: That certainly was a wild ride. What I liked about this book is that it sometimes surprised me by not going where I thought it would go. At the same time, I was sometimes quite frustrated with the main character (to be fair - she is quite young, but still) and the writing style (if it draws negative attention to itself, that's never a good sign). Overall, I'm feeling too conflicted about it to pick up the next book in the series and I rate this 3 out of 5 daggers carefully hidden on the main character's body.
Weekly Bookish Question #492 (May 17th - May 23rd, 2026)
Do you think you’d have any withdrawal symptoms if you suddenly had to stop reading books? What might they be?
Being pissed off 24/7.
that would really suck! (for both you and the people around you)

Weekly Bookish Question #491 (May 10th - May 16th, 2026)
What is your most common reason for DNF-ing a book?
the writing style
the characters
the plot / content
a combination of factors
just not vibing with it, without a specific reason
something about the layout
other
see results
Voting "other" though it could also count as a character issue: when it's clear right from the start that we're dealing with an unreliable narrator here in a way that feels overdone.
Option one: everything is too whimsical, making it impossible for me to build any clear picture of what is happening and why.
Option two: too many scenes within the first few chapters already make me stop, mutter "wait, what?", reread the sentence thrice, still not really sure if it's meant to tell me the narrator holds some really weird views or that there are two different versions of the main character: the one on paper and the one in the author's mind. I need to establish at least a little bit of trust between myself and the narrator first, or there's a high chance we'll go our separate ways sooner or later.
And that comes from someone who enjoys most of magical realism.
both of those options sounds really annoying and like they'd make reading much too tedious for it to be really enjoyable...
Weekly Bookish Question #490 (May 3rd - May 9th, 2026)
If your current read was a weather phenomenon, what would it be?
Probably like a slow drizzly rain … I’ve been reading over a week and just barely hit 200 pages 😅
Like it should be an exciting, action-y, fantasy but it’s just not working for me 😂
haha oh nooo
