The Weight of Ink by Rachel Kadish. It’s an INCREDIBLE story. It’s long and dense, but it’s so worth it. It’s probably not for everyone m, but I wish it was.
One True Loves by Taylor Jenkins Reid.
Mod
Yes! I participate in reading challenges all the time. Right now I have two favorites, Bingo and A Trip Around The World.
Mod
Never. Did not even know they existed.
Mod
Oh, yeah. There are a ton to choose from, if you're interested. They happen all throughout the year.

How is it different or similar to your current reading habits?"I didn’t really have reading habits as a kid as I didn’t have many books. I read the same books over and over. I did covet my scholastic reader catalog though whenever I got one.
Krystyna wrote: "175. What is your perfect summer reading spot?"I loved sitting on the beach with a breeze and shade and a book. I’m hoping next year to get a nice comfy sofa for the porch so I can read outside again.
Krystyna wrote: "173. Do you ever participate in any readathons? If so, which one is your favorite?"Yes I participate in #24B4Monday readathon on Litsy with Sumisbooks. It takes place the last full weekend of every month. Also I help her run the GR readathon group.

. Last book I couldn't put down.
The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein by Kiersten White
This book surprised me. I started reading it on a whim, and ended up loving it.
The last book that I couldn't put down was Hopeless by Colleen Hoover.
Last book I couldn’t put down is the one I’m currently reading. I’ve been forced to put it down each day so I can get other stuff done: A Magical Match. This series is such a good cozy mystery.

The difference is that I read for fun now. I prefer to read over anything else for the most part.

Krystyna wrote: "180. What is a plot of a book that you've always wanted to read but hasn't been written yet, or you haven't found/read yet?"I have always thought it would be interesting to read a (fake, of course) history of gargoles. Their family lives, politics, wars, heros, etc.
Krystyna wrote: "179. What book would you want to have with you on a deserted island?"My friend and I have what we would call our island books.

That would be interesting! I was just thinking fan fiction about my favorite gobgoyle (part goblin and part gargoyle) Oscar from my favorite series.
Mod
I have read a self-published book. And I absolutely loved it. The book is Slammed by Colleen Hoover and it also turned into a trilogy!

Krystyna wrote: "183. Has a book ever scared you or given you nightmares?"I listened to the audiobook for It by Stephen King, and the narrator did a great job. It scared me a little bit especially when it did the voice for it.
Krystyna wrote: "182. Has a book ever changed your life?"
No, not really.
Krystyna wrote: "183. Has a book ever scared you or given you nightmares?"Yes. Dracula by Bram Stoker scared me. No nightmares though.

We need to go to a book signing.

Never. I never guess correctly or see twists. Sometimes, I get a piece or two correct. But that is all.
I’ve met a few authors but none famous. I did get to see R. L. Stine once.
Krystyna wrote: "185. Are you generally good at guessing twists or being able to see what's coming?"Sometimes yes. Maybe more often than not.
