the reading challenge for 2024 has just been launched!

also, a heads up that the 2023 challenge thread will stay open for another week or so for people to update with their final reads if they managed to get them done on time. those who like to keep their reading logs can do so in the Reading Goals thread, but I'd also be interested in hearing people talk through their reading goals here as well

I love being an inspiration, especially if that inspiration was in conjunction with my fav percy jackson



as for suggestions, I'm afraid I'm so bad with suggestions and recommendations for so many reasons. I'm still looking for a series or standalone to become my entire personality. at best I like the books I read, but don't love them, and the ones I always go back to are those which are pretty popular already (like Percy Jackson, the A Song of Ice and Fire series, etc).

this year I think I'll go through and see what other TBS challengers have rated high and give those books a read, plus watch some booktube videos and see where they lead me. because I know there must be some new books out there that I'll love, if only I can find them. then I can come back and recommend them.

(also regarding my DNF saga, I've still not managed to officially DNF a book but I have allowed myself to skim through chapters, as long as I'm confident about what's happened in the parts I sped through, which is a big step for me )
