Let’s Talk Bookish: Long vs Short Series

Hi 👋 Happy Friday

Please can I have a pat on the bag. I’ve just finished one assignment. Yes I have two and a bit more to go but this is still an accomplishment from someone who has been procrastinating like her life depends on it recently.

My next plan was to go make myself some food but my housemate has beaten me to the kitchen. While I starve to death (lies – i’m gonna eat chocolate or biscuits while I wait) I thought I’d go back to last week’s Lets Talk Bookish.

I really liked the look of this topic but I was on a bit of a blogging break so I didn’t get the chance to do it 🙂

Let’s Talk Bookish is a bookish meme that was created by Rukky @ Eternity Books where each Friday, bloggers write posts discussing the topic of the week. Since April 2022, I’ve been the host of LTB, and I post each month’s topics here on my blog! May Topics!

This weeks topic is … Long Series vs. Short Series (Hannah @ Hannah’s Library)

Prompts: What is the ideal number of books in a series? Does it depend on the genre? Do you prefer longer series with five or more books, or shorter series with less than that? Have you ever read a duology and if so, did you wish it was longer, or was two books enough for the story?

Let’s Talk Bookish: Are reading goals worth it?

Hi and hello.

I am back today with another round of Let’s Talk Bookish. I’ve had to skip the last couple of weeks so I’m looking forward to getting back on track with these weekly discussions!

Let’s Talk Bookish is a bookish meme that was created by Rukky @ Eternity Books and hosted by Aria @Book Nook Bits, where each Friday, bloggers write posts discussing the topic of the week! Since the beginning of April, I’ve been the host of LTB, and I post each month’s topics here on my blog! February Topics.

This week’s topic is … Are reading goals worth it?

Prompts: We’re two months into 2023 – how are you feeling about your reading this year? Do you have a yearly reading goal? Do you think that those kinds of goals help you to feel motivated to read more books, or just causes stress? If you set yearly reading goals, when and why did you start setting them? Would you consider reading without aiming for a number? If you don’t set reading goals, why not?

We’re two months into 2023 – how are you feeling about your reading this year?

So far this year I’ve read 13 books but more importantly, I’ve enjoyed nearly everything I’ve read so far. I’m also super happy with how my reading is going so far this year because I feel like I’m covering a wide range of genres (memoirs, fantasy, adult), I’ve managed to listen to two audiobooks so far, and I’ve even managed to read a couple of new releases which I’m super happy about!

Another thing to celebrate is that I’ve only re-read two books! I’m hoping to not re-read as many books this year and really focus on my TBR pile so I’m proud of this too.

Let’s Talk Bookish: Holiday Books

Happy Christmas Eve Eve everybody!!

Gonna be honest … I’m not feeling all that Christmassy this year which is odd because I’ve tried!! I watched Elf and all month I’ve been reading Christmas related books but still I’m shocked when I remember that Christmas Day is literally on Sunday.

It’s a good job then, that we’re finishing off the week with another holiday related post, this time for Let’s Talk Bookish!

This weeks topic is … Holiday Books

Prompts: Christmas books and movies dominate the media during the winter season, but Christmas isn’t the only holiday being celebrated. Do you like reading holiday books at all? Have you ever read a holiday book about another religion? What about a holiday book not set during the winter season? If you’re religious but don’t celebrate Christmas, do you feel represented in the holiday media?

Let’s Talk Bookish: Banning Books

It’s my last day in the USA! When this goes live I’ll have already been home safe and sound for a week but current me is stressing. I’ve got three flights to make it through in one piece. The likelihood of me sleeping during my travel home is slim so I’m gonna be like a walking zombie by the time I find my brother at the airport.

I’m gonna spend like 5 hours at the airport tomorrow (only time the uni shuttle could take me :l), and then a million hours flying so I’m prepared for how I’m going to pass the time: watching Elf, playing Stardew Valley, and reading Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid.

On a little side note, I’ve been in the US for like, 4 months now, and the only thing my dad requested I bring back (besides myself) was Twinkies. I’ve had a note taped to my desk saying “TWINKIES FOR DAD” for months now and everyone that comes round to my room is very confused.

As always, I’m using Let’s Talk Bookish to take my mind off things. I literally save writing this blog post until I need a distraction. It’s a good tactic.

This weeks topics is … Banning Books (Jillian @ Jillian the Bookish Butterfly)

Prompts: Do you think banning books is fair? Should students be allowed to read what they want and be able to get it from their school library? In a more broad sense, how do you feel about books that have been “banned?” Do you think that it’s a crime to ban a book, no matter what it contains, or are there cases where it’s alright?

Prompts: What is your favorite genre and why? Is there a reason why those particular genres speak to you or capture your interest? What is your least favorite genre and why? Is the genre the biggest determination of whether you look for and choose a book, or is it something else? Do you find that you are able to predict what kind of genres people like based on their personalities? Do you notice patterns in which kinds of people like certain genres?

Let’s Talk Bookish: Books I’m grateful for!

Hello and Happy Thanksgiving.

I had my first ever Thanksgiving dinner last week thanks to the dining hall at my college and … I’m sorry but I’m not a fan. It’s probably just how my college cooked it (cooking isn’t their strong suit) but it was super mushy! Why so mushy??

Anyways. It’s still a super cool experience being here for this holiday that I always see on TV and in the movies. I’m actually going to be in New York when this post goes live and we’re hoping to see the Macy’s day parade before going sight-seeing since everything’s going to be closed.

Let’s Talk Bookish: Local Libararies

Helllooo and happy Friday!

I have just bought tickets to see Beetlejuice on Broadway and I’m freaking out. I was already excited for my trip to New York in two weeks but now I literally cannot wait. You will be hearing from me once I have recovered from this trip – I’ll make sure to come in clutch with photos whether you want them or not.

My excitement means I’m not going to be sleeping for a little while so I thought I’d take this time to do this week’s discussion while calming down.

Let’s Talk Bookish: My Personal Reading Taste’s

Hello and happy Friday!!!

I’m actually in class right now but in an attempt to look like I’m taking notes and not just staring out into space thinking about my lunch (I’m starving), I thought I’d get cracking with this week’s discussion.

Let’s Talk Bookish: Do Title’s Matter?

Hello and happy Saturday.

I’m late with this week’s Let’s Talk Bookish and it’s Taylor Swift’s fault. I spent the night listening to Midnights and it was great. I’ve only listened to the album in full once so I’m not 100% sure on my favourites yet but from off the top of my head I really loved: Lavender Haze, Anti-Hero and Midnight Rain.

Anyways, I’m meant to be writing an essay right now but I have no clue what I’m going to write about, and even less motivation to think about it so we’re just gonna move swiflty (lol) into this weeks discussion!

This weeks topic is … Do book titles matter? (Hannah @ Hannah’s Library)

Prompts: How much do book titles matter? Have you ever read or not read a book based on the title alone? Do you like long or short book titles better? Do you think the title has to connect to the story in some way? What are some of your favorite book titles?

Let’s Talk Bookish: DNF-ing Books

I’m staying up til 4am tonight. Usually this would be easy but the minute you tell me I HAVE to stay up late I immediately don’t want to. I have good motivation to stay awake though becaus I’m doing it for concert tickets.

Me and my friends want to go to Artic Monkeys concert next year. The tickets go on sale at 9am UK time … only problem is we’re in the US meaning we’re 5 hours behind. Hence staying up til 4am. I have no classes tomorrow so I’m taking one for the team.

I’ve got hours left to kill so I’m keeping occupied with this weeks Let’s Talk Bookish!!

This weeks topic is … DNFing books (Mint @ Mint Loves Books)

Prompts: DNF is an acronym that stands for did not finish. What makes you DNF a book? How often do you DNF books? What’s the silliest or pettiest reason why you DNF’d a book? Do you review books that you DNF?
