How do y'all decide if you're gonna DNF? Sometimes I'll try & see if i can get to 50%, so then I can count it towards my read count (plus sometimes they end up getting better halfway thru.)
But sometimes I'm only at like 20% & I'm like... ugh. Maybe if I think about DNFing, I should just do it. 💙📚

The book I'm reading is partially in 1st person, & I've never been a fan of that POV. I can read it, tho it takes a bit to get used to, but I don't like it as much. I think it's because with 3rd person, I'm kind of just floating there, watching everything happen. Makes sense. Valid, somehow. 💙📚

My next read, featuring Riley and his Eagles jersey: Gravewater Lake by A. M. Strong and Sonya Sargent. I love the cover on this one. #booksky 🩸📚

Forgot to post, but I finished The Reappearance of Rachel Price by Holly Jackson last night! 4 stars for me. It was a bit slow at parts, but i enjoyed it right up until the end... it kinda went off the rails a bit unrealistically, but I still liked it anyway. #Booksky

...i definitely forgot about the footnotes in Aetherbound, but apparently there were at least 2. 🤣
Okay, this made me laugh. From a scifi book in a futuristic society where they have machines and "magic" that analyzes bodies and thus don't need such gross things as drawing blood samples, haha. #booksky 🪐📚

4 stars to my 12th book of the year, Aetherbound by E. K. Johnston. I had some issues with the pacing, but it was an enjoyable book overall. #booksky Full short review at Storygraph: app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/9a31...

Have any scientists figured out what gene it is that makes my husband able to instantly sense when I've begun focusing on my book and choose that exact moment to ask me a question? #booksky

3.5 stars to read #11, Glass Houses by Madrline Ashby. What a weird book. There were parts I hated (like when she referred to the Milky Way as a cum smear???), and also just, nearly every man in this book in general. It felt like there was a lot happening, not cohesively. #booksky 🪐📚😆

Riley can't believe I interrupted his nap just to get a picture of him with my next read. The audacity. But it's my thing, okay. (I apologized, I promise.) #booksky 💙📚🪐

Update: I think this may be my first DNF of the year. I didn't realize it had forced polyamory/relationships in it, which just isn't my thing, and the structure also isn't working for me. Thankfully, I have three library books waiting for me. #booksky
Riley thinks my next read, #10 of the year, may be a little too scary looking for him, haha. It's This World Is Not Yours by Kemi Ashing-Giwa. It's a lot shorter than my last one, so it may be a quick read. #booksky 🩸📚🪐

Five stars to The Last Astronaut by David Wellington. Tbh, I don't often read books by male authors, but this was well worth it. Very tense, realistic characters, loved all the science aspects. It felt understandable to me and well explained. Had me on the edge of my seat. 💙📚🪐

An autistic scientist's worst nightmare occurs when her colleagues accidentally invite a stranger onto the ship. Oh and btw the stranger is a murderous alien. Bc ofc it is. As if trying to predict the behavior and emotions of people wasn't hard enough.

Queen says super uncool. 🔥.
