Hello there. I’m Mallory! A nostalgic 90s kid, nerd, and introvert. I have a PhD in biology (science pops up here sometimes!) and am a chronic fantasy reader who thrives on cozy vibes ✨
Excited to swap book recs and nerdy thoughts!
(Be honest: Did you read the first words like Obi-Wan Kenobi?)

Hey #booksky, it's been a minute, but I have an important question for you: How do you feel about book-to-movie adaptations?
🎥 Love them!
📖 Books are always better
🤷♀️ It depends on the adaptation

I'm back with another bookish would you rather, #booksky!
Would you rather: Only read books with 500+ pages OR only read books under 300 pages?

📖 I’m enjoying Fourth Wing, but my mood reading brain is all, "but why not read two more books?"
There are just so many more I want to read!

Nothing like a good book to distract from the fact that Monday exists 🫠

#Booksky, does your reading style change with the seasons? 📖☀️❄️
Do you save the 600-page (or more!) beasts for winter and pick up lighter, quicker reads in spring and summer? Or do you just read whatever, whenever?

Help me build a top notch short reads TBR (please? 🥹)!
Share your BEST book recs under 300 pages! 📚
It feels like so many books these days are hefty tomes, but I love having shorter reads to mix in—especially between those 600-page beasts. So, what are your go-to short but satisfying reads?

Hey #booksky, don't be mad at me, but I've never read anything by Brandon Sanderson. I'd like to, though! I've heard great things!
I know he's prolific, so please help me out. Where should I start?

#Booksky, what’s your go-to reading snack?
🍫 Chocolate
☕ Tea or coffee
🍿 Popcorn or chips
❌ I can’t be trusted with snacks and books; it’s too risky for the books!
Me? I have my water nearby, but I don't snack while I'm reading!

The worst part of reading a disappointing book is knowing I could have spent that time on something I actually really wanted to read.
And you know what? I'm not doing this anymore! Life is too short to be wasted on books I don't love 📚💙

So, tell me, #booksky, why should I read Fourth Wing? It's been on my TBR for a while, but I keep grabbing different books. I think I'm worried it won't live up to the hype since I've had that experience with ACOTAR 🙃
Have you read Fourth Wing? Is it worth a read?

I know I’ve asked this before, but I’m still debating whether I want to keep a physical reading journal or continue to rely on an app.
So! How do you track your reading?:

I’ve been a mood reader for a long time but am trying my best to focus on finishing one book before starting another one. So far, it’s been going well! But part of me does kinda miss juggling four books like it’s a perfectly reasonable life choice.

Small reading win: I finished my fourth book of the year on Wednesday🥹 That may not seem like much, but after barely reading anything the last few years, I'm so excited to be on track! Actually, I'm ahead of my reading goals!
