5 stars: A new favorite read.
4 stars: It was great but something about it didn't resonate.
3 stars: It was fine.
2 stars: Mostly didn't like it but something about it let me push through and finish it.
1 star: Hated it.
unrated: Mainly used for nonfiction or books that I read and didn't fully understand.

What are you currently reading? Listening to? Watching? Playing? Creating?"

I'm currently reading Johnny Got His Gone by Dalton Trumbo, House of Stone by Novuyo Rosa Tshuma, and The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James.

I mainly watch YouTube, and I've been watching a lot of gaming VODs that some of my favorite streamers put on YouTube. There are a few movies I want to watch (maybe this weekend).

A friend and I have been playing a game called Chained Together. It's really hard but a lot of fun!

I'm working on a crochet project.

No update, but I did pick up Johnny Got His Gone by Dalton Trumbo, and I'll probably finish it today.

All I've been doing the last few weeks is crocheting lol. I'm pretty obsessed with that at the moment.

I can't really think of anything else.

LCPL wrote: "Happy Friday! Hope you had a great week! What does everyone plan on reading this weekend?"

Continue in House of Stone and possibly more in The Portrait of a Lady.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: Do you have any fun, exciting plans this weekend? Cozy, bookish plans?"

I work this weekend, but I do want to read more in House of Stone by Novuyo Rosa Tshuma.

LCPL wrote: "This or That: Books with spice or no spice?"

I don't read romance, so I'm not necessarily looking for spice.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: Have you discovered a new favorite genre, author, or book so far this year?"

I've found that from reading books around the world, I really enjoy a small village setting. I've read a few books this year with it and I ended up rating them 4-5 stars.

Finished:
Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde

Currently:
The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James
House of Stone by Novuyo Rosa Tshuma

Like a Stone by Audioslave

I'd like to mention that Pieces of Me by Ashlee Simpson is always on loop, but I'll let another artist have a chance.

I wanna crochet a few things and clean my apartment. That's about it.

Read, work on some crochet projects, and watch tv. I don't feel like doing much this weekend.

LCPL wrote: "Happy Friday! Hope you had a great week! What does everyone plan on reading this weekend?"

I would love to try and finish Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde.

LCPL wrote: "This or That: For summertime, do you enjoy bbq's or bonfires?"

Bonfires. I enjoy the calm environment surrounding them.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What social media app/site do you spend the most time on?"

I'm on TikTok too much, but I don't really interact with anyone on there.

Edit: If we count YouTube as social media, then that is definitely my most used.
