My reading update is the same as last week.

430. What is your weirdest reading habit?

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a great weekend. What do you currently have checked out from the library?

I have When All the Girls Are Sleeping by Emily Arsenault.

“You keep asking why your work is not enough, and I don’t know how to answer that, because it is enough to exist in the world and marvel at it. You don’t need to justify that, or earn it. You are allowed to just live.”
― Becky Chambers, A Psalm for the Wild-Built

“If you aim to be something you are not, you will always fail. Aim to be you. Aim to look and act and think like you. Aim to be the truest version of you. Embrace that you-ness. Endorse it. Love it. Work hard at it. And don't give a second thought when people mock it or ridicule it. Most gossip is envy in disguise.”
― Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

“The only way to learn is to live.”
― Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

“What is a person, if not the marks they leave behind?”
― V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

“Books, she has found, are a way to live a thousand lives--or to find strength in a very long one.”
― V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

It's been on my TBR for a while. It's a book that I've wanted to read because I've heard good things about it but not one that I have been wanting to immediately pick up. Since it's a book club pick, I'll have to read it. So, it's motivation for me to start it already.

I'm looking forward to this one too. I've heard good things about it. It's been on my TBR for a while and I just haven't picked it up to read. Now, I'll have to.

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

I plan on reading more in Plain Bad Heroines. I doubt that I will finish it this weekend.

429. What is everyone's Goodreads goal set to this year? Are you keeping it set to that number or are you going to change it?

428. How are you doing on your Goodreads reading challenge for this year, so far?

This Thursday's topic:
Do you prefer reading in your home or out and about/in public (i.e., the library, a bookstore, a coffee shop, the park, etc.)
