171. What is an underrated book that you think deserves more attention than it gets?

[Vivian]

The Weight of Ink by Rachel Kadish. It’s an INCREDIBLE story. It’s long and dense, but it’s so worth it. It’s probably not for everyone m, but I wish it was.

One True Loves by Taylor Jenkins Reid.

I didn’t really have reading habits as a kid as I didn’t have many books. I read the same books over and over. I did covet my scholastic reader catalog though whenever I got one.

Krystyna wrote: "175. What is your perfect summer reading spot?"

I loved sitting on the beach with a breeze and shade and a book. I’m hoping next year to get a nice comfy sofa for the porch so I can read outside again.

Krystyna wrote: "173. Do you ever participate in any readathons? If so, which one is your favorite?"

The last book that I couldn't put down was Hopeless by Colleen Hoover.

[jb]

Last book I couldn’t put down is the one I’m currently reading. I’ve been forced to put it down each day so I can get other stuff done: A Magical Match. This series is such a good cozy mystery.

I read a lot in elementary school because we were supposed to. I stopped reading for fun until I hit the end of high school.
The difference is that I read for fun now. I prefer to read over anything else for the most part.

I have always thought it would be interesting to read a (fake, of course) history of gargoles. Their family lives, politics, wars, heros, etc.

My friend and I have what we would call our island books.

That would be interesting! I was just thinking fan fiction about my favorite gobgoyle (part goblin and part gargoyle) Oscar from my favorite series.

[Laurel County]

181. Have you ever read a self-published book? If so, did you enjoy it?

I have read a self-published book. And I absolutely loved it. The book is Slammed by Colleen Hoover and it also turned into a trilogy!

I have read a self-published book. And loved it.

I listened to the audiobook for It by Stephen King, and the narrator did a great job. It scared me a little bit especially when it did the voice for it.

No, not really.
