Am I the only one who really hates it when spotify doesn't have some songs.. I mean, okay, I can listen them in youtube, but sometimes I want to add them to playlists, and I just can't...

[Dreamer]

This is so stupid, but I just realised that today I close exactly one year on goodreads!!! For some reason I'm so excited 😊😉

Ooh do you mean it's your one-year anniversary since you created your account here? Yayyy congratulations!! I hope it was a fun year for you. :) Quick, now that you have a reason to celebrate (whether it be a big one or not), go get yourself a treat!

Thanks!!! I'm so happy I joined goodreads :) It's just the best community ever! And, now that you mentioned it, I think I'll get myself some books instead of treats 😂

Oh you're such a nerd in the best way possible! Goodreads is such a nice community; this group is such a nice place too :) I'll get some treats (edible treats haha) myself, now that I have an excuse by celebrating for you!

And it just started snowing!!!! I love snow! I hadn't realised it was snowing cause I was reading, but I suddenly looked out of the window, and I was like: what is going on here?? I'm so exited!!!! I love it when it's snowing

Hahaha congrats!!

Thanks!

[riley rue]

I get super excited as well when it snows!! Everything is so white and magical with pretty little snowflakes landing on your clothes. It feels like a whole new world, stepping onto fresh snow and leaving your footsteps on them... I hope you had fun going outside and playing around!

Yes! Exactly! It's just magical :))

[Wren (Fariywren) Hiatus❥]

I've never seen snow!:(

[Douha]

Wren wrote: "I've never seen snow!:("

Same :((

[Dreamer]

Oh! That's sad :( Here it snows only once a year, and I thought I was unlucky, but now I realise how lucky I am. Even for that one time each year. But you will see snow one day too :)

[Dreamer]

Hi! Well, the snow has getting a little more serious than we expected. Yesterday we had a power outage for 5 hours, that's why I didn't commect at all. But the good thing is I went to the forest, and it was really pretty, so I decided to share some photos with you :)

[image error]
[image error]

It was really beautiful..

[riley rue]

This is what "Winter Wonderland" is called, what a beautiful sight!! You're so lucky to have a forest nearby (nearby I presume?), it must be so nice taking snowy Winter walks. If it wasn't for the cold, I could spend all day somewhere out there just reading and enjoying the scenery... :)

[Dreamer]

yes, it is nearby, on a sunny day, I can be there in only 15 minutes, but with all this snow it took me 1 hour. No, I'm not exaggerating. I would love to go out and read too, but the book would probably be damaged by all this snow :)

[riley rue]

Awe it feels like you're a fairy living nearby a Winter Wonderland, so lucky!! And as the other seasons come around, the forest will be so nice to walk around. I am envious in the friendliest way possible!

And yes, but before your book gets damaged by the snow, I think your fingers would freeze and fall off first... It looks very, very cold out there! Make sure to wear as much as you can when you head out.

[Dreamer]

Yess, I seriously wore 3 sweaters and 2 jackets to get out there, and it was still cold! The good thing is that I can sit and read while watching the snow falling out of my window :)

[riley rue]

That's great, happy-reading to you then! I'll also be staying in my cabin, watching the snow flutter softly onto the ground, all in my imagination... *grin*

If there's anyone who also needs an imaginary Winter scene outside, this is a cozy video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72aJr...

By the way, do you have a personal garden of books in the group? I wasn't sure, since I didn't see your name anywhere

does it ever snow where you live?

[Wren (Fariywren) Hiatus❥]

No, but I wish it did! it's been raining most of the day so it's been nice and cool but it gets really really hot.

[Dreamer]

Wren wrote: "No, but I wish it did! it's been raining most of the day so it's been nice and cool but it gets really really hot."

I love the rain too, anything cold actually. I hate summer, which sounds really strange to most people, but it's truth. I can't stand all this heat, I just want to feel cold :)

[Dreamer]

I don't know what is happening with me lately, but I start feeling like my preferance for genres has started changing.. For example, till some weeks ago, I would say that I love YA fantasy, but suddenly I feel like.. YA isn't really my thing. I know that if my taste changes, that isn't bad, it's just natural, but I scroll my TBR, and see books that once I wanted to read so bad, and I realise that I have no interest on reading them anymore... It feels really strange. I don't recognise myself anymore..

[Hailey]

change is a good thing! sometime you just grow out of things and move on and that’s okay! read what makes you happy and nothing else matters :))

[riley rue]

Yes, agreeing with Hailey! Reading's a super personal thing and it's totally normal to not feel interested in books you were interested in before. Do what fits your vibe!

Yeah it's pretty trash. It took me a week to use the desktop site and OMG the difference.

Growth :o I still have a love for all my old favorites, but my I started reading more adult novels now and its like--- when did I stop being a young adult and become an actual adult adult?

Yes exactly! When did I become an actual adult? I'm not ready!

riley rue wrote: "Yes, agreeing with Hailey! Reading's a super personal thing and it's totally normal to not feel interested in books you were interested in before. Do what fits your vibe!"

yeah, I know, but it's so super strange, cause there are books that I've been wanting to read for ages so so much, and I suddenly don't want anymore.. Like Six of Crows, Shadow and Bone, Legend, The Hunger Games... I feel like litte by little I'm removing all the YA fantasy or dystopian books from my TBR....

Ahhh seeing Legend on the list hurt my heart a little💔 lol But yeah, everyones right, just read whatever you feel like reading, bc book moods can change all the time and i think its more enjoyable when you read what you feel like reading instead of forcing yourself to read things you dont want to

yes, that's true! sorry for doing that to your favorite book, I'm sure it's great, I just don't feel like reading this genre right now.. I might pick it up when I'll have a different mood :)
