This subscription is still new enough that recieving an issue becomes the highlight of my week! Loving the floral cover; I can't wait to be out reading in my garden again. 🌷🌺🌸 #OhReader #ReadingAboutReading

jlhammar Yes! I was so excited to get mine today and such a gorgeous cover. 3y

What‘s your reading resolution for 2021? I keep mine simple, just the annual Goodreads challenge to keep me on track 📚

julesG Happy New Year! 🎊🥂 Goodreads challenge, plus my usual attempt at reading 24 books off my physical shelves. 4y
Victoria_Clyne I'm participating in my library's Reading Widely Challenge. 4y
Cathythoughts I‘m doing #Booked2021 & the #chunksterchallenge ( War & Peace ) 4y

Kangaj1 I will be working through my series books (#series2021) and doing Modern Mrs Darcy, Currently Reading, #Booked2021, and a Decade and Read Around the World challenge with Book Girls Guide. It sounds like a lot, but they are all low-key, and I hope to use books I already own for most of the prompts. The ultimate goal is to chip away at my growing TBR... 4y
MartinaLove I want to read two Stephen King book I've been eyeing for the past year, read a book by Jane Austen, read Truthwitch (it has been on my shelf for years) and read more big books. Also to read different books. I normally read more fantasy than any other genre. 📚 4y
sisilia @julesG Mount TBR challenge is a tough one 😅 4y
sisilia @Cathythoughts Whoop whoop 🙌🏻 Looking forward to War and Peace 4y
sisilia @Victoria_Clyne That sounds awesome. I‘d like to read as widely as I can, but sometimes it really depends on the mood 4y
sisilia @Kangaj1 Wow, so many challenges. You can do it! And yes, those TBR... 4y
sisilia @MartinaLove The Stand has been in my TBR for the longest time, but I‘m not good with horror stories, so I have been procrastinating (edited) 4y
julesG #MountTBR is definitely a never ending story. As soon as I've made any progress new books are being piled on top. I wonder who buys all those. 😁 4y

Reagan So true! Were you following the drama on Twitter this week about a certain author who didn‘t like what a student said about her? 5y

sisilia @Reagan-reads Yes 😃 This post relates to that awful incident. Unnecessary drama, really. 5y
Reagan @sisilia absolutely. 5y
marleed My stars are subjective even to me. I read a pile of books this year and was just looking over my 5 star assigned reads. In one of them, I couldn‘t remember the details at all (thankfully, I jot down a few notes as a refresher). But I thought should it stay a 5 star for me when all I remember was that I loved it at the time? I want my 5 stars to stay with me forever! 5y
sisilia @marleed Oh yes, the same book read in a different mood may get a different rating... 5y

I‘ve been dealing with lots of Excel spreadsheet at work in the past few months, and I feel that my eyesight has gotten worse. My eyes also get tired when I read for an hour or so.

I went to see an optician today, and it‘s confirmed: it‘s PRESBYOPIA! 😤 I must now wear reading glasses for better focus 🤓

Crazeedi Welcome to the club! 5y
Liz_M Glad you found a quick solution. And reading glasses are sexy! 5y
PerksOfBeingABookworm If you can, get some with a blue light filter! The blue light from computers, phones, tv, and any type of screen all strain our eyes. It also effects melatonin production, so it can make it difficult to fall asleep. I‘m getting new glasses next month specifically for the blue light filter. My grandma has a degenerative eye disease (that is genetic) and blue light can exacerbate the problem. 5y

sisilia @PerksOfBeingABookworm I did! Yay🥳 The filter should help a lot 5y
sisilia @Liz_M @Crazeedi I can foresee myself repeating “Where did I put my glassesssssss????” in the near future 5y

😱 McNally Jackson has a new store in NYC (4 Fulton Street)! It‘s opening soon and I think it‘s going to be as lovely as their other stores. New Yorker bookworms, you are in for a treat! I wish I could just teleport to NYC 😃

cariashley Oooh I need to visit it! 🤗 5y
Anna40 Spending a weekend in NYC in November! Do you have more bookstore recommendations? 5y
sisilia @Anna40 Yes! Here are my favorites: The Strand, McNally Jackson @ Prince St, Housing Works, Three Lives & Company, Westsider Books (Upper West). If you look at the tagged book 👆🏻, you can find others that I posted during my previous trip 😀 Enjoy NYC! 5y

Idlewild Books - travel bookstore. They have a unique concept where books are classified by country/region. It makes it easier for you if you want to pick a book from a certain region, but a headache for me because I search book by author‘s name

Wow, I will definitely come again in my next NYC visit. This place is a gem! I found some vintage books, and decided not to get NYRBs!!! (unbelievable!!!) Plenty of NYRBs in fresh condition that I wanted to grab them all 😅 Can I just move to NYC, please?

Liz_M Thank you for not picking up the nyrbs so they will still be there next weekend when I go to the monthly 30% off sale. 😆 5y
