Having Fun Isn't Hard
#4
Do you guys have any structure or goals to fit reading into your daily routine?
I have gotten back into reading mostly because I have a convenient 40 minute commute on the train every day, so that forces me to keep up a schedule and read regularly. I also tend to read on my lunch break. (I don't read at home so much because there are too many other things to do and then I get distracted xD). And obvs goodreads helps keep me accountable! I've also found half the fun when I REALLY LIKE or REALLY HATE a book is getting to write my own highly biased review/rating on goodreads.


Do you guys have any good books that you like because of the writing style, or just enjoy in general?
Not to shove ~classical things down your throat, but The Song of Achilles is an easy read with gorgeous lyrical writing, and The Secret History has some epic Donna Tartt lines & much college cult craziness. I also find that either reading 19th century stuff or modern novels set then is a surefire way to give me Charming muse; either in terms of writing style, words I want to use someday, or worse, the character bug xD On the whole I am not an Austen nut, but if you haven't covered the best Austens you definitely should. Northanger Abbeyyyy represent

Also! in terms of YA series you definitely should read, Lady: The Raven Boys et al. by Maggie Stiefvater. Beans will back me up on this! Please yell at us if you do read it. xD Also last year I read the Six of Crows duology by Leigh Bardugo and enjoyed that too, you should give that a try.


What are yoooou reading and why? :D
I am still on my Arctic kick of circa March 2018 which should carry me quite a way through this year, given the look of my to-read pile. >.> I do try to alternate between fiction and non-fiction (and swap between if I find myself in a rut with one), which is working out quite nicely for me.




look ANOTHER beautiful bee!set <3
