Brought a book with me today to see if it will stop me from buying more on lunch... day one of the experiment 😆

Firstly, love the profile picture! Haruka/Sailor Uranus right?
Secondly, sounds like a good reason for a new suitcase for more space 😆
Honestly it's really hard not to lol
Right?? 30 feels low. But to each their own I suppose! Love that for your friend though its probably so nice to sit outside and read.
If it brings you joy or gives you something to look forward to it's not silly! At least that's how I see it. Feel like we (as a collective society) need to have more things that make us happy or get us even slightly excited to get through life!
I brought one with me today. We'll see how this goes. Its a good experiment.
Haha I totally get that! And when books call, we answer.
We have a new episode of the GSC #Spoilercast up on our YouTube channel!
Our host with the most, Daire (@daraaraa.bsky.social) is joined once again by Girl Pod's very own Candy (@candyxbomb.bsky.social) to discuss PARANORMASIGHT: The Mermaid's Curse!

Daire really cooked with this editing! PARANORMASIGHT: The Mermaid's Curse is a fantastic visual novel game. I highly recommend it. Need a spoiler filled convincing video? We got you covered!
Let us know what other games you'd like to see us cover! Love doing these w/ @daraaraa.bsky.social !
Yes! Something truly magical honestly
I would've been too honestly!
My problem is I really will focus on one genre for a bit and wont read anything not in that genre until my brain feels ready for it. Recently my brain has been very light and fluffy - could be winter weather could be work stress but those thrillers and mysteries are getting dusty!
I dont do as well ordering books because im such a vibe reader. Does the cover grab me when I walk past it? Does the book smell right when I open it?
...perhaps I have a problem!
I have a friend who has 30 but cant buy a new book till she reads 5. I'm like oof. But all those books are waiting at the store...
I wish I could do digital reading but I just end up gaming on whatever device it is. I'm trying to be cut back on screen time because my attention otherwise isnt great.
I should try that strat...
This feels like the sane answer... yet...
I always think I do. And I'm usually good about just buying one at a time!
Considered? Yes. Implemented is a different answer though!
Oh it was bad when I worked at the mall lol
We gang up on @kingothecask.bsky.social ? Lol
Fun fact, I was aware of this due to a game called "Master Lemon: The Quest for Iceland" which is about a polyglot and has words/phrases from many different languages and this was one of them!
Why??? He already played the base game lol now he can take a break.
Tell him to play Clair Obscur Expedition 33 so he and I can finally talk about it 😆
Funny enough we had a little earthquake in my area today. Must be a sign!
Literally how it feels to be me everytime I walk past it...
Whoever said it was wise. So is the person who repeats it!
It is connected. But I think the wait is what kills me because my mood will shift lol I'll go from give me a good rom com to a murder mystery to non fiction. If a vibe reader exists that might be me and I'll totally stop if I don't have the right genre at the ready. I'm a weirdo.
Need these more and more in 2026!
