The idea is delightfully simple: for 30 days, you post once a day in response to a book-themed question. That’s it. No essays, no footnotes, no need to summon the ghost of Shakespeare, just honest answers, curious reflections, and maybe a few cheeky confessions about your reading habits. I have decided to take part this year, and since I picked a month with 31 days (I know it would have made more sense to use a 30 day one) I am using March 1st to explain what I am doing.
Each day brings a new prompt: favourite characters, memorable endings, guilty pleasures, and the books that made you weep, rage, or fall in love with the written word. It’s a gentle nudge to celebrate your literary life, one post at a time.
So why not give it a go? Dust off your bookshelf, sharpen your wit, and join the challenge. Thirty days. Thirty questions. One slightly eccentric bookworm’s journey through the pages.
DAY 12. – A book you wanted to read for a long time but still haven’t.
The film Hackers has always been one of my comfort watches, that perfect blend of neon‑soaked aesthetics, thumping soundtrack, chaotic charm, and, of course, Acid Burn being effortlessly iconic. It’s pure, unashamed entertainment, and it hits the spot every single time.
Because I adore the film, I’ve long been curious about the book it was based on. Everyone says it goes deeper into the story, and let’s be honest, books behind films are almost always richer, stranger, and better. So it’s been sitting on my “must read one day” list for ages, like a little digital gremlin reminding me of my own procrastination.
The problem? I could never actually find a copy. It became one of those mythical items: always talked about, never spotted in the wild.
Until now.
A copy finally landed in my hands, well, technically it arrived a week ago, but I’ve been deliberately holding off cracking it open so I could tie it neatly into today’s prompt. Now that the moment has arrived, I can dive in tomorrow with a clear conscience and a ridiculous amount of excitement.
