The Binge Reader
You don't read books. You devour entire series in a weekend.
One book is never enough for you — you need the sequel, the spin-off, the companion novella, and preferably the annotated edition. You measure your reading in series consumed, not individual books finished. You love the satisfaction of watching characters grow across multiple installments, the pain of waiting for the next release, and the specific joy of a series that sticks the landing. Your ideal TBR is a commitment, not a fling.
