  • Overwhelmed with options

    Do you ever feel like there are so many books you want to read that you can't start reading at all? I'm in a major reading slump and the worst part is that I have tons of time on my hands. I keep adding books to my tbr, but I can't seem to get to any of them and keep wanting to read all of them😭😭😭.

  • Nonfiction Recommendations?

    I have been reading literary fiction, historical novels, classics, and fantasy for a long time, but I have recently started getting into nonfiction. I just graduated with a degree in environmental science, so I have a particular interest in anything nature/biology related, as well as historical nonfiction. If anyone has some recommendations that aren't too heavy for someone who is new to nonfiction, I'd greatly appreciate it!

  • Random question!

    I was just curious if there was a book or books that made yall rethink everything? Like a book that kinda shifted your whole perspective or outlook on life? Three of mine are Wonder by R.J. Palacio (read this when i was young and made me never want anyone to feel alone or ostracized like Auggie was :( still makes me cry to this day) The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas (also read this when i was younger and it truly opened my eyes to how unjust and unfair our entire government and social system is like I'd never felt such rage on reading a book before. Angie Thomas is still one of my favs authors) How To Make Friends With The Dark by Kathleen Glasgow (all her books are really beautiful in their own way but this one focused heavily on grief and how it's really just the remaining love you have for that person)

  • Bookish Crafts???

    Not sure if there are any crafty friends here, but if so I’d love to hear of any cute book crafts you’ve done! I’d really like to make a book character Guess Who game 😂 I think my fave “craft” was making my own mini books to fit in this tiny little library my sister got me (the ones you shake to knock the books off the shelves). The books were SO small (less than an inch!), but it was so fun to make the cover spreads in Canva, cut and fold them, and then make the foam cores to go inside. I love using tweezers to put them back on the shelves (in series order, of course), and it’s nice to have “copies” of books or series I don’t own, like manga or webtoons I’ve read

  • Is reading meant to be political?

    I feel like on TikTok and Instagram this has become a sensitive topic but do you think reading is inherently political? Or do you think politics should stay out of book discussions and overall reading?

  • Anastasia retellings (or something similar)

    Curious if anyone has read an Anastasia retelling or anything like it? I particularly love the hidden royalty aspect and of course the romance

  • Learning to read

    Hey guys, my little cousin is struggling to read and that means he hates reading and school. I was wondering if any of you have a good recommendation on books to learn to read that are fun and engaging. (And not too hard...) My cousin is in Grade 1.
