Just read this 2-3 hours ago.At 2 a.m,why did my mom randomly decide to peak in my room to see if I was asleep .I literally was on my phone and got so fucking scared because of the creaking of the door.😭😭

Is it just me? I can’t help myself. If someone misquotes anything I recognize from a book, I have to correct them. It’s like it bursts right out of me.

Today Mr said he was having some conversation with somebody at work and he said, “The sky is coming down, the sky is coming down!” 😳 I’m like, uh…it’s supposed to be “The sky is falling!” And, he says, “Down.” I couldn’t even. I told him, there is no down! It’s from a book, and there is no down! 😂. It didn’t even matter that it was a children’s book.

He keeps winding me up about it now…

Has this happened to you? What was the quote?

What it says on the tin!

What is/are your favorite avatar option(s) other than the one you are currently using? (Also not counting the differently colored versions of the one you're currently using)

If I wasn't using the dragon, I would probably be using the blue croissant one! Or the lady knight with red hair.

Hey, guys... I've been wondering lately if you need to know at least a few basic pieces of information about the author of the book you are reading, or if you're more interested in the literary piece the author has written. I've been watching one book review on youtube and the book (2023 urban fantasy) is written by an author who works under a pseudonym, and it seems like nobody knows much about the author (not even the real name) and for some it's important to know at least something and others in the comments of the video were like: "I liked the book the author had written so what's the deal?" I can also say that if i am reading a classic literary piece, it's important for me to know the historical context and that includes the biography of the author (usually the biography is something that helps me to understand the book more). But to be honest, if i am reading contemporary fiction i usually don't really care about the author... maybe it depends on what kind of genre the book is. What do you think?

I have read a few novellas and am really enjoying the dopamine hit I get from finishing a book in one reading session. Yesterday, I read The Pale Dreamer and it was fun and perfect for my entrance into the series. I typically read books that are 500+ pages so it's also just a nice break in general. That got me wondering about novellas in general. Does anyone have any favorites they can recommend, particularly of the fantasy/scifi genre? I like light romance but I'm not a big romance reader where its the main focus.

What is one of your book icks that you feel like you haven't seen others talk about? Like things so unique to you and your tastes?

For me its rich boy ennui. Books that touch on just how hard it is to be so rich you don't know what to do with your life. Even when I know that is part of the story and the message, I just can't stand it. Examples of this include The Great Gatsby, Dorian Gray, The Secret History. It kinda sucks because I like the dark academia vibe but hate the ennui. It can be hard to find dark academia without rich boy ennui.

There is a giant comet hurtling towards the Earth. Our days are numbered. What is the name of the book you are going to make sure you read for the first time because you always wanted to and kept putting it off, or the reread, because that book needs to be there for you in the end? (Obviously, I don't want a giant comet to smack us, but this question just popped into my head).

The books I would read because I need to know how it ended after this giant investment in time would be Malazan books 9 and 10 (Dust of Dreams & The Crippled God). After I read those giant monstrosities, I would finish up with rereads of as many of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books as I could fit in.

it’s been a good long while since i’ve read a book where i’ve had to highlight and look words up later this is doing wonders for my brain wrinkles

Okaaaay it's nice to see the dads made some progress!!

HOWEVER, Buddy Lee saying "if you loved your son and did the best you could, you was a good daddy. That's what I tell myself anyway". Sir, you admitted beating your own child up, you were not a good father 🙄🙄🙄

The picture of Gimli panicking and weighing his words because he doesn't want to offend the trees in the forest is just so funny 😂
