I usually enjoy fast-paced crime, mystery, and thrillers, and every once in a while, romance. But to be honest, I feel like I’m not learning much from these books, and I’ve been wanting to find books that are enjoyable but also leave me with something to think about.

I’d like something about human behavior and the human mind, maybe even something about discipline. I don’t enjoy fantasy, and I haven’t been able to get into nonfiction or classics. I loved “the silent patient” and “a thousand splendid suns”. I honestly have no clue what to look for since I’ve never really been interested in this sort of genre before, but if anyone has recommendations, I’d really appreciate it. :)

I’ve been thinking a lot about the overlap between people who devour books and people who sink hours into video games.

If you’re a reader and a gamer, I’m curious: • What are you playing right now? • Do you gravitate toward story-heavy games, cozy games, chaotic multiplayer, RPGs? • Do you feel like gaming scratches the same itch as reading - or a totally different one?

And if you don’t game, I’d love to know why. No judgment - just genuinely interested in how these hobbies intersect (or don’t).

I’m fascinated by the reader/gamer venn diagram. Where do you land?

A Botanical Daughter is currently 2.99 for Kindle.

im not sure if i should be posting this here but for some reason, the font seems a lil too big suddenly. is it just me or have they increased the font size?

i swear when i opened this i felt like i was using my parents’ phone, it got so huge. 😭 or maybe i got too used to the tiny font size of the books im reading ..

I tried checking the roadmap but I honestly find it difficult to find specific information.

I love this app but I find it frustrating that I can't have discussions or chats with folks I follow and who follow me.

I know the Discussions exist, but sometimes I just want to let my moots know something book related ie like the cool new book I just bought, that I'm not wanting to announce to the entire site.

Will there be something added to our feeds or pages that will allow for this in the future?

Thanks 🙂

Is it just me or does it feel extremely weird to post in empty forums? I personally really like to make posts because it feels like a space where I can discuss the book freely. But empty forums feel like I'm voicing my opinions into a void - it feels weird sometimes!
