What are your go to drinks and snacks when reading?? I personally go for either a hot chocolate or iced latte (very weather dependent) or on special sunny occasions an aperol spritz in the pub garden 🍹.Favourite reading treat is a piece of cappuccino cake from Waterstones, it's my go to every time! 🍰 Let me know ✨️

I’ve seen a few fanfiction listed as books - is that something we could do?

For the past two weeks I’ve barely read anything. I’m hitting that part of my tbr list where I don’t have any motivation to read. Ive started using NetGalley for ARCs and my reading goal is 60 books, I’m at 36 right now with one DNF. I have so many ARCs that span all the way to January. Majority of my reads minus a few have been ARCs. I’m sure I need to just pick a book that’s not an ARC.

I usually watch a fave movie, write some of my book, watch a new show, play video games and read some fanfiction to get away from the monotony of reading and reviewing.

What are some things you do to get back into reading?

I’m super sick and I can’t stand to lift a page. I finally got a Storytel subscription, got too trigger happy and started a bunch of books (I haven’t marked all of them here).

I’m really enjoying all the ones I’ve listened to and been listening too.

Here are a few I like: The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty (very immersive, and Lameece Issaq has a very dynamic voice) Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain (rip king. I love the impressions he does) Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke (the passivity of Rebecca Lowman’s narration juxtaposed with the toxically jovial dialogue reading is hilarious) Box Hill by Adam Mars-Jones (I liked when Malcolm Sinclair swore in his mirthless and angry British accent).

I’m not an avid listener. I only just got a subscription and still figuring out the kind of narration I like. But I understand their necessicity when I need a distraction.

I wanna ask avid audiobook listeners this: what do you consider to an objectively good audiobook? What is the magnum opus of audiobooks to you? Whether they’re your favourite or not doesn’t matter.

And in the same vein I have another question, what narration do you think is so bad that it is good? Like each reading choice makes you laugh in shock?

Hi everyone! I am new to this place, how does it work? 👀 Also any way to change the colours to like a normal b&w or something?

So, I have loved this movie for yearsssss. Love the setting/time period, love the confusion in the beginning, the tension of lying and if it’ll be found out, falling for the brother, but I also love the idea that Peter was willing to believe she was his fiancé and wanting to give their relationship a chance. Would love to see that version ngl 🫣

Really looking for this in a book. Does anyone have any recs?

It can have all of the key things of WYWS or some of them - I think I’m just in the mood for being mistaken for someone way more important in someone’s life and how to navigate that. I do wonder it being set in the past would work better than present 🤔

Tropes that are an absolute no go for me:

• no age gap
• no instant love

I think this would be one of my favorite romance movies. What’s yours and do you have a book counterpart?
