I'm working on completing a book bingo for my local bookstore and one of the prompts is to read a book a friend didn't like. I don't have friends that read often, so I thought I'd ask here... Recommend me a book you didn't like!

In my mind, comfort books (or series) are more than just a favorite you revisit occasionally. They’re books you might reread every year, or that you turn to when you need something familiar and welcoming. They might be connected to a specific memory or time in your life, or gifted to you by someone special. Or the story just resonates with you in a way that brings you comfort. Here are mine: -The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo -The Infernal Devices series by Cassandra Clare -Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson -A Far Wilder Magic by Allison Saft (I do not support her being a Gale defender, do not come for me 😭)

I’m just curious how many people read the blurbs? Or the summary on the back? I’m a go in blind kind of person. I rarely will read the blurb/summary. I like having no idea what the book is about and then figuring it out as I read it. Anyone else?

I don't have a ton of fanfiction experience, but I've read a few gems and a few stinkers too. Would love to hear from anyone who has love for ff and also any recommendations!

I've recently been getting into the Youtube ambience videos when I read. I try to match the vibe to the book and I found it helps me get better immersed! I usually can't have anything playing with words (songs, TV, movies, etc.) but sometimes I will for the "less-involved" books. I can definitely read in silence but background/white noise helps me stay focused!

The atmosphere of this books really sinks into your bones the longer you read. I can almost feel their cold and worry as they move along. Really enjoying it!
