  • Genre Correlation: Music and Books

    Hey folks! I was listening to music when I had an idea/question come to mind.

    What is your favourite music genre? Favourite book genre? And do they have any correlation?

    For example, my favourite my favourite music genre is punk. My favourite book genre is sci-fi (especially dystopian sci-fi).

    Punk is very much a genre of awareness and resistance. Overcoming oppression through struggle and grit.

    Not all sci-fi is like that, but the stuff I tend to gravitate towards usually has the protagonist working against the status quo in some way. It can be looser (like in Scythe, the world's status quo is still roughly the same, but the internal one is challenged) or more direct (The Hunger Games, for example).

    So I'm curious if this is coincidence, or if there's a trend with this, so I figured I'd ask y'all!

  • Favorite book that embodies feminine rage?

    I support women’s rights and wrongs, what’s your favorite story that has to do with feminine or female rage? I’ve read Hungerstone, They Never Learn, and a few others. I have Poppy War on my list to read. Anyone got book recommendations for a lady angry at the world? 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↔️

  • what book would you want to be adapted into a movie/tv show?

    fun little question for y’all: if you could choose one of your favorite books/book series to be adapted to the screen, which would it be and why?

    follow up questions to that: would you want it to be a tv series or movie/movie series? animated or live action? and for extra fun, who would you cast for some of the main characters as actors for a live action, or voice actors for animated?

  • Dilemmas

    I’ve been so absent lately, it was my birthday recently, it wasn’t bad, but I’m going through small crises of personal growth (nothing out of the ordinary), my biggest dilemma is.... books, I feel so disconnected..., believe me, I’m angry about what’s happening to me, I love to read, I feel a great connection with being in the world I read, but the big problem here is what’s happening, the way books are selling lately, the influencers, this whole issue has made me feel left out, I think it affects me more because my favorite genre is Dark romance, they have destroyed that genre, I am aware of it, it may sound selfish, but I wish this boom of “adoration” for reading would end when in reality it is pure and hard consumerism, or the fact that everything has become so commercial that the stories are decadent or so out of place that honestly sometimes it’s disgusting to read x books...., that’s what’s been happening to me these last two months, I left a dark romance book halfway, the ending is missing, god there's nothing wrong with that book, it's the one I was reviewing, but my friend said... "I can't take it anymore, stop", then I moved on to a more cliché one, to see if that would bring back, I don't know, the desire, it's Play Me, a typical romance about a rugby player and assistant, nothing out of place, a very slow love, full of sarcasm and very cliché... but it can't be done, I love that book too but... ugh, I feel overwhelmed and at the same time unenthusiastic, right now from time to time I read "the green witch", it's a book about witchcraft, no stories, no love or anything, it's to learn about green witchcraft, it's more of a guide than anything else, I don't read it at the level I would like, even so I find it hard to follow the thread.... I feel like society right now has ruined all my passion for reading.

    In fact, I recently spoke with a friend about why I was having the dilemma of whether or not to buy a book that I've been waiting for months. He told me to make it a special edition and it's beautiful, plus Acequibre. 2. I would already have it when that passion returned. The book is Enigma by Runyx, my favorite author and Dark genre, in this case the book is Dark Academia genre, I love her way of writing, because it's pure... but honestly I feel exhausted.

  • First book boyfriend?

    Who was your first book boyfriend and where did you find him? Did you find him in the depths of KU or did you find him on the covers of a penguins publishing co book?or If you're like me, you found him on wattapad. My first book bf was Blake Eaton from the book "i sold myself to the devil for the vinyls, pitiful i know". He was everything and more I could ask for, still one of my top book bfs of all time🥺🫶 So, who was yours?

    This was cute if a little underwhelming in parts. I liked the focus on community and the diverse side characters.

    The men in here are not doing anything to quell my growing misandry, they might actually be strengthening it.
