I know there's been a lot of feelings going around over the past few days, so in the spirit of building community (and because I'm at home today!), I wanted to offer a thread just to chat and vibe because I love the community here and I want it to be a place where people can just feel free to be themselves. SO!

Send me a heart and you will get:

❤️ A compliment/shoutout/affirmation 🧡 A completely random question 💛 A completely random fact 💚 An encouragement or virtual hug (feel free to specific what you want encouragement for!) 💙 A book recommendation (let me know your preferred genre) 💜 A book-related discussion (will try and go off your currently reading or My Taste but if I don't know those books, may just be more of a general book-related topic)

As I’m reading so many good books now because of PB and constantly peeking at others finished books, lists, and getting recommendations in quest forums it made me think! Who - dead or alive - would you like to see what they’ve been reading?

Mine? Yah Yah Scholfield. After reading their novel On Sundays She Picked Flowers and learning that they started the novel at the age of 17 makes me want to read what they’ve been reading (until they get another book released!). I’m so curious to learn the influences that helps shape a writer like that.

Yours?

My Nana (Italian) was superstitious about the malocchio aka the Evil Eye too. She couldn't say that babies were beautiful without praying over them.
