It's already august (crazy) so I feel like it's the perfect time for a reading wrap up! I absolutely love seeing monthly wrap ups and what people read during the whole month and what their favorite books were. My reads of the last month were: - The Knight and the Moth - 4★ - Love in Focus - 3★ - Enigma - 4★ (such a pleasant surprise and I'm very excited to read other books by the author) - Tusk Love - 4★ - Last Night at the Telegraph Club - 4★ - A Scatter of Light - 2.5★ - Not Safe for Work - 4★ - Dream On, Ramona Riley - 3★ - Legends & Lattes - 4★ - Empire of the Vampire - 4.5★ (my favorite read of the month and I still can't stop thinking about it)

Hey so my sister is 12, turning 13 on october and want to start reading but idk what to recommend if you have recommendations for books you enjoyed at that age or books who are appropriate for kids id appreciate them !

I remember reading this line from A Silent Patient, and thought it was the most narcissistic thing anyone could say. It really stuck with me a lot, and I tend to use ironically to gaslight my sisters and friends. “I knew deep down, she left her phone because she wanted me to find out.” - something like that So sometimes I'll be like, “you are eating fries in front of me, because deep down you wanted to share them with me.” It seems regular to say, but my mind connects it to getting it from The Silent Patient

I feel like there should be a way to restrict the viewing of explicit comments for minors.. there are plenty of spicy books that I’m sure people would want to talk about (possibly in detail) and I just think we could be able to mark those as explicit (like with spoilers) so as to speak freely without being concerned a kid is reading it. I don’t know if that makes sense or how it would work, but I think it could be beneficial to the overall community Thoughts? Ps. I know that plenty of minors read spicy books, I did too, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable commenting on a spicy scene online where I think a kid might unwittingly read it. I read lots of YA and if a kid follows me because of that, it could be a shock for them if I commented on something spicy
