I think I prefer physical books, but they’re pretty expensive, so I’m thinking of getting an e-reader. What do you use?

I'm not entirely sure what the point is of having a book labeled as "Interested". Because, if you're interested in a book, doesn't that make it part of your TBR? That's how I've always functioned. If I'm interested in a book, I want to read it, if I want to read it, it's on my To Be Read list, even when I don't physically have the book. Does labeling them differently change how they might appear in my feed?

Before you come at me, I know this isn’t exactly the best place to ask this but I really don’t know where else to. I know that a lot of readers are also writers/authors. I’ve been wanting to actually get back into writing for a while now but I don’t want to use Google Docs. I’ve seen too many posts saying that they use the data to train ai so I’d rather be safe than sorry. So if there’s any writers reading this: what website/app do you use? (Preferably only free sites/apps)

Edit: Thank you so much for all the suggestions 🙏

I refuse to buy new books until I clear my physical tbr so it’s time for this book!

However, I’m scared there’s going to be so much filler in this book. No contemporary romance needs 500 pages of content 😭😭

you’re reading a thriller in your car in an empty parking lot and a random man starts yelling at you through your window

I honestly don't know much about how people read. When you are reading a series do you just jump to the next book and knock out the entire series or do you just read whatever you wanna read? Most people I've talked to read a book series in its entirety before reading anything else which I find interesting and also impressive. I've found that the best way for me to read is just by listening to what my brain wants in that moment. Now that I'm thinking about it this might have more to do with people's memory more then preference. For whatever reason im the only person i know that remembers what happens in every single book ive read so i dont have to worry about forgetting what happened in the last book of a series i read, but on the other hand this has the disadvantage of me never really being able to re-read a book and still get a satisfying experience. I just stare at my self and pick up a book that feels right. Am I in the middle of 12 different series rn? Yes. And I'd personally have it no other way 😌 I'm curious to see what other peoples reading habits are.

What is with so many books these days not having chapter titles? For me, they’re little windows into the upcoming chapter to give a glimpse of what’s to come. I especially enjoy them when they’re clever and unique. I also find them so helpful when I’m reading nonfiction, particularly ones that are educational. It just helps me with organization and structure.

Do you prefer chapter titles? Do you care if a book has them or not?

Do you guys sometimes browse book forums just for the fun of it, even if you haven’t read the book? I really like just going to a book that I know is super popular and sorting the forum by most liked to check out the comments, there are seriously hilarious people on this site 😄 I love it, is it weird? 😅
