I've been trying to find a readers Discord server that isn't pro-JK and had no luck. Does anyone have any recommendations? I just want a place similar to this to make new friendships over books.

Why does my coworker tell me all the time that I need to have bigger hands? I like the size of my hands just fine đ

I go by the edition I read. The only time I'm not able to is if the cover of the book is not available on here like my recent read Air. The cover I had isn't actually available on here so I went with default cover.
When you are reading a book, do you actually select the edition that you are reading, do you not really care, or do you select the prettiest cover, if there is more than one available?
To be honest, I typically select the prettiest. Since we can select the medium (print, ebook, audio) separatel, I just look through the editions and pick whichever editions I like best. Sometimes not even the language matches (i.e. I read in german but like the english cover better)
Does anyone else do this?
(Edit: I just realised I canât translate this literally (I think): Hand on heart is a german expression that basically means âspeak from the heartâ/âbe honestâ) (Edit 2: I found out âHand on Heartâ exists in english too! Yeay languages!!)
