I know the sports tropes got really famous for the last couple years, but it is always: hockey, american football, ice skating, you name it... But as a girl who used to play volleyball growing up, I never found a volleyball romance, which, honestly, I found infuriating! So I genuinely wanted to know, if you guys know a book in that category!? Or even, if those other sport tropes are worth it the hype, and if so, which one you recommend? Thank youuuu 🫶

Anyone else a simmering level of annoyed every time you turn over a book to read what it is about and it is just a list of blurbs? I hate having to hit up the French flaps to get an idea of what I am holding.

I have two tbr jars, one with books I'm most excited for and another with all the other books on my tbr. I alternate picking a book from each and that'll make up the queue of books I will read. I usually pick about 10 at a time. I find that doing it this way has helped me find some books I really enjoyed that I might not have picked over others! How do you pick your next reads? Anyone else have a tbr jar?

How has everyone's June been? Read anything good? My favorite so far is my reread of the Outsiders since it has been my favorite book since 8th grade when I had to read it!

So I was thinking… is there any movie/tv show adaptation that in your opinion is BETTER than the book? 🤔 I, for example, believe that the movie adaptation of The Virgin Suicides is way better than the book, and I love the book, but I feel like the movie did a better job capturing the Lisbon sisters, like, the director understood them better than the author of the book. 🙂‍↕️ Do you think it’s possible an adaptation is better than the source material? 🫢

I'm currently reading three books at once (one is for a book club), and I was wondering: Do you like reading just one book at a time or you'd rather pick more titles and read them simultaneously?

I’m torn between the summer reading picnics I have with my friend and snuggled up under blankets with some hot tea during a storm ☺️

I try to read for about 2 hours a day — one hour for each of the two books I’m currently reading. 🕐📖🕐📖 Lately though, I haven’t been reading at all because I’m in the middle of moving to a new place and things are hectic! 📦🏠 But I have high hopes for the rest of the summer — I’ll be by the sea 🌊 and I’m pretty sure I’ll be spending every quiet afternoon with a book (or two!) in hand. 😎🧃📚 How about you? How many hours a day do you usually read — and do you set a goal or just go with the flow? 💬✨

My mom loves reading just as much as I do but English is not her first language and she really misses reading a good book in her native language Laos. There are not any ethnic bookstores in our area and the only place we can usually find books in Thai or Laotian is when we make a trip out to NYC. I considered getting her an e-reader but I have no idea where I would be able to download or purchase books written in Thai for her. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I'm curious if anyone else has this problem, but I often find myself reading five or more books at once. Between library, audio, digital, and physical books, my currently reading list can get quite large. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by it, but the thought of only sticking with one book makes me worried about getting bored. Does anyone else feel this way? How do you combat it?

Have you ever read a book so bad you've had to retroactively revise the rating of *another* book because you realised you were too harsh at the time?

A curious question for the bookworms who are also gamers, TV enthusiasts or both! Where books have been adapted to or heavily influenced a video game or a TV series or film, what order do you prefer to consume them in? (Or even the other way, where series/film/games have influenced someone to write a book in that universe!)
