  • I'm gonna hold your hand when I say this 🫩

    Copying and pasting the book's sinopsis, without farther additions, is not a review. I am tired of entering in Goodreads, checking the reviews of an ARC and seeing SEVERAL posts that are literally just "This story is about x character, in x place and shit happens. Thank you so much for the ARC!". Word for word from the original book description text. Nothing more. And don't get me wrong, you can do a simple, light and short review. I find those great. But that Control + C ➡️ Control+ V thing is just ridiculous. So here are some things that you can add to your book reflections:

    🔸Rhythm: Is it fast? Slow? Does it linger in specific scenes? Why? 🔸Author's style: Realistic/Mystic/Descriptive/Onirical... 🔸 Characters: are they well constructed? How about their evolution through the book? What is the dynamic between them like? If there's a romance, do they have chemistry? Favorite POV? 🔸 Worldbuilding: Unique/Simple/Complex/Over-explained/with gaps/Solid and inmersive 🔸Atmosphere: Is it oppressive? Nostalgic? Thrilling? 🔸Symbols and metaphors 🔸REP (LGTB, disability, BIPOC...) 🔸Great quotes 🔸Was it a fast, addictive read? Was it a more calm and intimate experience? Did you read it for a book club, or a challenge? What did you expected from it? 🔸Emotional or spice levels 🔸History research if it's real historial event based

    Just some ideas, feel free to add some more to the list or to discuss my first comment hahaha

    I am going to be completly honest with this one: all of my current badges are accidental 🫪

  • Accidental Quest Fullfilment?

    I'm sure there are quests out there that you try to complete or read more in because you're interested in the quest itself (or the badge). But I'm curious if you guys have quests you accidentally earn badges for. You're just out there reading books and oh that's on the quest list and suddenly you're 10 books deep into the quest without trying

    for me it's the Every Villain is a Hero in Their Own Eyes, like sometimes books get added to it and oops i've read it XD or I read a book and suddenly my badge updates. If you asked me what kind of books I liked, I'd say horror, but if you asked PB it's apparently villains as heroes (˘∀˘)/(μ‿μ) ❤
