So I've been thinking about this question for a while now (at least since we got the ability to mark ourselves as interested in a book on here.) How do y'all use the TBR function on your book apps/sites?

Which probably seems like a silly question to most of you because it's kinda in the title of it...for books to be read. But I guess I've never exclusively used the TBR button for books that I absolutely want to read. Tbh, I have used it more as a catch-all for books I have to read, want to read, am interested in, or even books that I haven't read a synopsis of yet but that had an interesting cover.

So basically I'm just curious how y'all use yours. Are you like me where it kinda becomes a dumping ground for everything? Or are you picky and careful with what books end up in your TBR slot?

For me, it's never really been an expectation that I'm going to read all the books in my TBR list. It serves as a place to scroll when I don't know what to read next or as a place to get inspiration for what to ask for on X-mas or for my birthday.

Why is it called "insta-love" instead of "instant-love"?? Like bro, just add those two little letters "n" and "t", it's just TWO letters 😭😭😭

As a non-English speaker, I've been living under this rock for YEARS thinking it's some Instagram romance trope.....💀only to find out today it has ZERO to do with IG. I'm literally crying rn 😭

If you speak more than one language, have you encountered something in a book that has annoyed you?

It could be a missed translation, it could be something that is difficult to understand in a second language, anything...

hi :) first off, tysmmmm omg. i got so many good recs before, that i wanted to ask for a few good ones for a buddy read for a group of friends that have a st*g**reading profile that looks like this:

“Mainly reads fiction books that are dark, tense, and mysterious. Typically chooses fast-paced books that are ‹300 pages long.”

while my friends have the exact same reading style apparently ⬆️. Mine looks like this instead:

“Mainly reads fiction books that are dark, tense, and emotional. Typically chooses medium-paced books that are 300-499 pages long.”

it’d be cool if anyone has some recs that match a mix of these descriptions? We’re currently trying to escape a slump. some books that we’ve enjoyed together are battle royale by koushun takami, dark matter by blake crouch, fifty-fifty by steve cavanagh, bridgerton series by julia quinn, and klara & the sun by kazuo ishiguro. we’ll give any genre a try though!

even if we don’t get to read ur rec right away, literally every one that i get on here is always added to my libby tags for later reading so thank youuu to everyone in advance <33
