    When the book makes a reference to the previous book the author wrote, but you haven't read that one yet and you didn't realize there was going to be a plot point about that. 👀

  • Curious About Your “My Taste” Shelf…

    For the 5 books in the “My Taste” section on your profile, how did you pick them? Are they all 5-star reads, personal favorites, books that give off your general reading vibe, or do they all just scream "me"? I’m always curious how people approach it. Mine are all 5-star reads that kind of reflect my reading vibe, even if they don’t totally scream “me.”

  • Username Challenge

    I just did this on Instagram with physical books, but I thought it might be fun to see what others can come up with! These are all books I physically own because I wanted to take a picture, but I'd say it counts digitally if a book is one you've read or is on your TBR whether you own the book or not! Here's mine, I regretted the long username a little. I didn't expect it to be so hard to find enough E's lol. (now my goal is to read them all this year, luckily I have a good start). A - Artemis by Andy Weir P - Phantasma by Kaylie Smith R - Reckless by Lauren Roberts I - IT by Stephen King L - Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien T - Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson H - the Hobbit by JRR Tolkien E - Eragon by Christopher Paolini B - the Bone Season by Samantha Shannon O - One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig O - Our Infinite Fates by Laura Steven K - the Kaiju Preservatjon Society by John Scalzi Q - Queen of Shadows by Sarah J Maas U - Us Dark Few by Alexis Patton E - Empire of Storms by Sarah J Maas E - Encyclopedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett N - Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo

  • Long shot - books to prepare for cat ownership??

    Basically my partner and I are considering adopting a cat or two (lil baby kittens from a friend) and I've never owned a cat (partner has) and would love to read up on it more before deciding!!! I've always wanted cats but I'm also an anxious girlie who wants to be as confident as possible that I am ready to give them a good home and life! I grew up with a dog and most folks I know have dogs, but obviously cats are different in many ways so my experience won't really translate. Basically I'm looking for resources that would give me a good sense of what to expect, how to prepare, and helpful training information? Huuuge bonus points if there's also something that speaks to cat ownership while having ADHD, because I'm definitely a little concerned about not being able to keep things super tidy or becoming overstimulated (not concerned at all about my ability to keep the cat fed or it's litterbox clean or remember to get it to appointments and stuff)

    This is much heavier than I anticipated. Unlike me, I highly recommend at least reading the synopsis before you start reading so you know what you're getting yourself into!
