Humblebundle opened an account (probably elsewhere but surely on bluesky) exclusively for their books and comics bundles if anyone is interested! If anyone wants to be sure they won't miss a huge amount of books for cheap this is ideal, I'm still very grateful for the murderbot bundle. Bluesky link

How do you feel about it?
I know there has been a lot of dialogue on this topic online end of last year on booktok, but I thought we could revisit it here through a PB lens?
Bonus question: I've seen some author presence for some of our cool giveaway programs! Do you think knowing the author is on PB will impact the way you interact in the forum?

I’m curious 🐈⬛
I’ve noticed in book communities that self-help as a genre usually has a bad reputation, but I’m not sure if I can pinpoint why exactly.
Is it the amount of bad books? Maybe, but every single genre has bad books. Is it because the bad books are more scummy as people go to this genre for help in their lives? Like bad people use it to sell ‘courses’ etc.
Interested to hear any and all thoughts!

I struggled so hard through the third two thirds of this, not for lack of quality (it's written as well as the rest of the books!) but simply because leaving the second book at that point just to move to an angry and horny teen was a bit jarring. The last third made it all worth it, seeing Bobbie in the background dealing with her struggles and trying to move made it all actually enjoyable so another 4 stars read in this series

I love every sentence with Bobbie but oh my god everything else is such a drag, it's so short and yet I'm struggling.

My main issue with the previous short story was the rushed ending, so I'm very glad to confirm that it was just because of the format and that something a bit longer had a definitely better pacing! And the dynamic between the two detectives of this novella might have been a bit cliche but in that comfortable detective story way, we've already seen this play a million times but it doesn't bother because it's well written.

I was wondering... 🤔 What are some of the worst movie or tv show adaptations that made your favorite books dirty?

Especially with Good Girls Guide To Murder I see alot of comments saying "its very YA written". Now I'm pretty "new" at reading. I've only just consistently been reading for about 2 months, so I haven't read alot of different books and genres. But I just wonder what about a books makes it an YA? Is it the topics, the way its written, ages of the main characters?
