    Not sure if it’s just me, but this feels realllly slow. I keep waiting for the mystery/thriller part to start and right now I feel trapped in the book alike Ana is trapped in her house 🫠

  • Only one posting in a forum

    I’m currently reading a book that has reviews, but no forum interaction. I’ve already posted like 3 times. I think im starting to feel a little self conscious. At the same time, it’s fun and I like seeing my thoughts out in the ether. 😅 Does any one else feel weird when they are the only one posting? 😆

  • A question for audiobook lovers...

    How do you do it? My library often has the books I want as audiobooks with no wait, so I am trying to become someone who listens to them. Emphasis on the trying. Every time I try to listen I get so distracted by other stuff and miss whole chapters and important details. I think being able to listen to my books would suit my daily life and schedule a lot better, but I just can't seem to make it work!

    Does anyone else feel that way?

    What do you do when you're listening to audiobooks? How do you stay focused?

    Edit: thank you, everyone, for the thoughtful comments. I will definitely give it another try with some books I've already read!

    I went into this book blind, and I’m so happy it was part of the read-a-long!

    The love letter style narrative from Constanta’s POV is full of rich prose as she recounts her remaking and life as Dracula’s bride. You can feel her thoughts and struggles as she comes to terms with the abusive relationship she and his other “pets” are in.

    A beautiful and quick read, perfect for fall!

    Men gaslighting and saying women are “hysterical” makes me rage 😡 I know he’s a giant bag of dicks but even then I’m seething 🤬
