Hi! I read largely for escapism, so I favor books with detailed world building, meaningful character relationships, and narratives with an appreciation for life. I’m currently on a manga reading kick

  • Worst reason you DNF'd a book? ☆

    Can we please humor eachother for a moment and name some reasons we DNF'd books that are weird or funny? I found one of my old phones, and looking at the pictures on it I saw I photographed a bunch of book pages at some point. And then I remembered... my first DNF 😭

    The outfits, man. THE OUTFITS. Do you remember when you would read X Reader fanfiction on Wattpad and the author would so kindly put a picture of the outfit in there, but it was the early 2010s and we were teens so it was the worst thing you ever saw when you think back on it? I kid you not when I say that the further I looked, the more i expected the pages to show a picture of sneakers and galaxy leggings with layers of the same top in different colors and an owl necklace for some reason. ✋️😩 So yes. I DNF'd that book for the outfits alone.

    And now, my favourite two outfits I had the pleasure of reading about. Ahem;

    She had her hair in a bun, and because she wanted to look nice for a date she put on red lipstick, a pair of rose shaped red earrings, a jean jacket over a red casual dress printed with palm leaves and red sandals paired with a blue purse to compliment the jean jacket.

    Her showstopping outfit to a skatepark, which had the love interest whispering 'wow' and the rival staring in envy was made up of a purple beanie, a white T-shirt with black sleeves, black leggings with moons that ran down the sides and purple sneakers with black laces.

  • Book Swap Sites?

    Hi lovelies! I know there's a million ways to donate books, but I remember when I was younger my mom was a part of a book swap online group where you could list books you were willing to swap and ask people for books you were interested in receiving - this is how I got the majority of my Redwall books. As someone who regularly cleans out their shelves and wants the books to go to people who will appreciate them, do you guys know of any book swap sites I can list things on?

  • Dune Fans - Is God Emperor Worth It?

    I’m going to be visiting family/vacationing over the next month-ish, and I’m creating my tbr while i’m out of town. I’m curious if God Emperor is worth bringing with me. I really enjoyed Dune and Dune Messiah, but I found Children of Dune kind of tedious at times. Overall, I like the series but not sure if I left it off at a good place. Do any Dune fans have particular thoughts?

  • Millennials out there

    How do you feel about being on the internet? Are you fatigued? Do you just hate it in a way that you never did?

    Anyway, the toxicity of the general internet has really pushed me back into books and I love it so much. I’m wondering if there any other folks experiencing this literary resurgence.

  • Is owning different editions of the same book over consumption?

    Hey guys. I've not been reading these past few days but a question has been nagging my mind. Because I watch a lot of youtube videos and bookstagram and I see people owning like 5-6 editions of the same book and I'm like... Why? Is one not enough? (Sounds rude but it's a genuine question 😭) I personally do think that owning 5-6 editions of the same book is over consumption because it's a marketing tactic to increase sales and we're falling right into it. Kind of like musicians releasing 12 different versions of the same album. Like I get it. You want to support the author but you can do that buying their book once too. But I'm sure people disagree and I'm genuinely curious to know why. Why would one have multiple editions of the same book? Do let me know! I'd like to broaden my perspective on this.
