I personally don't like readers who judge others on what they read? Like what do others reading has with you, once i saw guy who reads non fiction saying how romance books don't count as reading and how you aint reader, like buddy, if you read you are reader, or a person who judges how much person read in a month or a year, i recently started counting books i read last year i didn't, i don't even know how much i read until i realized people actually count and make goals how much they wanna read, i never understand those readers, so share what you think :)

I read a lot of children's books both for work and for fun, and I've noticed there isn't a lot of forum content or interaction with most children's books yet! Unless that book is by a big name (who also writes for YA/Adult) or part of a challenge/quest, it seems most kids books go under the radar. This goes for everything from picture books to middle grade novels, though the younger ones for sure seem to have the least interaction. I'm guessing the majority of PB users read mostly Adult and YA and aren't interested in reading younger, but if you are a children's book reader by profession or inclination, shout it out here so we can find and follow each other!

I read mostly picture and easy readers for work, and chapter books and middle grade novels for fun (what I call "work adjacent" lol) in addition to grown up books. I prefer speculative adventure fiction (SFF), spooky books, and graphic novels! What kind of kids books do you read?

I was just looking at my (beautiful, perfect, tiny, etc…) cat and thinking about all the different pets in all the different books I’ve read. For instance, in R. F. Kuang’s Katabasis, there’s a little cat named Archimedes, whose wellbeing I was constantly worried about. Another favorite of mine is Lardo, a fat kitty from Pie by Sarah Weeks. They aren’t the main focus of the story, but I love when they’re around.

Who are your favorite book pets? If you could have any of them in real life, who would you choose? (And yeah, fictional animals count!)

As someone who doesn't read many mystery books (I read one last year and was lost 80% of the time), I am just suspicious of everyone without having any evidence to back anything up 😭 For the more seasoned mystery readers, what kinds of things do you look for or take note of when trying to solve the mystery? I feel like not trying to solve it and just going along for the ride might be the way to go for my pea brain.

Also, does being familiar with mysteries/mystery authors help you understand more of the characters/possible outcomes? I just finished the first chapter, so I don't really know the group's personalities yet, but I was assuming that they were stereotypes.

Do yall have a favourite word and get really excited when you see it written in a book because most of my kindle highlights are either the word petrichor or iridescent? Petrichor is also my favourite smell in the world 🌧️☀️and iridescent is just a fabulous word 💜💙🩷

Hello! My wife gave me her Kindle so now I’m trying to get some books on it that are free or on the cheap side without buying Kindle Unlimited or supporting Amazon too much monetarily. Please let me know if you have any recs for books to get - thanks!
