Today I found myself at a local bookstore just looking around. I mainly listen to audiobooks and read on my Kindle so physical books are just trophies for me. I wondered if the employees thought I was crazy for just browsing around and not buying anything. It got me thinking…do you just browse at the bookstore? What is your favorite thing about going to the bookstore? What’s something no one knows about a bookstore?

Is anyone else having fun making custom shelves and naming them unhinged/fun things?

Example: my shelf "I do play favorites" for my favorite books ever.

how do you all manage to read several books at once like??? i saw some people having 5 current reads and i was like “thats like book danthology” 😭😭😭😭

I struggle with this a lot 😅, especially after reading a good book very quickly.

I always grapple with wanting to occupy my mind with a book again, but also wanting to let the book I finished roll around in my head a bit.

It almost feels like a betrayal to move on so fast, or maybe i’m scared that the next one I pick up won’t be as good.

But at the same time, if i wait too long i’ll fall into a slump and won’t pick up a book again for a while.

I guess what i’m asking is how do you all deal with a book hangover?

When you go into another person’s profile, right next to their amount of points there’s this yellow/orange bubble that says overlap with a percentage.

I’m genuinely curious to know what other people’s highest overlap % is. For example, the highest overlap I have with someone on PB is 88% with Yabooks. Does anyone have a overlapping profile with someone else that’s higher than that?

If not what is your highest overlap and who is it with?

What book world would you never want to live in, even if you were the main character?

If you had all the time in the world to read but could only stick to one format… which would it be? 🤔

📖 Hardcover 📚 Paperback 📱 Digital (Kindle/ebook) 🎧 Audiobook

Personally, I’m 100% Team Kindle 💕 I love the color display, being able to highlight passages, look up words instantly, read anywhere since it fits in nearly everything I carry, and never worry about lighting. It’s just so convenient!!

What are some books you love that need way more recognition?
