If you’re a big fan of Ms. Austen’s world please read: I don’t really know why, but I was never able to enjoy Jane Austen in my teens/early 20s. As one of my 2027 reading goals, I want to give her another honest go. So my question is: Which book should I read first? Second? Third? I know they are not a series, just wondering if there is a best place to begin. Thank you 😘

Update: Wow 🤩 thank you all for your help! I’m very much looking forward to reading! I’ll probably post again when I start in January to see if anyone would like to buddy read. 😊

so, i was wondering what you might do when you feel like starting any book - or even continuing - feels anxiety-inducing or tedious.

right now, i am stuck between several books – i am starting wicked king to catch up with my friend, but it's stressing me out, as well as once upon a broken heart, and I have two more books i paused. can't read more than a page at a time in any of them.

should i read a completely different genre? should i stick to one page in a few minutes? force myself to power through until it sticks?

I haven't seen many people talk about video games on this site, so I thought I'd start a conversation. Lately I've been in the mood for city builders, mainly Kingdoms Reborn.

I don't know if it's an ADHD-as-a-woman thing, but I can't just read one book at a time—it's chaos. I have two audiobooks and a couple of physical ones going, each in a different genre, and I enjoy them all. But after a couple of weeks, I remember the plot but not the characters' names. I wonder if anyone else experiences this.
