Listen, I read everything, I really do. But lately? I haven't been able to finish a book unless I force myself to. So! Please? Recommend the books that made you forget time existed, that made you forget it was just tattooed ink on dead trees, made you forget life outside of your own personal movie in your mind. Ę>

Hi guys! I'm desperately looking for a slow-burn romance (romantasy or not) that is not very spicy and where the slow-burn is EVERYTHING. Send recs!!!!

Hi yah, Iām from New Zealand and have recently been looking for cheaper ways to read. (The NZ part is relevant due to books being $30-$40 here and Libby being unavailable on kindle.) I mostly use an e reader, but it's not always the cheapest option, so Iāve started exploring alternatives like libraries, the Libby app, and second-hand bookstores. The other day a friend found Kingdom of Ash in a second-hand store, and I was so excited, it got me thinking about how special it is when books themselves have a story. I have a copy of The Hobbit that I bought at a library sale. Inside thereās an old library card with the names of all the previous borrowers. It made me wonder⦠Does anyone here own a book that tells a story beyond the one printed inside? I love the idea that books can carry a bit of their previous readers with them. Through inscriptions, notes in the margins, or even old bookmarks or tickets left behind. Thereās something really magical about that. Would love to hear your stories if youāve ever come across a book with a bit of history or even a book rec where this is what the book itself is about. āŗļø

What is the last book you read and your favorite quote from it? I'll go first. Potion of Deception:
"I prefer the moon over the sun," he breathed into the air. "It's different but more⦠familiar. We can see her shape, her shadows, different phases of her life, how it changes. How she changes. How her parts disappear just to come together again. How she rewrites herself every month ā her rebirth. "She lightens the way for travelers at night, which is way more than the sun does. The moon leads you through darkness." His eyes sparkled with that precise sapphire hue that was always so quick to escape. "She doesn't hide behind blinding light, letting us watch all her imperfections. And to all others, she's never trying to outshine the stars' beauty."

the very last drop of an ink pen
I am not able to forget these books. Read once and they become embroidered memories.
"And all at once, the ink bleeds, a con man sells a fool a get-love-quick scheme. But I felt a hole like this never before, and ever since."
