now that i’ve figured out markdown i’m gonna be absolutely insufferable

Curious what bookish hobbies people have?

Talking anything from book journalling, collecting bookmarks to puzzles and video games that relate to books. They can also be fun hobbies you do while listening to audiobooks, for those that combine cozy hobbies.

I saw a video about someone embroidering symbols from books onto a sweater and kind of want to do that. Like a bookish Spotify wrapped, but with book symbols.

When I was in high school, I decided that my ultimate goal was to do every single thing under the sun except studying obviously 😇. That’s how I eventually came to write a story, I never finished it because um because. I want to share it with you and if anyone knows a book with a plot that resembles it even just a bit, I would appreciate if you could share it.

It was a story about two girls from different times who were basically swapping bodies every time one of them fell asleep. Weird I know. Their only thing in common was their birthday and their age but that’s it, they couldn’t be more different. They learned to live in the other’s bodies and they helped each other out. They both had a very different life with different problems ( I outlined both their entire lives with all the people in it, it was quite fun ). And then, since my love for trauma runs deep, the « curse » stopped when one of them died the day of their shared birthday 🤗. So exactly one year after it started ( 366 days because I decided that year was a leap year) I loved that story so much, unfortunately I’m a reader, not a writer. I don’t even think the story is that good obviously I was in high school but it’s such a great memory

I am struggling! This is my second attempt to read this book and I am wondering if listening to the audiobook would be the better option. I do not dislike the story, but my brain spends WAY too much time trying to pronounce everything accurately, and it’s exhausting.

I'm new to Brandon Sanderson's work. Where should I start, and what order do I read his books? I was thinking about starting with Mistborn.

What are your favourite fantasy worlds to escape to? One of my favourites is Faerun in the Forgotten Realms from the Baldur's Gate games and D&D.

I keep laughing out loud reading this, everyone is so funny!

I feel so bad for Katrina, her family is not a family at all and the people who consider themselves her friends are...complicated? The way she talks about Ichabod and Brom (and even Ciara) is so distrustful that I can't tell if she is incapable of letting them be friends because of her home trauma or if they are actually just bad friends. I am sad for her either way because she must feel so alone.
