So, this is not my first Kawakami novel, and I do really like her work. This is definitely different than her past novels, but what I’m noticing more than anything is the prose is different; it’s not what I’ve come to expect from her. I’m wondering if that is because her previous novels were published in English by Europa and had different translators to this work, but do translators really make that much of a difference? At the moment, it really seems to.

Heyhey!

I've got a Kobo which of course includes being able to sideload books, and was wondering where everyone gets their ebooks? I'm in europe though so any domestic only sites won't work for me, so I'm hoping some of you might have tips for international sites that are not Amazon😅 Their ebooks aren't sideloadable anyways. Also not Kobo as I already use it but not everything I want to read is on there. Ofc I'm familiar with the seven seas but I prefer not having to use it if I can avoid it out of fairness.

Sadly most of the domestic sites here you need the sites own app to read a book, can't even download the book without having their really stupid adfilled app🥲

I'm sure there are quests out there that you try to complete or read more in because you're interested in the quest itself (or the badge). But I'm curious if you guys have quests you accidentally earn badges for. You're just out there reading books and oh that's on the quest list and suddenly you're 10 books deep into the quest without trying

for me it's the Every Villain is a Hero in Their Own Eyes, like sometimes books get added to it and oops i've read it XD or I read a book and suddenly my badge updates. If you asked me what kind of books I liked, I'd say horror, but if you asked PB it's apparently villains as heroes (˘∀˘)/(μ‿μ) ❤

Could you please add Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid? It fits perfectly here ☺️
