Does anyone else feel like that applies to everything but books??😂 For example, when i’m on my kindle looking for stuff to read im not gonna pick the book that has a real person on it. I just can’t do it hahah it has to be a cover that draws me in!! Same thing for book titles - i feel like i judge them heavily based on their titles too

Okay. In honor of today's featured emoji, it's time for me to set aside my pride and ask... 😔

What does 🥀 mean?? How/when is it used?? I've tried googling it and have not received the help I need, it still feels like I'm missing something and seeing it in contexts I don't understand.

Also for another other late 20s folks around, pls lmk if y'all do or don't feel like you're with the times on little communication things like that. For the record, I feel confident with my understanding of 🤏 right now so that's definitely a win, but on the other hand I am absolutely mystified by the diving/parting/coming out of curtains(??) move that I see the love island folks doing nonstop beyond having a suspicion its suggestive in nature. If y'all are also lost maybe we can have threads in the comments to explain these things finally...

Motherhood has been beautiful and, if I’m honest, really isolating at times. Days blur into feeds and nap attempts, and my brain felt like it was on pause.

Then I found Pagebound.

Suddenly I had something small and bright to look forward to. Quests turned my 20-minute reading sprints into little wins. The forums felt like real conversation again, the kind where someone gets excited with you about a chapter or gently points you to a new author. The club threads nudged me into genres I never thought I’d try, and it felt like opening a door back to myself.

To the team, thank you for building a space that is thoughtful and kind and quietly motivating. 🥹❤️

To the community, thank you for the warmth, the spoiler tags, the recs that keep my lukewarm tea company at 2 a.m., and the feeling that I’m not reading alone. You’ve made this season softer and a lot less isolating. I’m grateful for every ping, every prompt, every page. 💛📚

I'm terrible for cracking spines (on my own books - I would never do that to someone else's or the library's books) and I have been known to dog-ear instead of using a bookmark 😬😅. Tell me your worst habits!

So this is technically my first ramble into the world of cozy fantasy! Thank you, Autumn read-along for the opportunity to slightly broaden my horizons!

Love it when the title gets name dropped in the book. Excited to see how Kiela advertises considering her usual bluntness

Do you think this might be the love interest? He is, after all, described as being muscular and handsome despite breaking into her house.

do you think caz and meep would let groot be their third

this is so far, just about one of my favourite books already and i feel like i've barely started! everything from the characters, their banter, the world, the way the book is written, the language... EVERYTHING brings me joy and im so excited what more there is to come!

It might be that I'm grouchy from a toothache, but I'd absolutely support weekly beatings in the town square, with Fenerer being the only scheduled beat-ee

How have we gone from the plot twist to 💜☺️ let's make shelves ☺️💜 It feels like a real 180
