    I thought it would be kind of fun to see where in the world people are, and then folks can make friends with people from the same countries/ares (if they way, not pressure obviously).

    I'll go first. I'm Canadian, and more specifically I am in British Columbia (Vancouver Island if you want to get fancy).

    Try to find your country and join that thread!

    Everyone else?

  • Under-recommended books?

    Are there any books you love but that you haven't seen anyone else here or on other platforms recommend? Which books do you think are generally underhyped?

    I can start: How to be both by Ali Smith is one of my favorite books ever, but I haven't yet come across anyone recommending it! Maybe because it's been out for a while already?

    This is one of the books assigned for my contemporary lit class, not something I’d normally pick up. My books came in today and I figured I’d go ahead and give it a read since it’s a short graphic novel and classes don’t start until tomorrow. Unfortunately I was not pleasantly surprised as I usually am with assigned readings. The main character has not one single likeable trait, which can be fine if the character is at least relatable, but she’s also not relatable. It felt like Clowes was trying to make another Daria but failed to give Enid ANY of Daria’s actual charm. There’s also absolutely no plot. Not really looking forward to having to reread this when we cover it in class and discussing it.

    I genuinely did not see the end coming, but I will say, at the end, Silas is not a believable character and it didn’t wind up feeling like the loose threads were really tied up, or even that the author meant to leave them loose. I enjoyed it immensely though!

    The author is starting to take some liberties with historical events that's making me raise an eyebrow. Here's hoping that doesn't continue, I don't like seeing "a kindly passerby might have done" in what's supposed to be a historical account. Stick to the facts please!

    This was a fun read, but it was not a well written one. The whodunnit is glaringly obvious, the red herrings may as well have flashing neon signs saying "IT'S NOT THIS ONE" and the MC, despite supposedly being 42, acts and thinks like a 19 year old. Do I regret reading this? No. Do I regret buying it? Yes. Into the library donation bin it goes!
