Today my friends and I were talking about creating general life budgets and I mentioned that I absolutely need a book budget. They thought I was crazy but there are times where I go insane at book stores or online! I rely more on my public library now (my wallet thanks me) but I think that I’ll still use a book budget when the time comes lol. What do you guys think, would you or do you have a budget for books? And would you or do you follow it?

So, I’ve been on Kindle Unlimited for almost a year now - basically living in the KU bubble. And at some point, I realized I was only open-minded with books that came with the membership. Turns out, my idea of "let me read it without judgment" only applied to books that didn’t cost extra. So far, that hasn’t been a problem. I’ve been pretty content with it. But now I’ve become that reader. The picky one. The one who due diligence the shit out of a book before buying it. The one who stares at the "Buy now with 1-Click" button like it’s asking for a kidney. I mean, I already have KU, so if I’m gonna spend actual money on other books, it better be good. The kind of book that makes me want to write a thank-you letter to the author, and stays with me long after I’ve turned the last page. So here I am, putting my trust in you wise bookworms: If you could recommend just one book, that’s 100% worth buying, what would it be?

Hey! I was just wondering if anyone has any good queer romance books? I’m also alright with like straight ones but I prefer queer ones! I don’t like mystery or horror books so please none of those!

I'm curious if anyone has any opinions or takes that are apparently sacrilege to everyone else? I find it annoying when I cant find an adult fantasy or sci-fi that doesn't have a lot or any romance/spice that also isn't the obvious popular choice that everyone is already talking about (if you have any recommendations PLEASE help me)
