I have 24 on Libby and 2 at my local branch. how many do you have?

(I just got a notification for a book about the Watergate scandal that I’ve been wanting to read, then saw that it’s 832 pages long and immediately suspended it 🫠 I don’t have that bandwidth right now)

I am reading a book right now with cuss word that aren't technically cuss words. Think fak, lol

In this book I think it because the book is ya so it doesn't have cussing but also the main character cusses. It is mostly just funny but it does snag my attention every time.

I've read lots of fantasy books with unique to their world curse words that I really enjoy though.

I think the difference is the other books the curses make sense to the world. It is a reference to a unique to that world religion for example, not just away around cussing in ya.

Has anyone else noticed this? What do you think? Do you have a favorite curse from a book?

Who was your first book boyfriend and where did you find him? Did you find him in the depths of KU or did you find him on the covers of a penguins publishing co book?or If you're like me, you found him on wattapad. My first book bf was Blake Eaton from the book "i sold myself to the devil for the vinyls, pitiful i know". He was everything and more I could ask for, still one of my top book bfs of all time🥺🫶 So, who was yours?

I absolutely LOVE doing this - it lets me see all kinds of things people have read, are reading and plan on reading. I get off work in an hour and I finished the book I was reading on shift tonight.

So. What I want to know is everyone's Last - Now - Next! I started another one right after, but I am a mood reader and have no idea what I am going to read next.. so I need ideas from you all with your answers!

Last - Fixiation of the Mind by Kira Stanely Now - Black Ties & White Lies by Kat Singleton Next - IDK lol. Maybe the 2nd in the series for my NOW book.

i’m gonna be so honest, i still have no mental image of larran whatsoever

So I was taking a look at where I am at with my reading goals for the year, and was curious how everyone is doing with theirs.

Have you hit yours yet? And if not, how many do you have to go? Do you think you will be able to hit them? Are you doing any additional challenges outside the total books you read? Any changes you may make for next year's goals? Tell me all the details 💗

I technically have two reading goals, one on Page Bound and one on Bookmory, another app where I track things and keep notes on my books. Just because I do track Wattpad or other online reads, and so I do that there. As well as some random Free Ebooks and KU reads, that I may not want to post online lol 😂

So for Page Bound, I am at 140/200 And for my other goal, I am at 236/250.

I'm hoping to hit my Page Bound Goal, and think I will (🤞🍀), though probably not until mid-late December. And I think next year I am going to lower the goals a bit, because there are a lot of longer reads on my TBR for 2026, plus I am hoping to go back to school for a semester.

This year, I also decided to do 6 reading prompt challenges from Book Riot's 'Read Harder' reading log (the physical book), and so far, I have done 4, and am in the middle of finishing 5 and 6. So I might try to do a few more before the year is done. 💗
