Recently, I started to get back on booktok/booktube and get tons of interesting recommendations.

However, I’ve had really disappointing experiences in the past with books that were hyped as ‘life-changing’ online and didn’t meet my expectations at all in the end. Anyway, to avoid that I thought I would turn to PB reviews to see what people rated books I see online…

Only to realize that I have no idea how other people use the star ratings! So, I wanna know how you guys approach rating out of five stars ⭐️ and would a low rating deter you from reading a book or do you prefer finding out yourself?

I have to say that a guilty pleasure of mine is reading books with bad reviews just to see how bad it gets 🫢

hello fellow bookworms! while we clearly all enjoy reading now, did you enjoy reading as a kid for school? did you read all of the books assigned to you, or were you a sparknotes and prayer kind of person when it came to tests? what was your favorite and or least favorite book you read for school?

for me, i always read the books assigned in grade and high school because i liked reading and am a pretty fast reader. however i did read half of Frankenstein at 3 am in the bathroom the night before it was due when i was 13 (#ADHD). college was a bit of a different story, again thank you ADHD, but i at least tried to skim or read some of everything because i hated going to class unprepared. not sure if i could pick a favorite, but man do i remember hating Tuck Everlasting. couldn’t tell you why, but i think i dnf’d the last chapter out of spite.

love to all, thanks for all the fun discussions! 🥰🥰

It's tax day in the US, which means you also have to pay your pet taxes! I don't make the rules; I'm just your local accountant. Of course being a tax-paying Boundling, I have to pay my taxes too, so here are my cats!

Does anyone have any good playlist reccomendations or songs in particular they like for reading? :)

Reading the ebook in dark mode somehow terrified me because all the pictures got inverted and i always jumpscared by it

What's a book on here where you are or you feel like you are the only one posting on it?

I have been reading The Hades Calculus, and its something, thus I have been posting but its definitely a little less fun posting about a book without interactions from others. Its not terrible, but I love the interactions on here.

So what are other books where you feel like your posts are being left to a void?
