hello to nobody in particular. felt the need to inform the public that me and my friends are doing our first ever 7 books in 7 days challenge and i feel like everyone should hear what we picked so i can get encouragement (or warnings)

🧩 "Devils in Daylight" by Junichoro Tanizaki   🐖"Animal Farm" by George Orwell   🔪"The Obsession" by Jesse Q Sutanto   🤍 "White Nights" by F. Dostoevesky  ⛰️  "Into the WIld" by Jon Krakauer   🪄"Thorne Hedge" by T, Kingfisher   ☕"Before the Coffee gets Cold" by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

basically everyone chose one book (devils in daylight was mine hehehe) and like im happy its a very even balance of genres like theres some mystery, litfic, fantasy, a russian guy-- perfect!

idk let me know ur thoughts, if u've done it before, or if u can tell which youtuber i swiped half of these titles from

I’ve got a few series I’m trying to get through and when I’m done with one book, I like to read something different (mainly horror) before starting the next one but I’m running out of ideas. So please give me recs for horror books you’ve enjoyed, that are on the short side. Extreme horror is welcome but not required :)

Does anyone have any tips for reading faster? I’m a slow reader but I want to start reading faster so I can read more books overall. Since coming onto this app, the amount of books I’ve read has definitely increased but my pace of reading hasn’t. I feel like I’m not reading quick enough especially when I see others who have already read 100+ or even 50+ books already! It’s so impressive and so I’ve been wondering, if you consider yourself a fast reader, how do you do it? Good time management? Skimming? Skipping pages? And how does your way of reading quickly affect your understanding of the book? Please let me know of any helpful tips!

Oh no! Your current PB username has been stolen somehow!

What would you pick as a second option (and why)? (Assume that all other potential usernames are available.)
