This better be the enemies-to-lovers cowboy romance of my dreams… and the smut better deliver because my expectations are HIGH.

I always loved reading, but after attending university a few months ago I just can't bring myself to read. 🫠 I want to, but it's hard to pick up a book. Especially now after my exams I tend to not be productive at all and spend more time on my phone. Any advice for reading motivation? 🙈

What it says on the tin!

What is/are your favorite avatar option(s) other than the one you are currently using? (Also not counting the differently colored versions of the one you're currently using)

If I wasn't using the dragon, I would probably be using the blue croissant one! Or the lady knight with red hair.

Give me your silliest, nitpickiest reason you stopped reading a book!

My pettiest reason has to be when a woman living in Arthurian times took note of another woman not wearing a corset, when corsets wouldn't be invented until literally a thousand years later (and not even called corsets until the Victorian era). I was about four chapters in I think and I put that book right down.

morning friends! firstly i promise this comes from a place of curiosity and i’m not intending to farm points or attempt to become a PB celeb 🤡🤡

i was just wondering what personally makes you follow someone? or once followed, what really influences the way you view a user?

for instance i’m a sucker for an insightful, original & creatively written review or comment that captures something about a book that i’ve never been able to put to words.

i also appreciate when users have a clear niche or ‘special interest’ that they’re so passionate & knowledgeable about that it triggers an immediate ✨friend crush✨

i don’t have many IRL friends that read, so i’m sending all my love to the community (and L+J) for making this such a wonderful place to discuss books and learn from each other.

Spicy gay book recs please! (With tons of cussing!)

You know why I’m asking 😂

Editing this for the people who don’t know the lore there was a post about wanting “clean” , “low lgbt” books with little to no cussing and I had too post this to combat that. Anyone who saw my comment on the og post knows I don’t actually like spice in my lit (fan fic and 🌽 fill that particular void) but some of these recommendations sound wildly interesting (I somehow haven’t seen any chuck tingle yet?! But I’m still working though the comments)

Hey y'all 👋🏻

It’s time for Who’s Who Wednesday where every Wednesday we introduce ourselves and make new friends. This is possibly part 19.

Jadelovesbooks originally started this. These were some of my favorite posts to read through so I'd like to bring it back if that's cool (or if these were ended on purpose, let me know and I'll remove this).

Feel free to introduce yourself, share some facts about you, an opinion you have, how your week is going, whatever you feel like sharing really.

I’ll go first.

My name is Wibbily. If I could live in any fictional world, I'd live in Pelican Town from Stardew Valley 🍃🌟

I got selected for my second ever ARC (and my first trad publish ARC) this week and it made me feel SO warm inside! There’s such a special feeling to it.

I have been asked to wait until a specific date to release my review, so I’m going to keep my own ARC title hush hush, but I would love to hear your stories about getting selected for ARCS! How did you feel? Was it a random choice or an author you adore? Do you have the physical copy with that special lil legal text on the top? Tell me everything!

This post was brought to you by the encouragement of @Loyaute (who started the "what's your avatar's name" post that got me thinking about this) and @makiki.

So, assuming that your avatar is you, or like your pet, what pet would you give it? A la Neopets' petpets heh. Have fun!

Since mine's a witch (no I don't have a name for her she is me, ish), naturally I need a witchy pet for her. My logic here is that I want something I'd least have a chance of getting irl so let's go with a snake! But not anything super intimidating or cool. I'm thinking a derpy hognose snake. Her name will be Rafflesia, aka the corpse flower.
