In celebration of the fact that it's FRIDAY (woo!), here's your chance to brag about your silliest, most inconsequential achievements.
I'm talking, "I'm pretty sure my dog could set records for biggest poo," or "I have the largest known puffy sticker collection in the world," or "I can juggle with my feet." There's no brag too small, no brag too ridiculous!
Do you have a preposterous amount of knowledge about something that's objectively kind of asinine? Are you the foremost expert on a really, really ridiculously specific topic that 99.9% of humanity would find completely irrelevant? LET'S HEAR IT!

I see a lot of discussions on books that don't deserve their hype, but what about the ones that do? Tell me a popular stand-a-lone or series that you think deserves all the hype. I'll start and say my choice would be Birthday Girl by Penelope Douglas or the (unsurprisingly) Red Rising series. Give them allll the hype!!!

Yeah i can clearly see how this was one of the cases when the writer got paid by word, book one was a couple hours of basically nothing happening 😂

i might get my feelings hurt with this one because there are a lot of well known/popular writers that i really love and enjoy. i read a freida mcfadden book recently and was genuinely disappointed. i grew up on agatha christie and i generally really enjoy mysteries/thrillers, and its been so long since i've enjoyed a good mystery. unfortunately for me, the writing felt very simplistic(? idk if that's the best word for it) and did not impress me at all. yes, this is a risk we all run when taking opinions/thoughts from strangers online, but i'm wondering if there are any super hyped up authors that you didn't/couldn't like at all. (this is exlcuding any authors you don't like because they are problematic in some way or the other)

I've gotten a lot of great recommendations on this app but now I want to hear everyone's anti-recommendations. What are books you've read that I definitely should not read? Why are they so terrible? Let me hear all about your most hated books.

I usally dont, but if ive read more than 70% of the book I will, I just wont review it. It stops me from drawing my feet thru a book i dont like. What about you ?

Alright friends, you know the drill… what complaints (big or small) do we have this week that we need to get off our chest?!💭

For me, when I was a child my parents gave me magazines for kids. There were short stories about folklore, funny comics, and more and my mother would read it for me. Before the audiobooks existed, my late mom's voice was my favorite ❤️ Since then, I've been growing up buying more books and when I looked back I realized that it's not just me who's always growing but my book collections too 📚🌱

What is that one book that every time you see it on your feed or in the wild that you say “I’ve been meaning to read that. I’m going to read that”
Mine is: Circe by Madeline Miller
I want to read it. I talk about reading it. I loved her other book I read (Achilles). I think I even had it in my home but did I read it yet? No. 😩
I’m going to read that book… someday.

If anyone is on a book buying ban, what rules do you have for yourself? How well is it going and what prompted it?

I never fully read the title and I swore it said Sarah until it started playing in the audiobook. I genuinely always read it as Sarah and spelt it as Sarah 😭
