I feel like on TikTok and Instagram this has become a sensitive topic but do you think reading is inherently political? Or do you think politics should stay out of book discussions and overall reading?

The show has me in a chokehold, but no one around me has been watching it so I have no one to debate Team Conrad/Jeremiah with 🥹 Have you guys been watching it too? I've been Team Jere in S1 & 2 but S3 has been a roller coaster ride 🤯 Any book recommendations for similar love triangles / character dynamics while waiting for the next episode?

At the beginning I set my reading challenge at 24 books, thinking "on average, two books per month sounds like an achievable goal". But then not only I had to juggle between work and university, I had to endure a reading slump that stopped me from opening a book from like, april to july. I'm slowly starting to read again and i'm super happy about it but I decided to change my goal from 24 to 12 and it's the first time i've done this. I know life is life and sometimes you have to slow down a bit but I guess this hit me because during the pandemic my reading numbers sky-rocketed because (sadly) I had a lot of time available back then, and ever since my yearly book numbers have dropped. I don't know, any thoughts? Have you ever changed your number in the middle of the year or do you maintain it even if you know you won't make it?

Hi 🤗! I'm looking to expand my reading music selection and would love to know what everyone enjoys listening to. My music tastes kinda vary and the flavor really depends on the scene or energy of the book. Sometimes I just listen to soundtracks and ambience channels, other times I'm knee deep in early 90s RnB, some variation of metal or something in a different language lolll Maybe it's a lil dramatic 🫣 lollll but one way I like to lock in to really exciting scenes is to find music that goes along with it. I'm a visual reader so reading is like watching a movie in my head so maybe that's why 😄. Some of my favs lately are: Sleep Token Gore Dark Tranquility Dayseeker Hurtwave Gojira Deftones Dayshell Siamese Bloodywood Imminence Spiritbox TesseracT Time, The Valuator Light the Torch Underoath Anywho, I'd love to know what you all enjoy!

Hello and welcome to the Epic Sci-Fi and Fantasy Series Quest! I'm so excited this is live for you to enjoy. My goal with this quest is to encourage people to read the heftier series and worlds that the genres have to offer. My criteria is that the series must either by 5+ books OR there's an established world/universe with multiple series, in order to make the list. I looked for a variety of older and newer works, authors, and SFF subgenres as sci-fi and fantasy is diverse and this quest should reflect that. I tried to be kind and made the quest book the FIRST book in series/world, although some are debated, rather than the LAST 😉. If you have any suggestions, please let me know below! I will add to this quest periodically. I'm especially excited to discuss the reading order of some of these with you all as I currently only have Silver in this quest and need to get to work! Happy reading!

Such a sweet murderbot! I thoroughly enjoyed reading about this sweet bot coming to terms with its humanity and "emotions" and realising it loved its humans/clients. Its internal dialogue is as hilarious as ever. Immediately starting the next book to see what happens and if it makes anymore not friends 😊
