I’m too lazy to finish it tonight ugh I’ll do it tmw

Which two characters (in any story) would make the BEST and the WORST roommates??🤔

I was just talking to my brother-in-law, and he told me he wrote a book. I was happy for him! That's an amazing accomplishment, and he's written books before so I knew it was something he enjoyed doing.

That is...until he told me that while his ideas were all his, he used AI to "pad out the chapters". His rationalization was that he would disclose that he used it, and that so many Amazon best-sellers are all AI-generated, and he was using it as an aide. While I think that him disclosing is the right thing, I wanted to address with him how AI use is criticized in literature today. He can still publish it, but he should understand that there is a specific type of criticism he would receive without even reading his book.

So, I would like a little input from people who are also in this bookish world. How IS AI viewed in literature?

Let’s round up the first month of 2026!

What was your January: • favourite books: • least favourite books: • total books read:

For February: • What are you planning to read ? • Are there any books releasing you're interested in? • do you have a reading goal for the month?

Bonus Questions for February: • Favourite Romance Book of all time? • Favourite Pancake Topping? • Favourite Lunar New Year Traditions?

For me, it’s Frankenstein. To remind me the difference between monster and man.

If it makes sense, like:

• don’t obsess over every detail if it’s overwhelming, that might make you drop the book
• read fast/slow, do/n’t make an effort to hear the character voices

I’m thankful Shannon has Joey to be there for her. F that POS dad. Shannon deserves so much better!!!💔💔
