I've tried several times now to eat while reading and the only time I've managed to do this successfully is when the book in question was in an audio format. If I'm reading a physical book, I'm always at a loss at how I should flip the pages without having to do a whole lot of shuffling so that I don't rip the page or get food on it by accident. And then I'm supposed to... use one arm to just... hold it up the entire time I'm reading?? 🤔 That gets so exhausting so quickly! And this issue isn't really made any better with ereaders either. Sure, they're a lot better because you don't have to try to hold a heavy book open, but you still have to touch it in some capacity, and trying to prop it up with something else doesn't really work, and my kindle's slammed down on the table more than once from me accidentally knocking it over. Maybe this is just more of a 'me' thing since I have a tendency towards finger food (been getting really into sandwiches lately in particular!) but reading while eating continues to baffle me. Props to people who manage to do it without much issue, and what is your secret... And to the people who have tried but failed... be honest, how much food did you get on your book 🫣

Just was thinking about this today. Do you y’all count your graphic novels in your total book count for the year? Curious about others’ opinions.

I want to start a challenge where I read at least one persons favorite book a month for this whole year! So I’m looking for book recommendations based off your guys favorites. I’m open to really anything but if you want to look at my profile there are more specific genres I’m into. Thanks guys!

i was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for books they feel like would be similar to the movies produced by studio ghibli?

i don't read a lot of traditional fantasy, but ponyo and spirited away are two of my favorite & most memorable movies from my childhood— i would absolutely love to read pieces with the same "vibe".

hello the lovely people of PB!

I recently saw a post of somebody (I unfortunately have forgotten who 😭) asking for book recs that were similar to the good place

sooo ofc I thought why not ask if anyone has any books that remind them of other shows (just just cause I'm curious lol)

so I have one simple question for everyone today

Are there any books that remind you of other media? (This is ofc excluding books that have been adapted into other types of media 🙂‍↕️)

i would love to hear them!

thank you for your time in reading this (this is quite a long post lol)

Lately, it feels like every book is coming out with a special sprayed edges edition, to the point where it stops feeling special.

How do you feel about books with sprayed edges?

I feel like it’s a bit of a cash grab when they make that version more expensive because you typically don’t see the edges when you store a book on the shelves anyway… unless you guys don’t store them with the spine facing forward? I don’t know 🤷‍♀️

Guys let's play a game 😭. Describe your favourite book or one of your favourite books as badly as possible and let others guess it. I’ll go first!

Summer camp turns out to be mandatory military training for neglected children and in this said summer camp, A child is blamed for a crime he didn’t commit and must road-trip across America to prove it.

Can't wait to guess your books!
