Avery - She/her - 26 Finally living my dream of working in a bookstore! I read mostly horror and lit fic, with some sci-fi-fantasy and non-fiction when I'm intrigued.

  • Audiobooks and adhd?? 🤪

    I’m so jealous of people who are able to listen to audiobooks! My mind always drifts away and I forget I’m listening to one. Then I have to rewind ten minutes again. The only time it almost worked was when I went for runs. Anyone else has this problem and figured out how to make it work?

  • Why is roasting so much easier than praising?? 😭😭

    I hate that I struggle So hard to write reviews of books I loved. When I hate a book, I can write An Whole Essay. Does anyone else have this problem? 😭😭

  • Best places to get audiobooks?

    Hey everyone! I’m curious, where do you all usually get your audiobooks from? I actually signed up for Audible years ago but never really figured out how to use it, so I’ve never listened to one. Lately, I’ve been wanting to give audiobooks another try. Do yall have any recommendations for good platforms or sites to get them, and maybe a few audiobook titles you’d suggest starting with? Thanks so much!

  • Wanted: recommendations that break me

    Okay so, I need book recs for books that left you HOLLOW for at least a week. I'm talking stuff like If We Were Villains or They Both Die At The End, anything that ripped your heart out - don't ask me why. I just need to feel the pain sometimes!!!

  • How do you find your books?

    For the horror books, I usually follow people on insta that recommend books. But before that, I used to go to bookstores and takes pictures for my TBR. Do you get a feeling that it’s ā€œthe right bookā€ without even knowing reviews or do u need reviews to be persuaded?

  • What's the WORST fantasy series/book you've read?

    Everyone on here always recommends the most amazing books. The ones they loved, the ones that changed them.

    But give me a fantasy book or series that you wanted to rip apart- that you only finished out of SPITE

    I very much enjoy reading 1-star reviews of books to see if I would hate the book too, or if it would actually be for me. People are more honest about a book if they hated it šŸ˜† (in my opinion)

    So give me a fantasy book you hated, and why?!

  • Percentage Update for CR

    Tbh… I’m not a fan of the percentage update while reading. I don’t get the hype šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø I think it’s more work than necessary. I totally get the reading list updates, or reading goal updates. What does everyone else think?? What am I missing??

    I’m curious why it was important enough to be added

  • Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism
    Thoughts from 16%

    I mean maybe this is just how she speaks as a linguist major, but it slightly bugs me how the tone of the book is so conversational, but then she keeps throwing in random thesaurus words that then don’t really fit that tone šŸ˜…

  • Broken spine

    I'm sure most of us had our book spines broken by others that borrowed from us right? It's usually friends or neighbours or maybe even family. Regardless of who they are, it's as if they don't even care 😭 like wdym breaking the spine makes it easier for you to read?? Sybau šŸ„€

    Wish I could say that to my professor šŸ˜”

    A few weeks ago she saw me with The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas. (I brought it to class so I could show my friends how thick it was, so they can decide if they wanted to read it or not) My professor asked me if I finished reading it and said yes, then she asked if she could borrow it. She said she'd been wanting to read it but couldn't find a second hand copy, and the college library's only copy was already borrowed by someone. So I agreed and gave it to her.

    This morning the book is back in my hands but with a severely broken spine that the pages are falling apart 😭 A couple pages are even missing!! She even tried to use her toddler daughter (that I had no idea existed) as an excuse for the broken book!

    The Head of the Department saw the sad excuse of a book being handed back to me by that professor, and so she got scolded on the spot lol

    I can get another copy but this one's been with me for years šŸ˜“

  • Bus book vs home book?

    For anyone who have 2 or more book on the go have a read before bed book or at home in general vs a bus book? If you do , what do you read at home ? Spice or no spice? I'm currently reading revolve on the bus because it has a figure skater and a hockey player on the cover and it looks innocent enough but it is not for kids. At home I started beautiful things by Emily Rath . I'm in her pateron so I know it's SUPER spicy ( all males get together with the female but her recent NSFW art was all the guys together)
