Basically my partner and I are considering adopting a cat or two (lil baby kittens from a friend) and I've never owned a cat (partner has) and would love to read up on it more before deciding!!! I've always wanted cats but I'm also an anxious girlie who wants to be as confident as possible that I am ready to give them a good home and life! I grew up with a dog and most folks I know have dogs, but obviously cats are different in many ways so my experience won't really translate. Basically I'm looking for resources that would give me a good sense of what to expect, how to prepare, and helpful training information? Huuuge bonus points if there's also something that speaks to cat ownership while having ADHD, because I'm definitely a little concerned about not being able to keep things super tidy or becoming overstimulated (not concerned at all about my ability to keep the cat fed or it's litterbox clean or remember to get it to appointments and stuff)

I just did this on Instagram with physical books, but I thought it might be fun to see what others can come up with! These are all books I physically own because I wanted to take a picture, but I'd say it counts digitally if a book is one you've read or is on your TBR whether you own the book or not! Here's mine, I regretted the long username a little. I didn't expect it to be so hard to find enough E's lol. (now my goal is to read them all this year, luckily I have a good start). A - Artemis by Andy Weir P - Phantasma by Kaylie Smith R - Reckless by Lauren Roberts I - IT by Stephen King L - Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien T - Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson H - the Hobbit by JRR Tolkien E - Eragon by Christopher Paolini B - the Bone Season by Samantha Shannon O - One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig O - Our Infinite Fates by Laura Steven K - the Kaiju Preservatjon Society by John Scalzi Q - Queen of Shadows by Sarah J Maas U - Us Dark Few by Alexis Patton E - Empire of Storms by Sarah J Maas E - Encyclopedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett N - Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo

okay the world is SO immersive. prologue is def a tad confusing but still really fascinating. also jun is a trans person who wound up becoming part bionic, which i think is superb. i love this re-imagined korea, with north/south "unified", and how robots/roboware is integrated into it. been waiting to read this book since i bought it - doing a book club for the month of may with a friend - and i am SO excited to see where this goes

Saw the pub year has been added to book descriptions🎉🎉 So happy I don't have to jump over to GR anymore to check that. Thank you!! And on that note — do you all generally prefer reading newer or older books? Do you like to jump on the latest releases, or get caught up on older gems first?

I was wondering if there was a genre you enjoyed/loved for a while but then suddenly stopped reading and not bother picking it up, and even if you do, it does not intrigue you? I used to love reading thrillers/mysteries but i think due to my anxiety, perhaps, or i dont know what, but i no longer have any thrillers on my radar anymore. I think i may have replaced thrillers with fantasy.

I know the main problems people seem to have with audio books is wandering attention and not knowing how to pronounce names/places, but how come no one is talking about the real problem??? The Reading Face. (Whilst in public, especially.) I usually listen to my audio book on my walk to work and I have had multiple people I know tell me that they saw me walking with a weird look on my face. When the plot finally plots and I can't control my reaction to it IN PUBLIC and the whole town gets to see? 🙃 So that begs the question. What's the worst part about listening to audio books (in public or otherwise)?

The flowers blooming, we have longer days, and it's that sweet spot between spring and summer that’s perfect for reading in the sunshine (or curled up inside when it rains). This month, I’m hoping to dive into a bit more fantasy, and maybe a few romances. I’ve got a few anticipated releases on my radar and a couple of long-time TBRs finally getting their turn. So whether you're tackling a reading challenge, mood reading your way through your shelves, or just looking for that one book that hits just right, I hope your May reading brings you stories you love and characters you’ll never forget!! 🤗 What’s on your May TBR?

wildestfire's post below made me think of this! Does Pagebound have any method of tracking daily reading stats, or is that something that could potentially be added in the future? I know you can post in book forums with the percentage of how far through the book you are, it would be cool if that info could be compiled into charts and monthly wrap-ups and fun stuff like that

Just wondering how come retellings are perfectly acceptable as literature proper but fanfictions are not? any insights?
