So, i installed the app. Im posting this using the app right now. Its not in my country yet but i used vpn (this is my first time using vpn and i couldn't figure out how at first. I installed like, 5 different ones 🤣) and oh my god. Its amazing!!!! Even tho im not used to the app layout and stuff so it feel a bit wierd but i will get used to it so its alright. I hope it works without the vpn too. I'll update yall when i remove it. Im so excited to use it 😆😆😆

This book is not my usual vibe AT ALL but it’s cute so far. What I would give to sail off to a faraway island and live in a little cottage with 5 crates of books and a talking plant for company sighs

I'm so happy for all the people using the app! (It's not available in my country)

I think for the most part people are pretty good at understanding overconsumption = bad. But when it comes to books and book related things, that mentality seems to go out the door. I’ve seen a lot of readers get super heated over having a vast collection of books, ereaders, accessories etc, and I just wonder-why? Booktok has seemingly turned reading and being a reader into an aesthetic, and I think a lot of people like the idea of it but more like the look or aesthetic of it (eg: book hauls).

I’ve done my best to cut down on purchasing books, I try to buy them second-hand, and I try to not buy anything when I have a ton to read…what do y’all think about this? *Not calling out anyone on this platform or any users or creators! *

Very excited to announce that you can now download the app on Android!! Google Play approved us this afternoon :) we're still waiting on Apple and will make a big release announcement once both platforms are available.

If you're on Android, we'd love if you give us a download and leave a review. In typical non conformist PB fashion I do find it hilarious that we are available on Android before Apple; a karmic win for all our Android baddies.

Can't wait to see what everyone thinks of the app!!

I started this year with reading 60 books but i read 105 books so far! this is my first year to read 100 books, i usually read between 20-50 books no more past 50!

I have to admit that i always skip prologue and jump to read chapter 1 👀 edited: Why do I skip prologues and jump straight to chapter one?

I mostly read 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲, and after reading a few prologues, I noticed they often 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗹 things — like the 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘂𝗺𝗮, 𝗮 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗽𝗹𝗲’𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗲 — all of which 𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝗽 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 anyway. (This happens not just in dark romance, but in romance in general.) For 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀, I tend to skip prologues because they usually 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗽 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝘄𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘂𝗽 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆.

So for me, whatever’s in the prologue usually gets mentioned again in the chapters, which makes it feel unnecessary to read!

What. Was . That. If i could give this book 6 starts i would. Amazing.
