I just got one in the sale and I'm obsessed but now I feel bad for my physical tbr that I'm meant to be getting through. Also what are people's opinions on kindles?

What are people’s theories on what the new book is about? Has Sarah J Maas hinted at anything? I’m so excited for its release!

I honestly did not have super high hopes for this one based on reviews but I just gobbled it up in like 6 hours I adored it

The other day I was discussing rereading books with someone - and it got me thinking. Do you reread? If so - which books do you commonly reread? I reread the Kate Daniels series (or basically anything Ilona Andrews writes) every year.

I thought it would be kind of fun to see where in the world people are, and then folks can make friends with people from the same countries/ares (if they way, not pressure obviously). I'll go first. I'm Canadian, and more specifically I am in British Columbia (Vancouver Island if you want to get fancy. Try to find your country and join that thread! Everyone else?

Are you a mood reader or do you strictly abide by your TBR for the month?? I have a monthly and yearly tbr and I seldom follow it 😆 I'm afraid I'm a notorious mood reader ✋😭

Do you guys own many books? I never did growing up because I went to the library. Even now,I only buy books that I have read and loved. But seeing people on social media's own walls full of books has made me curious about other people's habits. So, I would love to hear about your habits. Do you buy books right away? Do you read all of the ones you buy? How many do you own/do you get rid of many?

Ahh booktok, so controversial. But we love it anyways hehe. Because I thrive on highly opinionated discussion, please don't hold back! (BUT, because we are all kind, educated readers, let's not be hateful towards people who have different opinions than we do ;) That being said, I'll go first: *inhales slowly* Fourth Wing is meh and Iron flame was almost impossible to get through... the hype, I just don't understand it!! Please tell me I'm not the only one.

I lost my job a few months ago, so I've been going through a million jobs and trying to figure out what I want to do in my future and i'm wondering how did you actually get a job in a library?? Because working among shelves of books, helping readers find their next obsession, and just being surrounded by that cozy, quiet vibe sounds like a literal dream. Maybe it's not all sunshine and rainbows though haha. I feel like every time I look into it, the requirements feel a little intimidating like, do you have to have a Master’s in Library Science? Are there entry-level roles you can start with? Volunteer opportunities that lead somewhere? I do know how challenging and competitive it is though so maybe this is just best as a huge dream. Regardless, I'm genuinely curious! If you work in a library (or have in the past), how did you get your foot in the door? It's okay if you want to be vague for safety reasons. And if you don’t work in a library, is this something you’ve also daydreamed about? I've been daydreaming a lot lately haha.

Moonstar commented on minsuni's review of Done and Dusted (Rebel Blue Ranch, #1)
Well, this was disappointing. I already had low expectations so color me surprised when I started reading this and it turned out worse than I thought. The story itself was ok, very basic and generic but I really don’t mind that. My problem is that everything happened so fast. They see each other again after a few years and as soon as Luke sees her, he’s already thinking about her in his bed and in just a few days, he’s already obssessed with her… be so for real. There was no chemistry between them, no tension, no yearning, no nothing and their feelings developed too fast. The writing in this was awful. A lot of short sentences in a row, words repeated twice in the same sentence that definitely could’ve been replaced with a synonym, and so much telling instead of showing!! There’s literally a part of the book where Emmy starts to learn to ride again, and instead of showing us what that process is like, she just says: “Riding lessons were going ok”. How about you actually shows us how the lessons are going?? Also so many time skips in the same chapter, one second we’re in one place in the morning, and the next chapter is already at night in another place. Everything happened so fast with barely any development in each scene and it just felt rushed. The main plot of the story besides the romance, aka Emmy going back to her home town because of her injury and her being afraid to ride again, was kinda forgotten and rushed and I’m still so confused. The riding lessons to get her back to trust being on a horse again didn’t even last that long, she got offered to participate in a competition out of nowhere and it didn’t take her long to accept even though she was, supposedly, still scared of riding, and then she tells almost no one about this injury, which I feel like it’s a big deal and something she should have told her family. She lied to her family and never actually told them the real reason why she went back to them. Make it make sense.
Moonstar finished reading and wrote a review...
I needed a pause from a more challenging book so I picked this up. It was a fun, enjoyable, quick read, although I'd like to have known more about literally every single character. The fact that everyone is kind of surface level is my only big gripe with this. Other than that: lovely book!
