Hey guys!

I have never read an audiobook before, but lately I’ve been realizing how much I drive and how I could be spending that time reading (I love music, but after awhile I’m kinda over it, and I only like 1 or 2 podcasts)…

I know a lot of people on here have certain narrators they love and things like that, so I was wondering if anyone had any recs for my first read! I’m pretty open to most genres, but I’ve not really gotten into spicy books in my reading journey, so I think I’d want to save anything like that for another time. I love mythology, sci-fi, thriller, action, mystery, drama, and also more educational content (space, nature, animals, etc.)!

Thanks in advance :)

Do yall have any book recommendations for books which have short chapters,no smut,nth weird and i want it interesting, im also not lookong for a specific genre i just want it to be entertaining and attention-grabbing, maybe something similar to the maze runner

Hello 👋

Not sure if this is the right spot to ask but I was wondering if you guys had any recommendations for an Agatha Christie mystery that was summer coded? A nice mystery book to read by the beach perhaps? Or any other summer coded mysteries not written by her works too! Thanks!

I have so many books I saved in my TBR and Interested category but I have no idea where to start and what to read next once one of the books is finished.

I would appreciate any suggestions and some advise how do you use Plan future of the app, I think it would be helpful to know what’s on my list next.

Hii i will be heading to a little roadtrip soon and was wondering about good audiobooks to entertain me. What are your recommendations? i am pretty open to genre just please no smut :)

I was thinking about this last night as I watched the last episode in the Vera TV show from the UK and felt they left too many avenues unexplored even though they had a long run.

If you had the power to resurrect:

A. A book series, for at least one more book; and B. A TV show, for at least one more season,

which would you choose, and why?

A. For television shows, in addition Vera, there is of course Firefly (the characters and world are wide-open for further exploration, given how limited the run was). Also, I quite liked Fringe, with John Noble and Anna Torv, and I would certainly have watched more episodes of that. I don't watch tons of TV so I may not have as many here as others.

B. For books, I don't know if a Song of Ice and Fire is technically dead, but if so I'd resurrect that so I can actually read the ending. Also, more Conan stories, if I could save Robert Howard from his sad fate. I'd bring Octavia Butler back to finish her Parable books. Also, Rosemary Kirstein's Steerswoman books (which I'm hoping will still be finished).

I could name more, and of course there are plenty of authors I'd love to bring back in general, but I'm limiting this post specifically to series.

I used the search bar to look for this and could not find anything, so I wanted to know if anyone on this app have any personal icks?

One of mine is half naked men on the cover , kind of like the old Heated Rivalry covers . Plus the MMC's being named Hayden ( any spelling ) , or a super duper clingy FMC . Admins can remove this if this has been asked but curiosity gets the better of me this morning

What are your thoughts on people cutting a book slack for bad craft, storytelling, writing, etc. just because a book is YA.

I often see it in reviews (i.e. “The book is YA so I can forgive it for the choppy sentences, but…”) and it lowkey bothers me. To be transparent, I’m not the intended audience for YA (my frontal lobe is actually almost fully developed ☝️😌), but I feel like we shouldn’t forgive/accept issues in a book JUST because it’s for a younger audience?? Like, 12 to 18 year olds deserve good writing too?

I’m not saying that criticism or forgiveness about certain things because of the age range isn’t valid. Sometimes you want something to go deeper or darker but you forgive that the book doesn’t do those things because it’s YA. But when it comes to actual craft/writing and general storytelling, I feel that YA audiences should get quality books.

But maybe I just don’t understand something or am not aware of something? Idk 😅

A friend of mine recently asked for book recommendations to get her started when she knows she often struggles to get into books. I want to give her some good recs so as not to put her off!! I was thinking of putting her on to some short Agatha Christies as she said she's open to easy going murder mysteries. But everyone drop your (preferably short) reads guaranteed to please someone who doesn't read often.

Good evening Bookaholics!!

This is a very late question of the day to usual but I thought I would ask one anyways.

I recently received an early birthday present in the shape of some new bookish merch (a hoodie, 2 jumpers, and a bookmark) so here is the question of the day to you all:

Do you have any bookish merch? And if you have a lot, what is your favourite?
