What determines whether you'll follow someone? Lately I've been occasionally scrolling through new users and depending on the compatability rating and their finished books following them, I know some follow just because they are followed, or maybe running into a user frequently, but how do you decide who you want to follow, where have you found boundling friends?

Hello PBees 🐝

Hope Sunday is treating you well and you're fired up for a new week! I am not, but we are soon to enter May which comes with plenty of Bank holidays here in lovely France, making it one of our favorite month to go on W.E getaways, enjoy longer and warmer days and officially start the barbecue season 🥰

I personally love to find fellow Frenchies here so I'm always on the look out, and for me a telltale you might be French is... 🥁 Typography! It's not a surefire but we are one of the few countries that uses spaces before most punctuation signs, even other French speaking countries don't necessarily follow this rule. So if you write "For sure !", "Anybody knows ?", "Here are my picks :" etc, you probably are French 😉

Be on the lookout if you want to stay incognito as there is no space in front of any punctuation signs in English 🫣 I've been considering keeping this knowledge to myself so I can keep spotting some of you 😈 But sharing is caring, and I'm also very curious about other countries too!!

So my questions are:

• What are telltales you came across to spot your fellow country folks on this platform?
• Do you like to find fellow country folks?
• Do you prefer to stay incognito, would you rather we not point it out?
• Did someone mistakenly assume your nationality and if so why?

hi, guys! today i come to you with a request for a very specific sort of book rec: "pathetic wet blorbo going through the Horrors covered in blood and dirt, but the blorbo is a woman"

this comes from a discussion i've been having on my tumblr about how there's so little content/media about women being the chew toys experiencing horrors (and being a little hot about it). a lot of the times, in fandom and in canonical medias, this archetype falls to the men. i understand why - simply writing women as they are requires more work than writing men, but writing women going Through It requires even more work than just throwing a dude into a battlefield unprepared. it is a kind of difficulty that most creators don't want to contend with.

as a certified women lover, however, i like seeing a woman be covered in blood and be pathetic about it. so if you've got any book recs that fit this trope, send them my way. thank you in advance 💞

(an important rule: we can't have girlboss moments. no gaslight gatekeep girlboss, sorry)

Posting here as had a scan of the reviews but was seeing too many spoilers trying to find what I'm looking for! I'm sure I've seen people mention a couple of times that this audio book is top tier but want to check I've got it right before I spend a precious credit - can anyone confirm or deny?!
