  • Favorite book that embodies feminine rage?

    I support women’s rights and wrongs, what’s your favorite story that has to do with feminine or female rage? I’ve read Hungerstone, They Never Learn, and a few others. I have Poppy War on my list to read. Anyone got book recommendations for a lady angry at the world? 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↔️

    So I didn't read the synopsis for this because it's for bookclub and I was going to read the book regardless, and so I got the shock of my life when Collum got to Camelot lmao.

  • Last - Now - Next

    I absolutely LOVE doing this - it lets me see all kinds of things people have read, are reading and plan on reading. I get off work in an hour and I finished the book I was reading on shift tonight.

    So. What I want to know is everyone's Last - Now - Next! I started another one right after, but I am a mood reader and have no idea what I am going to read next.. so I need ideas from you all with your answers!

    Last - Fixiation of the Mind by Kira Stanely Now - Black Ties & White Lies by Kat Singleton Next - IDK lol. Maybe the 2nd in the series for my NOW book.

  • DNF policy - what makes you DNF a book?

    I DNF'd a book last night, and it got me thinking about what makes me decide to finally put the book down and give up ... so I was curious what you all think !

    I've noticed that once I get to the point where I'm ranting about how much I don't want to keep reading it specifically to another person, it's probably time to put it down. most of the time I don't talk to other people about books unless we've both read it, so it's a good indicator for me when I, unprompted, start telling someone about how awful of a time I'm having

    I also have noticed my DNF habits have changed since I used to DNF books rarely if ever, and going into the new year that seems to have changed ! I'm a lot more willing to give up on a book and move on if I'm not vibing with it enough

  • Peer Pressure / Recommendation Difficulties

    Am I the only one who finds that the more someone wants me to read something, the harder it is to get myself to read it? Or the more people that recommend a book, the less interested I am??

    I really hate that I am this way but it is out of my control. Is anyone else similar? How do you combat that so you can check out the things your friends love?

  • The Spellshop
    What books would you add to the pack-in-the-fifth-crate pile?

    I’m really loving the feeling of community during this fall reading challenge!

    Now I’m starting The Spellshop and at 1%, I’m wondering, if your library was being ransacked by rebels, which books would you take with you?

    I would bring The Outlander series, The Marriage Portrait and Ender’s Game. 🤔

  • We Will Not Be Saved
    Thoughts from 6% (page 22)

    I'm sad that they changed the title in the UK from "We Will Be Jaguars", because we've already had this beautiful quote.

    '"When we die, we become jaguars," he said. "We will live in the forest, tracking peccary and wooly monkeys. But we are not like any old jaguar. We are spirit jaguars. The souls of our ancestors roam in these woods. They remember everything. They carry sadness, anger, revenge, songs, healing powers. Only some of us can speak with them. The meneras and the meñemempos. The mother jaguars and the father jaguars."'

  • Do you keep every book you read?

    Physical book readers - I was chatting with some bookish friends and we were talking about managing shelf space.

    Are you the type of reader to keep all your books, or do you unhaul? If you unhaul, do you do it as you read or do you do it maybe once a season?

    How else do you manage your space?

  • games to play while listening to books?

    i usually tandem read my books but sometimes i'd like to just put the audio on and keep myself busy. i've tried to play games while listening and it never seems to work, but maybe i'm picking the wrong games!

    i like to play things like WoW but it takes way too much focus to listen to a book i've also tried "cozier" games like Stardew Valley and Fields of Mistria but i still seem to lose too much brainpower to the game to focus on the book the only one i've had success with is Powerwash Simulator lmaoooo but that one gets boring pretty quickly

    any ideas? preferably something i can play on PC!!
