I was thinking about how the are 4 types of readers(of what l have seen and heard!)✨️ ★First is your normal reader:they are reading the physical book and well it's ofc the classic one😌 ★Second is the audio reader:They don't read the physical book but they listen to it!(thank you to all the voice actors for making our favourite books sound so good!🥹) ★Third is the kindle reader:they also don't read the physical book but the "online" version of it!(and ofc they buy the physical copy as a trophy 😉) ★Fourth and lastly we have the audio and normal reader:They listen to the audiobook while reading the physical copy!(it helps some people to focus to the story😊)

->Well,which reader are you??🤭 Personally lm a classic reader ✨️ 😌l love the feeling of the physical copy🫶🏼Also l kinda have a very bad focus when lm reading online,l get easily distracted by everything 😶But l would love to try to read in kindle,it looks fun!😁

HELLO It’s time for Who’s Who Wednesday where every Wednesday we introduce ourselves and make new friends. This is part 3.

If you participated in any of the times before, you don’t have to introduce yourself again but you can share some different facts about you, an opinion you have, or how your week is going.

If you’re new, introduce yourself!

I’ll go first.

My name is JadeLovesBooks.

I am very very very very type B personality yet for the most part everything seems to work out. I’ve never read Harry Potter or seen the movies and have zero interest in doing so I am 8 years sober I don’t care about Taylor swift (I’m sorry)

Sometimes you really love a book, but for whatever reason you can't recommend it to anyone you know in real life.

Maybe you don't know many readers! Maybe it's a genre your friends don't like! Maybe it's too spicy or too violent! Maybe it's just too....weird!

Recommend that book here that you can't recommend anywhere else and maybe it'll find a new home with someone in the comments :)

⭐️ The book I can't recommend IRL but desperately wish I could: No One is Talking About This by Patricia Lockwood. It's definitely in the "too weird" category. It's a commentary on how we relate to each other and ourselves in our online brainrot age, and it's written in the form of these disconnected stream-of-consciousness blurbs. In the first half of the book, the narrator describes going on a world tour after one of her posts goes viral. Her life exists online entirely. In the second half, something happens in her real life offline that changes everything for her. The whole book is strange, esoteric, and deeply moving. It's one of those books that I'll be thinking about for the rest of my life, and anytime I see a review from someone saying they don't like it or don't get it a little piece of my heart dies. It's not a book for everyone, but it WAS a book for me—and I'm desperate to find someone who got the book and loved it to way I did.

Just like the title says. A few other people on other apps got mad I asked this question because ' it's rude' to them.

I'd like any queer book written by aqueer author because I'm queer

The other day I was talking to someone about mixing book genres, and the thought of comedy+terror appeared. Do you have any weird ideas of mixing topics and recommendations? I'm talking truly out-of-the-box experiences 👀

i found myself to be in the biggest reading slump for a few years & maybe it’s largely due to finding other hobbies BUT i always set my goal low every year to at least 20-25. i never would reach it, this year? surpassed it 🫨 48/25!!! super proud of myself! all thanks to my trusty kindle tbh!

I am absolutely loving the current quests and I must say they are definitely fattening up my tbr! My question is… do we have any ideas/ hints as to what some future quests are? What are some quests you’d like to see? Particular books you’d want to see in future quests? <3

Lately I've been wanting to listen to audiobooks but i just cannot sit and only do that so i was wondering: what do you all do when you listen to an audiobook??? Maybe puzzles, painting, driving?? Idk give it all to me!!

Hello!

This isn't necessary a book rec request (also please let me know if this isn't the place to post and I will delete.) I've had a spur of creativity and wanted to create an IG post (I know i know i know, im sorry. I have a bookstagram but I am very lowkey on it)

Anyway, sorry what I want to ask if, what are some books that provide true "I'll burn the world for you" or "I'll start a war for you" kind of vibes? In a....literal sense xD

(this is my first in the PB Forum, im usually in book forums or commenting on other posts in the Forum, so i apologize for being all over the place)

I'd apsolutely love to improve my German even more and through books would be an ideal way to do it! Looking for any genre, but it has to be clean and no spice. Romance isn't my favourite genre either. Any recs?

I should be working now with these crazy deadlines swirling around me, but one question slipped into my mind last night, and it is not going anywhere, apparently. 🤷‍♀️

So I thought about this: You go for a cup of coffee (or tea, or whatever you fancy) with any dead or alive author, but here’s the twist: you get three questions, and that’s it. Who do you choose? What do you even ask? My brain won’t let me drop it! ☕📚

Honestly, my first thought was to invite J.K. Rowling just so I could blurt out, “GIRL, seriously, WTF???” 😤 But then I caught myself, because, come on, that’s hardly the best use of this golden opportunity. I've got to make it count, right? ✨

So scratch that! I'm absolutely going with Jenn Lyons. She's the perfect storm of twists and insane energy. Every page feels like we’re about to get whiplash from laughter or gasp so hard we spill our drink. 😂😲 And the subversion of the tried-and-trusted fantasy is unparalleled. The old tropes are given real-world life (and a healthy dose of snark) so that suddenly epic fantasy is for everyone, not just the die-hard nerds (like me 😬). She's a breath of fresh air, to be honest. Family politics, power struggles, heart, laughs, twists. It’s all there. 🌪️❤️

So this is what I'd ask her: 1 - How the heck do you keep all that wild chaos from exploding everywhere and still make your stories hold together? 🤯 2 - What’s the story behind your craziest twist. As in, what made you decide, “Yeah, let’s just do this”?⚡ 3 - If you could jump into one of your characters’ shoes for a day, who are you picking and what kind of mischief would you get up to? 🔄😄

And if you notice that someone else took your author crush before you, go ahead and add to their comment. Present your own reasons for choosing the same author and your three burning questions, maybe they'd have some answers for your questions. ahah 🧵💬

Fuck sake. Slaughter process tour. Shouldn’t have read any of this book before lunch. 😂

we’ll see how far I make it in this bcz I’m already not a fan 😭

Suggest me some beginner friendly Standalone Fantasy books!! I want to explore this genre too. But I don't want to start with long series like SJM's . Need some easy going recommendation 🥹

(I am fully aware this is bound to be a controversial opinion, I don't mean to target any comment or user in any way, I deeply wish to hear the general feeling about this)

As someone who has been occasionally using the PB app for around half a year now, it's more than common to see new people coming and asking for recommendations on a specific niche Great, amazing, let's get the education starting!

The community is growing and people are loving it here But every other recommendation post that I see is often met with some polite rejection and links to a number of lists>> Now lists are great and there are many for every taste but they don't always work for a personalized recommendation. First of all there is already a huge chunk of them for one person to see them all of they don't have the time to spend too much time on the app. The most popular ones are also pretty overcrowded with more than 50 books in there which can be overwhelming or just not helpful if someone wants something specific

And as the experience grows you get familiar with the app and the users, you will find people who you connect with their tastes and trust their judgment or see their posts 💗 For now (at least to my update of the app I don't know if there is a feature available overall) personal messages are not an option, posts like these are often how users get better involved with the fandoms and others. I just feel like the experience gets a little shaky when all the comments are gesturing to a list without recommending even a book from there. The intention might be good and to be completely honest I have found many of my favorite lists through chat. Thanks for reading all that if you did btw

Hello everyone 🧚

I was wondering if you are able to read or switch between novels that you are reading? I find it so difficult to read more than one novel cause for me it feels like I’m cheating on the one I am suppose to read?! I feel like it’s a commitment to stick to one novel even though I have multiple tbrs that I want to start immediately and I feel the novel that I am currently reading is not it but I feel somewhat guilty doing that 🥹.

What are your thoughts on this topic? 🧚
