    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?

    Thoughts from 13% (page 39)

    This has been sitting on my shelf for so long and now I’m finally starting it—obsessed already. Vibes are fantastic. Can’t wait to read more.

  • what's the last book that made you cry?

    Sometimes I'm in the mood for a good cry. I think the last book that made me cry was A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman, which I was not expecting. I'm currently reading Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner, and I already know there will be tears.

  • Reading Motivation, Habits & Rituals

    Let’s talk about reading habits! How do you make reading a regular part of your day? Do you have little rituals that get you in the mood to read, or tricks to stay motivated even when life gets busy? For me personally, I really enjoy reading once I get started – I can get completely absorbed and read for hours. But honestly, the hardest part is actually starting instead of scrolling on my phone. 😅 I’ve been trying to build a habit of reading every evening, maybe with a cosy cup of tea or hot chocolate, but I’m not sure how to make it stick. I often end up scrolling on my phone instead ... I’d love to hear from you: how do you stay motivated? Do you have special routines or rituals that help you read regularly? Any tips or advice would be so appreciated!
