Do yall count manga towards your yearly reading goal? I’ve been tracking what volumes I’ve read on here but I haven’t included the dates to keep it from tracking towards my goal just bc I don’t know what I would consider a book equivalent. It takes me a while to get through a book but I can read several Volumes of a manga in one sitting so I don’t know how to make that equivalency.

The Spring Readalong went live around 1:40pm CT this afternoon, so you can now start earning your Spring Readalong badges!

If you're still seeing the Winter readalong on the app's Discuss screen, you may have to exit/relaunch the app to force a refresh.

Reminder: If you've already read one of the selections, you can earn your badge by commenting or posting in the forum - but please do not post reviews or low effort posts like "I liked this" "posting for my badge" "I still remember reading this". Comment instead! The forums get a ton of activity during readalongs, and these posts bloat the forums and create a lot of work for our moderators.

So do you think dragons would be ground poopers or are they pooping while flying? I think since they are somewhat bird-like they're pooping while flying.

What was the last book you read that made you cry and why? 💔

For me it's Where the Crawdads Sing. I felt for Kya, such loneliness to bear from a young age being left behind over and over again, not knowing why they do. 😭

Probably a silly question, but-

Do you ever have trouble putting into words why you liked a book in a review? How did you work around this? Leaving only a star rating? Or trying to write something short?

I'm asking because I'd love to write a couple of reviews of books I liked, but I find myself unable to articulate why and what I liked. 😔 I found easier to review books where I had to explain what didn't work for me in contrast to what I liked, meanwhile now I'm just staring at the blank page trying to get anything down except "I love it/it was good", even if I try following some template/questions guides. 🙃

I'll accept any tip&advice! Thank you!

Everybody in this book is so damn relatable 😌
