what are people's opinions on author's changing the covers of their books?
clarification: this is in reference to an author who changed the covers of their books (specifically the new ones. that haven't even come out yet) half-way through the series. so you won't have any of the "old" covers on the newer books and won't have any of the "new" covers on the older books.

Happy Wednesday, Boundlings! 💜
I feel like society always focuses on the big wins, the all out effort, the productivity.
I want to hear your small wins, the ones that would go unnoticed as a win if you didn’t mention them.
Did you get out of bed this morning? Have the perfect amount of creamer left for you coffee? Did a stray cat meow at you and made you feel warm and fuzzy?
These are all wins! I want to hear your micro wins for the week! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hello friends! I love being a lesbian and it's my favorite week of the year. What is your favorite lesbian novel? What's your favorite thing about being a lesbian?
I have to go with Emily Austin as my favorite lesbian novels! And my favorite thing about being a lesbian is de centering men and mixing masculine and feminine qualities
Hoping this brings some joy and love to your feed :)
StJust commented on gracie's review of Like This, But Funnier
Some versions of this book have an Amy Schumer quote on the cover and that is very representative of the overall vibe. At times, this book was incredibly relatable and demonstrated the complexities of humanity and those were my favorite parts. But it is also a style of humor that I just don’t connect with. I can see this being an absolute hit for some people, but overall, it just wasn’t my type of book.

Hihi!! I was wondering, what are your guys' thoughts on buddy reading? Have you tried it before? Did you enjoy it?
It's something I've been interested in, but I feel like the moments where I both have time to read and have the capacity to read are so random I don't want to put a friend through that haha.
I do really enjoy reading a friend's recommendation so I can discuss it with them after, I'm currently reading Dungeon Crawler Carl after a trusted friend recommended it, and I love pestering her with rhetorical questions about the mysteries of the book.

my current reads have pretty quiet (in fact, silent) forums, so I'm reminiscing about other forums I've been in and enjoyed!
I actually found quite a few friends from the forums for The Idiot (Dostoevsky) and Vilette (Brontë) 💕 love bonding over pain and absolutely devastating books
it's also interesting how a popular forum will go through ups and downs in activity! not too long ago, I though Pride and Prejudice was bustling, but it's quieted down.
I'm curious, which forums do you remember being fun? 👀

I’ve checked and I couldn’t find a specific post so hope I’m not duplicating!
As more quests come through and they all look so good, it feels a bit overwhelming there’s literally so many books to read and obviously I want those badges!
I’m curious to how people are:
I’m not really a spreadsheet person (do enough for work) and currently in the process of transferring the quests and all their books as part of my bullet journal! I then have spins wheels for each quest which usually pick my next 5 out of each quest! But I’m curious as how other people are navigating it?

I’m curious as to why the author has chosen to translate the place names when they’re mentioned the first time, then go back to naming them in French afterwards. For example, we see the chapter with “Song-Of-Angels” in the title, then Chanson-des-Anges later on. Or “White Rock” followed by Rochelle-la-Blanche. I wonder if that was an editorial choice. It seems like it could get confusing if you can ’t connect the French, since it’s not stated that these are the same things.
(This may be my translator brain over thinking 😂)
