  • Under appreciated

    Hey pagelings ! I bought a new book which made me think ,

    Who's your favorite under appreciated author? Like one or a few with less reads on here than popular books

    I have a few authors like that. One is Peyton Corrine because there's not that many reviews or anything Unbound it seems . Another is Annie Crown , she wrote a basketball romance called night shift.

    If you really wanted to know what book I got during my adventures on Tuesday ( mini library searching and the book I got today, comment down below because some can fit in this category

  • Classics

    The last year I’ve wanted to read more classics. But I have no idea where to start.

    I always struggle with getting locked in with the books, mostly because I only read in English (not my first language) and hate reading in my own language.

    However I have decided to give the classics another chance. I would love to know what classics you guys recommend.

    There are a few classics I own; • The Great Gatsby • Romeo & Juliet • Alice in Wonderland (have dnf’ed this twice already🙃) • Dracula • Little Women • Sense & Sensibilty • Wuthering Heights

    I usually read light fantasy, romance or thrillers. I’m also open to classics not in this list :)

    If you’ve read classics before, what books are easy to get into? What would you recommend to someone who has English as a second language?

    I would love your recommendations 🩷

  • Rank your media!

    Hello! Obviously we all love books here, but I’m curious about everyone’s hierarchy of media.

    Kinda late to this party, but I just finished watching the show Hacks and it affirmed that nothing makes me feel the way a brilliantly-crafted tv show does.

    So, how would you rank the following: books, movies, tv, music, podcasts, and video games. Feel free to just rank ‘em or add an explanation!

    I think mine is: tv, books, music/movies (too hard to pick), podcasts, video games.

    Excited to hear yours!!

  • Reading low ratings of your fav books?

    Am I the only one who LOVES to read low ratings of books they adored? I don't know why, I just love it. I find them so funny too. 🤣 And sometimes they have so much true in them but it doesn't mean I'm suddenly going to stop liking the book. Please tell me I'm not the only one.

  • Favorite familiar/sidekick/pet type of characters

    There may be better words for these characters, but I'm thinking of side characters like:

    • Caz in The Spellshop
    • Calcifer in Howl's Moving Castle
    • Jiji in Kiki's Delivery Service
    • Moggett in Sabriel

    Or even pets like Old Dan and Little Ann in Where the Red Fern Grows.

    Characters that are pets or something like familiars that you grow to like or become attached to over the course of a book. Who are some of your favorites? I enjoyed all of the above and they're the ones that came to mind when I was thinking about this (I finished The Spellshop not long ago, so Caz was an easy one).
