Anything Is A Bookmark Jellybeans, what is the strangest thing you have used as a bookmark?

Me, a booksleeve, even while the book was inside a larger booksleeve

Or it could be a mug coaster

Hi guysss,I'm curious how many books do you read at the same time? One or more? Bc I can't read more than one book at time(unless I don't have to read a book for school too) but I know some people that can read 3 books at the same time!

I just broke up with my bf of four years and was wondering what everyone’s comfort books are?

A book youve read? Fiction? Non fiction?

For members of any and all marginalized groups, what books have made you feel seen and/or are books you consider "the most" accurate representation? I've come across a lot of books that, while touted as representation, feel a little flat or stereotypical. Not all members of marginalized groups are going to be the best spokespeople through the written word, and everyone has a different experience, so not every book is going to be great representation for every person.

So which books really resonated with you and your experience, fiction or nonfiction, hopeful or devastating, overtly about marginalization or not?

I read a lot this year, and in August I kind of started slumping but I was able to keep going by reading weird books I would normally never read, but eventually that wore off as well. I was fine with not reading for the rest of the year, but I know that if I don’t push myself out of the funk it might carry on for years (like it has before) SO:

If you have any fun, short, interesting books PLEASE let me know. I like romcoms to get out of my slump, but a fantasy will do as well! 🧡

I think poetry books/ collections are beautiful and important but I’m not sure how I’m supposed to read them. Do you read the entire thing like a normal book? Because then you might not have much time to reflect over the poems. Do you read one poem every now and then and give it a think? In that scenario it might take ages to get through. What works best for you Pagebound folk? 🩷

I chose the audiobook for this and am unfortunately not a big fan of the narrator. I'm listening on 1.5x (as opposed to my usual 2x/2.5x) because I'm having a hard time with her enunciation, and even so, I'm still having a hard time keeping track of the story.

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)

"What if no one on Caltrey liked jam?" Girl! 😂I loved this series of silly, anxious questions she asks herself because I found it so relatable. This morning I was anxious about inviting a friend over to do a craft. I sometimes like to write out those thoughts because it helps me realize that I should calm down. And wow, once I saw it on paper I realized how silly it was. 😂 Of course my friend is going to love coming over for a Halloween themed craft! And of course the people of Caltrey like jam! Haha!
