  • Book Reviews On Home Page

    Hi friends! This might just be something i’m not seeing but do book reviews not get posted on the main page… Is it only people achievements, forum posts, and comments that get posted there. I feel like I haven’t seen book reviews on there and I feel like that should be a feature. Am I missing something?

    This book was on so many levels amazing. It was way more then I expected it to be. What stands out the most is the disability rep. The way Sprinkle was able to show Rheumatoid Arthritis let me to believe I know how it feels (I don't!), but I felt every bit of Darcy's pain. At the same time this story is incredibly funny, cute and entertaining. I laughed a lot and couldn't put the book down. The MCs start off not liking each other and I think, this is one of the rare books, where it's actually well done; where both characters are in the wrong, but understandably so. I loved the ice hockey team and their friends and family. The characters are interesting and well portrayed. And I loved their dialogues.

    I removed half a star for the writing. While I think this book was a huge improvement to Puppy Love, there were a few scenes in which I wished there would've been less "tell" or interiority, at least without having the excitement of something happening or looking forward to something. Also, I wished there would've been a little more scenes on the ice, even though there definitely were a few really good ones! It definitely fit the story, but I can't have enough...

  • DNF policy - what makes you DNF a book?

    I DNF'd a book last night, and it got me thinking about what makes me decide to finally put the book down and give up ... so I was curious what you all think !

    I've noticed that once I get to the point where I'm ranting about how much I don't want to keep reading it specifically to another person, it's probably time to put it down. most of the time I don't talk to other people about books unless we've both read it, so it's a good indicator for me when I, unprompted, start telling someone about how awful of a time I'm having

    I also have noticed my DNF habits have changed since I used to DNF books rarely if ever, and going into the new year that seems to have changed ! I'm a lot more willing to give up on a book and move on if I'm not vibing with it enough

  • Using the "plan" page

    Hey folks!

    Just wanted to hop in and say that I really like using the plan feature on the website, especially from an aesthetics standpoint and I hope it'll also be on the app when it drops.

    Would it be possible to add a date section to the plan so we can visualise a little better when books are releasing during the month? At the moment I'm dropping back to other apps/websites that shall not be named (:P) to double check this and it would be neat to list it here somewhere.

    Probably not as easy as it sounds from a dev perspective as the book publication dates are currently only listing the year but maybe it could be at the bottom of the no doubt, very long roadmap or to-do list if it isn't already :D

  • Pet Reading Buddies?

    Now that there is markdown and it is easier to post pics, I'd love to see some of your reading buddies if you're comfortable sharing!

    I tried searching to see if someone made this post before, and I only saw one from before markdown and pics, so I thought I'd make this! Don't feel pressured if you aren't comfortable of course. I just love the happy little boost I get from seeing pets.

    (I strongly encourage kitty toe beans.)

  • games to play while listening to books?

    i usually tandem read my books but sometimes i'd like to just put the audio on and keep myself busy. i've tried to play games while listening and it never seems to work, but maybe i'm picking the wrong games!

    i like to play things like WoW but it takes way too much focus to listen to a book i've also tried "cozier" games like Stardew Valley and Fields of Mistria but i still seem to lose too much brainpower to the game to focus on the book the only one i've had success with is Powerwash Simulator lmaoooo but that one gets boring pretty quickly

    any ideas? preferably something i can play on PC!!

    🎧 4/5 (see below) 📖 Everything about this book is perfect. It is a very spicy read to turn your head off. I loved the characters, they're flawed and very interesting. The plot wasn't predictable and definitely kept me on my toes. The story was well thought-out. It felt very full circle and I liked how the final conflict was built. I'll have to check out Clevenger's other books.

    Towards the end I considered giving 4,5 stars, because I got annoyed at Emily for turning Alex down so often, but on second thought, it made sense. Also, I'm in love with Alex and how much she fought for her, she's the perfect MC.

    🎧 The audiobook was narrated by Lori Prince. Although I wasn't a big fan of their voice, I think they did a really good job with switching between the povs and all the different characters and especially with the sex scenes. It was really easy to follow and made me feel all the emotions.

    🎧 (see below) 📖 This book was fun. I removed one star for the soulmark/ fantasy parts, because I would've enjoyed their connection a lot more if it were rooted in something to do with their characters. I also removed one star for style, because I think we could've gottem more out of some scenes. And then I added a half star because I really enjoyed the tennis part. In the end, the matches could have been a little more detailed, but overall it was exactly what I expected a tennis romance to be.

    I didn't like the final conflict. Juliette's decision was a bit out of the blue and not entirely plausible. The resolution was too little and too fast as well.

    I loved Luca. I'd really like to see one of her games irl.

    🎧 The audiobook was narrated by Mia Hutchinson-Shaw and Jeremy Carlisle Parker. I liked the different accents and also in the story itself that there were so many different nationalities. It was easy to follow, but I couldn't really distinguish the narrator's voices. They sounded a bit put-on and I had to get used to the way (one of them?) stressed every word.
