If there's a way to change the skin color for the emoji people, I can't figure it out. So I've been using a black heart for main characters who are black, and non-fiction books where being Black is the subject matter🖤 Also, I couldn't figure out a good emoji to represent dystopia. Settled on the red SOS square 🆘 Also, was trying to mark a book written by a Sikh author about the impact of 9/11 on Sikh Americans and the correct symbol wasn't even available 🪯 If there's a way to address this that I just don't know about, y'all feel free to let me know.

It's like reading a Ghibili movie! So pretty. I dunno why though I can't exactly pinpoint what's not working for me.

"and sprinkled seasalt over the top" nine seconds later... "and was surprised by the burst of salt that prickled her tongue" Is Kiela having short term memory loss or something? What is this? Bad writing?

I wanted to love this so much but unfortunately it fell short of my expectations! I’ll preface it by saying it was my first cozy fantasy read so maybe I’m just not used to the genre - but overall it just felt too simple and almost a bit juvenile and predictable. A lot of the concepts were super cute (who doesn’t love a talking spider plant!) but the execution was a miss for me. How does this compare to other cozy fantasies? Any recs for ones that have similar cute vibes but a bit more of a complex plot?

i hate insta-love tropes u have known this man for 5 MINUTES 😑

I’m reading this book and I love the vibe and the atmosphere, I especially love reading abt the MC just doing mundane tasks (gardening, cleaning, making jam), my only thing is that I dont love is the romance (nothing against the author, Im just personally not a romance girlie). So basically, I’m just looking for a cozy little book that I can read in the fall with no romance <3

I can honestly say I've never loved a gingerbread man more than I do now.
