Ok, I feel I might be stretching a bit with this one but if its possible, I'd really like some sort of place or an option to save or mention my favourite quotes from the books I read. I'm not a very technical person lol so I don't know how this will work but some section where I, or perhaps everybody, can add or highlight their favourite lines underneath a specific book, like nearby the forum area? If there already exists some option like that, then do inform me cuz maybe it just slipped my notice heh

Having said that, if anyone would like to share some of their favourite quotes from recent books or otherwise, I'd love that :D

Hi All, I just wanted to check with everyone on whether there is an app update I missed? I vaguely remember the mention of end of July, or was it end of summer? Let me know if I missed an update. Thank you!

Hi everyone!

It is my favourite time of the year here in Scotland, because it is the Book Festival in the capital, Edinburgh (pronounced Ed--in--bruh).

There is a slew of online events, talks which are filmed and put on the website, which can be watched FOR FREE (they do not have to be watched live, for those of you with time zone concerns). You just need to reserve your spot (i'm not sure if you need an account, but you can also make one for free.) There are lots of authors and other speakers (mostly british) covering a range of topics and genres, both book related and life related.

A couple of big names there! V E Schwab and R F Kuang to name a few, talking about Bury Our Bones and Katabasis respectively!! And I am going to Samantha Shannon's talk on 'The Art of Fantasy'. You can view the whole list of speakers here.

Click here to view the online program! Plus, plenty of last years talks are on the video player :)

(and if you feel extra cool you can donate to support events like these!)

I use Everand (formerly scribd) for audiobooks and ebooks and I liked it before but I have a bone to pick with it🌚 There's this new thing where they limit how much you listen and read as some books (especially on your "saved" list) become only available after a certain date - even though I'm paying for the whole month... So if you have recs for good audiobook apps I'd appreciate it🙏 (NOT audible though🤢)

I have been going through my recently read books from this year and last year and it's primarily white authors. Even my TBR list is primarily white authors. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed all those books and excited to read my TBR.

However, I would really love to support more BIPOC/POC authors, as I myself am Mexican. Specially with so many of our voices trying to be silenced even more as of the last few months (yes I live in the US 🥲).

Please recommend me either your favorite authors or books written by BIPOC/POC! ❤️

Curious to know what the first book of the month is for everyone!

For me, it's Winterlight by Kristen Britain. The end of my reread is nigh!
