I want to read this book because my BEST friend don't stops saying a lot of things about It. Now I have to read It. This happened to someone else?

I'm currently packing for a short 3 day stay at my friend's house to dog sit while she is away and have gotten to the inevitable part of the packing experience where I need to decide how many and which books to bring. As a mood reader that is a bit of a struggle and I know that I'm pretty likely to bring twice as many books as I'll probably even start.

But this led me to think of the question, How many books do you usually bring on a tripp, is there a planned tbr or do you just go off of vibes? Maybe you bring a little bit of everything for variety? I'm curious how do you pack your reading for a trip?

i found myself to be in the biggest reading slump for a few years & maybe it’s largely due to finding other hobbies BUT i always set my goal low every year to at least 20-25. i never would reach it, this year? surpassed it 🫨 48/25!!! super proud of myself! all thanks to my trusty kindle tbh!

internally screaming - this is soo good!!

“There were words for people like Andrew Perrault. Desperate, maybe. Awkward fit, too. Coward stung, but it wasn’t a lie.”

Okay, I’m hooked!!

May I know how you guys rate books? Because I'm too afraid giving a book under 3 stars 🫠 But recently there's just some books that I know I didn't enjoy it, but at some chapters / some point I get it why people recommend it ... But it's just not my type 😭🙏🏼

(I am fully aware this is bound to be a controversial opinion, I don't mean to target any comment or user in any way, I deeply wish to hear the general feeling about this)

As someone who has been occasionally using the PB app for around half a year now, it's more than common to see new people coming and asking for recommendations on a specific niche Great, amazing, let's get the education starting!

The community is growing and people are loving it here But every other recommendation post that I see is often met with some polite rejection and links to a number of lists>> Now lists are great and there are many for every taste but they don't always work for a personalized recommendation. First of all there is already a huge chunk of them for one person to see them all of they don't have the time to spend too much time on the app. The most popular ones are also pretty overcrowded with more than 50 books in there which can be overwhelming or just not helpful if someone wants something specific

And as the experience grows you get familiar with the app and the users, you will find people who you connect with their tastes and trust their judgment or see their posts 💗 For now (at least to my update of the app I don't know if there is a feature available overall) personal messages are not an option, posts like these are often how users get better involved with the fandoms and others. I just feel like the experience gets a little shaky when all the comments are gesturing to a list without recommending even a book from there. The intention might be good and to be completely honest I have found many of my favorite lists through chat. Thanks for reading all that if you did btw

Tell me the author(s) that you automatically read whenever they release a new book please I wanna know 🥹🫶🏻
