What a ride. This one is definitely going to be one of my favourites.
I loved the letter writing, the clues, the dual POVs and the ending couldn’t have been any better.

Every day, I scroll through the Discover tab to find out what's on the featured emoji list, most discussed, most finished and most TBR'd yesterday ... so it got me thinking, how do you use the discover section? Have you been influenced in your reading choices by what's in there? Have you found new books this way? Or are you like me and count how many books are already in your library on those pages to see if you can beat your personal best?

What was the last book you read that made you cry and why? 💔
For me it's Where the Crawdads Sing. I felt for Kya, such loneliness to bear from a young age being left behind over and over again, not knowing why they do. 😭

Ive never really been a fan of audiobooks? I can’t seem to focus on them. But i’ve been trying to give them another shot lately. So far I managed to like 2 (one nonfiction, one poetry), and dropped 2 others. And i think both of the ones I liked had the authors themselves narrating - which i really liked.
I kinda wish audiodramas were more of a thing tbh (like the chinese do). I’ve listened to some snippets of some and really liked the effort put in, but ultimately found that my having to read subtitles defeated the purpose that I would hope to use audiobooks for.
What are some of your favorite audiobooks? Audiobook narrators?
Are there any audiobooks that have multiple narrators or at least narrators who do a good job of differentiating different characters’ voices?

I can already tell that I’m going to wish this book was longer when it’s done 😍

Hey guys, I wanted to hear your thoughts on how you pick your next read. In January I read a lot of amazing books and in February I struggled to feel the same high with the stories I picked up. The thing is, I have a lot of different genres on my tbr, I also have a lot of unfinished series and it makes me feel paralysed/frozen so I just end up looking at my shelves, wondering what I want to read, but not reading bc I can't decide. I tried a few books that didn't work bc the timing wasn't right but I don't want to start and not finish another one yet again. Especially when I have some free time I feel like I'm wasting it by not knowing and it's like a small failure that causes both frustration and disappointment with myself.
I think in general it's not always easy to know yourself enough to 1. know what you like and 2. know when you like it. It's a real dilemma for me bc I want to be able to be spontaneous and leave some space for surprises in my readings but at the same time it gets tiring when I realise I'm unable to figure out what I need for some time. Sometimes I even wish someone would choose for me lmao but then again would I have fun idk
Have you ever struggled with this and if you did, how do you cope?
For context I'm hesitating between a few romantasy/romcoms, depressing contemporaries or classics, epic fantasies or space opera. I'm also trying to read what I already own instead of buying more.
