    Why are they talking about lead-free deodorant in the year of our lord 2025? Does she mean aluminum? Does Meghan Quinn believe that you have to be careful about your brand of deodorant to avoid LEAD?

  • Small font size and spacing

    Sometimes, the font and spacing of a book really affects my focus. I would be enjoying a book but the tiny words will throw me off. Does that happen to you?

  • Question for the Obsessive-Inclined

    Hi, boundlings. I guess this is similar to a reading slump, but the opposite...?

    Recently, I read a book and loved it so thoroughly (as I'm sure most of us will understand). I don't normally listen to audio books but I enjoyed reading this so much and I wanted more of it, so I downloaded that as well. I instantly went out, and searched for the hard cover. For the past weeks, I haven't been able to pick up something new. I have a physical tbr shelf with titles I'm genuinely excited for. However, I find myself constantly going back to the audio book or flipping through the pages of my favorite parts, and am just unable to get invested in new characters.

    Do you fully lean into this? This is a part of me now, other books be damned.

    The book itself isn't revolutionary by any means. It's not ground breaking and can be corny and has many flaws... but once I finished it, I didn't want to put it down and just move on to a new story and characters.

    How long does it take you to want to be interested in something else? I usually like to give myself a couple of days and sit with my thoughts before my next read, but its been ages now. I know I want to read something new, its just not sticking.

    If you read this far, drop your favorite fandoms so I can drown in something new.
