    Well that's it, if Lord Henry was real and alive today he would be an incel with a podcast.

    Sapphic book sugestions here✨

    I've been getting quite some suggestions for books for this quest, so I thought it might be easier to have a specific place just for suggestions (if you've already commented books, don't worry about it, I've already have them written down and will add them over time 🫶). Please ensure that the book has a sapphic romance/sapphic main characters that are important to the plot! Looking forward to your suggestions :)

  • Tiny Bookshop

    Tiny bookshop just came out today on Steam and the Switch. It's an indie game about owning and managing a mobile bookshop that you take around a city by the sea. You get to pick what genres you have and try to match customers to book recommendations. I played the demo and really liked it but I'm trying to decide if I should buy. Has anyone else bought it or planning to buy it?

    Thoughts from 48% (End of Chapter 9)

    These characters are so selfish and stuck in their own little headspaces. It's crazy how each one is obsessed with the own idea of the other. I find them all to be tragic in their own way. Really enjoying this classic so far.

  • Books that made you... 🤔

    Was there ever a time, when you were reading a book, that made you do a double take? As in the weirdest scene, sentence or moment you've read in what you thought was meant to be a normal book. Or something a character did that left you so mad because it didn't make any sense?

  • Reading Journal Ideas

    Hey fellow bookies 🫶🏼 So I’m planning on creating a reading journal, since all journals I find online don’t seem to cover everything… I want to create it on Canva and definitely share it when it’s done. Maybe even put it on KDP one day. Tell me about your musts in a reading journal. Please, bookies, me all your ideas on them 😍

    I know Cameron is a manchild but he just got kicked out of his home and his "best friends" can't give him more than two days on their couch? I hope the author isn't hoping on my liking those two very much...

  • lighthearted fantasy/cozy fantasy recs? ☺️☺️

    hi loves! i’m going through a tough time right now and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for fantasy books that are more on the lighthearted side? i don’t mind cozy (i’ve read Legends & Lattes and Bookshops & Bonedust) but i also looooove a good epic fantasy, which i know can run a bit dark. i don’t really vibe with romantasy as much nowadays but if anyone has really high standards and a good rec i’d love to give it a try :”) just tired of the contemporary right now with discussions of jobs and the world around us (i’m unemployed as hell 🥲) so need a bit of an escape!! anyway thank youuuuu hope everyone has a lovely weekend!
