When you are reading a book, do you actually select the edition that you are reading, do you not really care, or do you select the prettiest cover, if there is more than one available?

To be honest, I typically select the prettiest. Since we can select the medium (print, ebook, audio) separatel, I just look through the editions and pick whichever editions I like best. Sometimes not even the language matches (i.e. I read in german but like the english cover better)

Does anyone else do this?

(Edit: I just realised I can’t translate this literally (I think): Hand on heart is a german expression that basically means “speak from the heart”/“be honest”) (Edit 2: I found out “Hand on Heart” exists in english too! Yeay languages!!)

I'm trying to find a better way to keep track of when books are being published. Right now I'm using tags/shelves and end up forgetting about it until months later. My memory isn't the best and looking for other ideas.

How do you keep track? Do you have a different set up depending on TBR priority?

Thank you in advance!!

Hey y’all!!! I was just wondering if you guys have ever just fallen out of love for a certain genre?

For example, I started reading about 2-3 years ago and I was primarily a romance reader. Starting from YA romances like Better Than The Movies and The Summer of Broken Rules. Eventually I moved over to more adult romances and was completely enamored for the genre. The past year though I was reading more thrillers and literary fiction books and decided to take a pause on the romance genre. Now I’ve decided to go back and read three straight romance books and honestly they just don’t hit the same. Everything just feels boring and the same repetitive tropes are used. The writing for these books are fine, but I’m just not that in love with the stories like I used to.

I’m wondering if any of you guys have also experienced this same situation where a genre you used to read, just doesn’t hit the same like before?!?! Let me know :)

I currently have a kindle but I’m sick of giving money to Amazon and Jeff Bezos. I’m looking to switch to a new brand of e-reader. What do you use? Pros and cons of your e-reader? Any I should avoid (besides Kindle)?

I took some time away from PB because I was mostly reading comics and felt I was updating my stats far too often. Sadly, I didn't use ANY sort of tracking during that time so now my stats are really messed up.

I plan on going through and adding any collected editions or volumes for runs I've read instead of individual issues. What are my fellow nerds doing? And what would y'all suggest based on my reading goals for the year. 120 books which I know I will far exceed since im msotly reading comics now.

Edit: If I do collected rather than individual method I would be adding 30 books to my current stats. It's more for ease of time than anything as I wont be reviewing each individual comic for single issues.
