I recently read Miss Buncle's Book by D. E. Stevenson, about a woman who writes a book under a pen name because she needs the money, and sends her village into a tizzy. I'm craving similar books: preferably about a heroine who writes a book secretly, or writes a book with unexpected results. I have already read Angel by Elizabeth Taylor but I'm looking for books that are more cheerful than that.

Consider that I don't really have libraries around. Or, at least, none with books I'm interested in. Checked the few there are out already. I might try going back if I'm desperate, but I doubt it would serve much.

I have another few books at home, but none I want to read. I'm reading two books now, but I'm not particularly liking them, and I'm not in the mood for them now either way. I would like to buy something new, but I'm saving up to treat myself a big order this summer. Which means all April and all May only with books I don't care about.

Do you have any suggestions? I would rent some books from online libraries, but I need printed copies that I can carry to school as well. Any ideas on how I could get more into the books I currently have? I don't want to stop reading for two whole months and I don't want to give up on the book ban challenge. First of all, because I want to prove myself I can go two months without buying something if I set up the challenge.

Problem should be solved: I checked with some friends and my parents and they gave me a bunch of recommendations I'm eager to read. They'll lend me the books. Thank you for all the advice! Love this community

Was thinking about the Dewey Decimal system, as I most often am lol, and got onto thinking what I would be under, and went for a gander 🐈 Personally, the category i would probably associate with myself the most is 786 Keyboard, mechanical, electrophonic, percussion instruments as I'm big into music and production 🙂‍↕️🐈

What category would you assign yourself, and why? 🌸

If anyone would like to hop on with their category, here is the link for the wiki page i used to see them all: dewey decimal classes

Happy categorising ! 🐈📚✨️

I’d love to hear if anyone has named their pet(s) something bookish (e.g., after a character, book title, etc.). Bonus points if you share a photo 💗

I’m currently reading Howl’s Moving Castle and my brother had an orange cat named Calcifer (named after the movie but still) and it’s made me think of him throughout

The longer I have persisted the less cringeworthy this has become, which at this stage feels like high praise... Bee could not whine or be more self centred if she tried. I find myself wishing there was duel POV just to get away from her thoughts. Levi wanting to make things last longer did make me chuckle at the relistic similarities to real life.
