Any of yall get fun bookish tattoos? I want a crow perched on a stack of books.

(If you have HP tattoos I don’t wanna hear about them as I am trans and do not want to hear about that)

Hi friends ~ Could u maybe comment your perfect summer read please ? I've been going through an everything slumb and I'm craving a summer read that's fast paced , not boring and would help me live the summer vibes so I can maybe drag my home loving self outside for some summer activities .

Hello friends! I'm making myself a little fall curriculum if you will, or a mini challenge for myself. I saw a post recently on IG by genrepodcast where a bookish creator was listing the mothers of all "romantasy" authors from the early 90's-00s. The point was that these romantic high fantasy have existed long before the trend and that there's lots of older books out there to read that aren't trending. I've always loved romantic fantasy but the current trends haven't been hitting for me. Too much romance focus, not enough of the fantasy elements, in my opinion, and the writing leaves much to be desired. It did make me nostalgic and want to read more of the oldies I've missed previously!

I'm read (or attempted) some of them but am looking to you, my fellow Boundlings, to suggest your favs! In summary, I'm looking for (1) older fantasy books with some romance (2) written by women and (3) that you loved. Here's a few I have written down from the post and the comments: -Dragonriders of Pern -Earthsea Cycle -Dragon Prince -Heralds of Valdemar -The Black Jewels

Go forth and give me all your best recs!

Edited for clarity (I hope!)

I am officially on holiday in Korea and Japan for the first time ever!! (AHHH!!!)

I would love any recommendations! I want to buy atleast two books while I'm here. I have already read and liked:

Before the coffee gets cold 1&2 What you are looking for is in the library Butter (liked the writing but not the story) Strange houses Welcome to hyunam-dong bookshop

Please and thank you, much love - Me

I've been giving a lot of thought to the best way to sort my bookshelf and I'm curious, how do other people set theirs up?

Right now I have separated my books by format and then alphabetically by author. Separated by hard covers, paperbacks and mass market paper backs. I have my hardcovers on a riser and the mass market paperbacks go in front because they're short.

Also opinions on stacks? If I have a bunch of books by one author, in the same format I turn them on their side and stack them to save space

I've done other set ups in the past, I've organized by genre and then by author and I've even organized by height

As I'm reading more and more I'm discovering a lot about my reading habits! For a while I was a one book at a time kinda person and then I started reading a couple at a time, usually a novel, a graphic novel, and an audiobook, but the more I read right now I'm realizing I think I am a one book at a time person? I also think it depends on what my novel is because sometimes if my book is just too good, I don't want to read anything else because I don't want anything else to distract me from my book...

How many books do you read at a time and does it fluctuate?
