  • Do you pre-order books?

    This may be a no brainer to some people, but I've always had the habit of buying books when they come out, if it's a book that I've been really looking forward to, or even later when my bookstore has a sale. And I've since realized how common it is for people to pre-order books, sometimes months in advance, and also how important it is to support the author, but also for the author and bookstores to get a sense of how many people are interested in the book. Do you tend to pre-order books or just buy it when it comes out?

    Thoughts from 72%

    I love that by becoming everyone else's therapist, Phoebe's able to work through her own stuff. Also, I'm a little confused why people think that Phoebe is(/was?) an unlikeable character? She seems like an amazing person; she's so kind to everyone even if they're not kind to other people. I'd love to hear someone's thoughts on this :)

  • Favorite book?

    Okay, so, whenever anyone finds out I love to read the first question is always, "what's your favorite book?" - this sends me into a panic because I, personally, read way too many books and LOVE way too many books - not to mention whole series - to pick a favorite. I always inevitably end up giving a long winded answer in which I give them my top five with caveats lol. So my question for you guys is: what is your favorite book? Can you pick one? I'm sure you all get asked this, what is usually your answer?!

  • Childhood books

    just wondering which books/authors everyone loved as a child which remain a cherished memory. I was 100% a Jacqueline Wilson gal, with a touch of ‘ally’s world’ and Roald Dahl

  • The Wedding People
    Preliminary Thoughts

    I'm a little nervous going into this book as it's completely out of my comfort zone, but that's part of the reason why I picked it. I fear it'll be one of those books that puts me into an existential spiral and leave me questioning my life choices and depressed about the way my life is currently going, BUT I'm hoping the humor that the blurb is promising will ease the anxiety. Reading through a couple reviews, I am a little doubtful, however, that the humor will get me through it as it seems the novel is less funny and more heavy. We'll see!

    Ithan’s POV is absolutely killing me. He is so dumb and everyone just keeps letting him do whatever he wants. Also I feel like you could see what was going to happen to him coming a mile away??

  • How do you all find time to read so much? ⏰📖

    Hey everyone! 😊 I’ve been wondering… how do you all manage to get everything done and still find time to read so many books? 📚✨ Do you have routines, tricks, or any tips to share? Would love to hear how you fit reading into your days!
