  • Your job in books

    Okay so I just saw Bunny's post abou what everyone here does for work and it is so lovely to see how diverse this community is in terms of jobs. And a new question occurred to me: do you see your job represented in books often? Have you ever seen it? What did you think, was it done well, or did it annoy you? How could it be done better? I'm curious!

    (This question brought to you by my grandparents who were doctors, and watched medical dramas with loud and angry commentary :D )

    What does she put in these books? Enumbers? Nicotine? Crack cocaine? I. Cannot. Stop. Reading.

    I'm reading the Women's Prize Noms in order to be challenged to get out of my comfort zone, but this year's emphasis on historical fiction has certainly been a challenge for me! The emphasis on motherhood, women's rights and the birth of the women's sufferage movement here is definitely compelling, but I'm hoping that we see a little more development of identity as a theme as I think I'd find that a little easier to relate to narratively!

  • ereader help!

    hi all!!

    i’m stuck in the middle of a bookish decision and i need something advice!! i’ve been looking at the new paperwhites - i currently have a kindle oasis that i got in 2018.

    while i love my oasis, i’ve noticed its slowing down, and the battery life has gone down a LOT (a full charge gets maybe two or three days) which as a slow reader is frustrating. i also carry my kindle in my purse and i think something a little more compact could be useful.

    anyway- i’m torn between if i should upgrade or just stick with what i have rn! any advice is appreciated!
