  • Removing Dust Jackets?

    Exactly as the title suggests, question is do y'all remove the dust jacket to your books while reading? The one on the book I'm reading was annoying the heck out of me with the sliding and I realized it never occurred to me to just...take it off. Curious if that's actually the established approach haha!

    no bc what did we say last time

    I said if I had to read the word "darkness" one more time I was suing for damages. The first line???? Jail, no bail, no parole, no jury, indicted on all evidence pointing to Mrs. Faizal needing a thesaurus. nahhhhhhh my patience will be tested greatly with this book

  • Rainbow Book Challenge

    I saw this on TikTok and thought it would be fun here too! Just name a book with the same cover colour as the rainbow (plus some extras). I think it would be fun to see what everyone comes up with!!! I'll go first: RED: A Court of Thorns and Roses ORANGE: Love, Theoretically YELLOW: Fourth Wing GREEN: the perks of being a wallflower BLUE: Throne of Glass PURPLE: Sunrise on the Reaping PINK: Not in Love BROWN: The Secret Garden WHITE: Blood of Hercules BLACK: Onyx Storm

    this is the choppiest book I've ever read. It had a lot of potential, but man did it fall flat. I really didn't know what was going on half the time because there's so much descriptive language missing. Spent the majority of each chapter wondering what I'm looking at. Not because of the terminology used, but because this book lays out scenes the way my dad explains where to find something he wants me to bring him; out of order and all over the place. I'm not asking to be spoon fed here, but like, c'mon. It was a fun read! I think! Would I do it again? Probably not! I'm probs gonna read the sequel after this since I have it on my nightstand. I really wanted to love this series, but if I have to read the word "darkness" again I'm suing for the screen burn on my eyeballs. Love you ukhti
