If you could only ever read either one certain genre or one author for the rest of your life who or what would it be?

Mine would be romance as a genre , there are sooo many romance books

hi everyone, I was just sitting here planning my next visit to barnes & noble hehehe and wanted to know what’s going to be your next book purchase? how do you go about picking the physical books you buy? have you ever returned a book? what’s the most you’ve spent at a book store at once? yes I’m nosy !!!

( doesn’t have to be barnes & noble it could be any book store! )

I will be buying mate by ali hazelwood, love is a war song by danica nava, the twilight deluxe hardcover 25th anniversary set, and hopefully browse some other books as well 🧚🏼‍♀️

Today marks the 4th time someone compared me to the main character from Catcher in the Rye and every person I know who has read the book tells me that it's not a good thing so I have decided to actually read the book and judge by myself. (I'm not prepared for this.)

Which character from a novel would be a total red flag for you? I understand that a lot of dark romance characters would fit in this list, serial killers, criminals, abusers, and other archetypes that are universally hated as well would fit in here. So, to avoid obvious answers, beyond those if you were reading a book and realized that this person was written to give you the ick, even though in the book they have a point, who would it be?

Glad this is fiction so I can love the cop character lol

have to hit pause on this at the moment because I ran out of Spotify hours and Libby doesn't have it :( very upset.

I’m realizing I could never be with a 300 year old vampire bc his body count must be INSANE

so what, I’m number like 683? No thanks.

does anyone have any romance books that they ate up immediately??? i finished the books i had picked out for this week during my break 😭

lmaooo

What the title says. I've always seen people online refer to themselves as "mood readers" but for some reason never looked it up until now. The definitions I'm seeing online seem to describe it as pretty much "reading whatever you feel like," but how is that different than regular reading? Does everyone not do that? What is the alternative? If you call yourself a mood readers (or if you purposefully don't), how do you define what that is? Does it have to do with caring more about vibes and atmosphere than tropes and plot? Thought I'd ask since I've seen some people put it in their bios here!

Edit to add: Okay, you've all convinced me I'm a mood reader! The general consensus I'm seeing in the comments is that a mood reader is someone who doesn't follow a strict TBR list and just reads whatever sounds good at the time rather than making a plan and sticking to it. I always have at least 10-15 books going at once MINIMUM because my TBR is literally where books go to die—if a book sounds good, I start it immediately no matter what I'm already reading. I don't know the last time outside of a series I planned out what books I was going to read next and stuck to it in any meaningful way 🫣

When it comes to readalongs on PB, do you aim to read one of the books, or all of them? I recently joined my local library and aim to use my library card to try and read all the books in the Autumn and Dia de los Muertos readalongs. I know I only need one for the Dia de los Muertos readalong, but I couldn't decide between the three options tbh 😂 And for the Autumn readlong, I really want the sparkly pumpkin tbh.

I'm terrified future readalongs will include authors I can't in good conscience support, because that would look me out of the sparks badges 😥 And of course I'm very sad that I can't get the past badges because I only found PB when the app was announced
