  • Hilariously Titled Books

    There’s a recent thread about age gap books And I was just scrolling through it and someone mentioned a book titled “Your Dad Will Do” and I’m not gonna lie I almost laughed so hard I cried. It’s just such a hilarious title for a book to me. I don’t care for regular romances and I don’t care for age gaps but I may actually read this book simply for the title.

    What hilariously titled books have you stumbled upon?

  • Robin Hobb starter advice

    Hi, everyone. I haven't read any Robin Hobb books, but she's come up so often in my feeds and in conversations lately that I'm taking it as a sign. So... does anyone have advice of what would be the best place to start in her work? Perhaps at a point where I can enjoy a story without needing to commit to umpteen different series before it all makes sense? Full disclosure: I generally have a relatively low tolerance for world building (I often start with the second book of a series), but I have a higher than average enthusiasm for court intrigue and other kinds of information gathering in fantasy. Also, I love dragons. Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

  • New app layout and forgetful fingers

    anyone else constantly opening the sidebar/menu now? I use left swipe all the time on mobile to go back to the previous screen and now that swipe pops up the side menu instead. It's surprised me how difficult it is to retrain my brain to stop using the swipe!

  • Counting pages

    Okay this is definitely not a big deal at all. But let's say a book is 300 pages and the first page of writing in a book was page 4 and you've only read that first page. When you update your reading progress for that book do you say you've read 1/300 or 4/300. Again, I know this isn't a major thing but I'm curious as to what people do!

  • Her Vicious Beasts: The Beginning
    100%

    It is interesting to have a novella for a prologue. But seeing how this why choose fated mates is lowkey similar to the first why choose (and also fated mates) book i’ve read, kinda gave me a small warning signs on how i’d like the book. Still, too early to say so ig we’ll see…

    Audiobook so far is great tho so that’s good 😄👍🏻
