  • Anyone watching The Summer I Turned Pretty?

    The show has me in a chokehold, but no one around me has been watching it so I have no one to debate Team Conrad/Jeremiah with 🥹 Have you guys been watching it too? I've been Team Jere in S1 & 2 but S3 has been a roller coaster ride 🤯 Any book recommendations for similar love triangles / character dynamics while waiting for the next episode?

  • Kindle - Yay or Nay?

    For months I have been trying to figure out if I should get a kindle or not. It seems convenient, especially when I am travelling to work or uni. Saves me from dragging a paperback with me which is fine because I have a book sleeve but....you know. Is a kindle worth my money?

  • Two-Sentence Horror Story

    Write me your best two-sentence horror story. No cheating! Use grammar as cleverly as needed, but only two sentences! I'll go first: The suede cushion of the couch catches my head in its recoil from a harsh sneeze, a sneeze that breaks the serene silence in my otherwise empty home. "Bless you," mutters a deep, raspy, unfamiliar voice from the foyer.

  • How to keep books from yellowing?

    Looking for book care tips! Every book I've bought eventually starts yellowing / develop yellow/brown spots / have their covers start fading after being on my shelf for a while. My shelf is not in direct sunlight either. For that reason I haven't bought any special editions yet despite how pretty they look. Any tips on keeping them looking fresh and nice?

    What's a book you were excited to read and ended up being disappointed by the end? For me it was Audition by Pip Adams. It's a trippy sci-fi that was right up my alley and just fell flat.

  • Pet peeve: trope edition!

    You know when you read a book and just hit you with something annoying? Yeah that, so what trope you just don't like? For me, this love triangle thingy it's soooooo off pls 💀 and hunger games squid games trials/competition Read enough books with that to be boring atp.

  • Where is your favourite place to read? 🛏️💖💭

    Random take but I love to read in the bath! I find I don't get distracted by my phone and my reading speed goes way up. Obviously bed is nice too but my other fav is the beach!

  • Tea drinkers 🍵: What's your favorite tea to drink while reading??

    Hi! What does everyone like to drink while they're reading? I love tea, coffee and juice, but tend to opt for tea most times. Some of my favorite teas are cinnamon spice, thai, chai, lavender mint, orange and lemon, strawberry mint, cucumber mint, and blackberry sage. BUT I need more exotic tea options, so I'd love to learn what everyone else finds enjoyable 🤗. Feel free to share non-tea options too, if you'd like!

  • reading while working out?

    i've always struggled with finding motivation for going to the gym or just any regular physical activity because i'm not a sports person and i just get genuinely bored doing cardio (treadmill/elliptical/jogging are my enemies) 🥲 i'm figuring maybe trying to add reading into the mix could help me. so do you usually or occasionally read while working out? if so, in what format (i suppose the most common would be audiobook)? what types of books, what genres? i'm looking for all types of ideas that could get me inspired to give working out another proper go 😆
