I always thought that nonfiction books are boring and so hard to get through, but this? It's such an eye-opening, informative, and wonderful read.

What are some books you love that need way more recognition?

I have stacks I want to get rid of, but they aren't worth selling. Is it common for public libraries to accept donations or what? I'd hate to throw them away. 🥲

r.f.kuang what the literal fuck?

I'm curious - for those who read fanfiction do you find yourself seeking out tropes and genres similar to books you read? Or are they vastly different?

For myself I don't mind things like accidental baby acquisition, omegaverse, or single parent in fanfiction, but I would never go near a book with those things in them. Similarly, I don't mind books with love triangles, mafia related topics, or gods/goddess in them, but if I see those as tags for a fanfic, I'm not about to click the reading link. There's some stuff that has overlap though - fantasy, magical realism, and friends to lovers to name a few.

What's your take (if you read fic)? Have you noticed specific preferences overlap at all or are the things you're interested in reading from a book totally different from those you read in fanfic?

So I just finished an intense book (Kingdom of Copper) and it was great, and I want to jump right into the third one but I have to order it and also… I kind of need a break because I’m a bit mentally and emotionally exhausted from it. I am historically bad at picking out chill books. I was considering Piranesi next because it’s on my tbr list and I have it, but I get the feeling it is not very chill. I recently was reading nonfiction and was getting really worked up about it, and so I started reading a scifi book “so that I could read something more fun” and lo and behold it did nothing to bring me out of my doomy “the world is horrible” mindset lol. So, I want to know. What are some good palate cleanser types of books?

No one in this book acts like a real person.

Not feeling as intrigued like I usually am for my dose of T. Kingfisher…I guess it will take me a bit to get into it again 🥲

I am intrigued to explore more of Gideon and Harrow’s relationship as so far I understand a lot more of Gideon’s animosity to Harrow but not Harrow’s hostility towards Gideon (other than Gideon just being, understandably, a little shit) and how this’ll develop as they go through the trials and tribulations that await them both.

The world that is being built up is making more sense to me little by little but im not quite fully immersed yet.

THEY ARE SLEEPING IN ONE BED!!!!
