  • Libby’s new feature for inspiration

    Has anyone tried the new feature in Libby? You insert #inspireme in the search function and it will come up with a set of choices available in that particular public library. It eventually narrows to about five or so choices.

    I picked “fiction” for “adults” that is “rogish” and a wide variety of categories across multiple genres were provided. From that list I chose “scoundrels gambling, scheming, and seducing in Regency London.” All the choices seemed to fit the bill, and I’d read none of them before.

    It was fun, and (IMO) a lot better way to use AI than trying to use it than creating new works in creative spheres. I suspect if I’d been in the library itself though, I might have preferred speaking with the librarian. Well, at least if it wasn’t romance I was looking for (you know: stigma, misogyny, and all that).

    Edit: I should add the books were all available immediately.

  • Percentage Update for CR

    Tbh… I’m not a fan of the percentage update while reading. I don’t get the hype 🤷🏼‍♀️ I think it’s more work than necessary. I totally get the reading list updates, or reading goal updates. What does everyone else think?? What am I missing??

    I’m curious why it was important enough to be added

    Did he just say he stubbed the joint out on his tongue?? That can’t mean what I think it means. Burning his tongue on purpose in front of his mom? Sounds like self-harm behavior. But doesn’t make sense in this context.

    I could never have guessed in the beginning of the book that I would gulf down 75% of it nearly non-stop. Once the book found its groove (around chapter 6 or 7 for me), I stopped being slightly annoyed that everyone was just super horny and there wasn't much plot or lore being revealed, and was able to just enjoy the ride.

    There's a dizzying heaviness to the lusty, romantic, Scottish countryside atmosphere of this book. It feels like they're all under a spell and so are you. It's an exciting feeling, slightly spooky, very spice-heavy, and disorienting.

    The ending of the book was exciting, giving us some much needed plot-development! Makes me actually want to continue this series, wishing for a dark and twisted sequel ✨️✨️

    I would call this a vibey immersive read for a weekend at home alone, not something to pick up if you're looking for a literary masterpiece. But it was really fun all the same, and hit the spot just right.

    I'm going to be completely honest I went into this half blind bc I love Blake but I did not expect it to have this much talk about motherhood... (I personally do not care about it 💀)

    truthfully, this is gonna be an early dnf cause how is it chapter 5, i know nothing about the world, the girl, the magic system whatever and the plot is just thrown in my face? a 3 page glossary of names is not world building

    also ‘entitled bitch’ is accurate, since i just find you jarring
