i wanted to preface this by saying that this is my first year being back into reading after a major slump, so i’ve loved all the motivation and incentives pb and the community has been giving me for reading more!

for my brain, things like parallel play really help me focus and follow through with things! though it’s not exactlythe same, buddy reading on here over the past few months has felt similar, and has encouraged me to actually stick to (some) of my book plans! so grateful for all of you who have buddy read (or are buddy reading) with me this year 🤩

how do you guys feel about buddy reads? have any of you had any standout buddy reads that you’ve really enjoyed? either on pb or elsewhere?

Does anyone else have the strange urge to start reading a new book on New Year's Day or is it just me? Right now, I'm worried I'll finish my planned reads for the month early and have days before the new year.

I also like taking more care in choosing what I read to kickstart the year, too. Please tell me I'm not alone.

I read Six of Crows some years ago and its left this huge gaping hole in me that can only be filled with more action-packed heists and lovable characters. Any recs? (if its similar but doesn't include heists ill maybe take that too, im desperate)

I love the way the author is characterizing King Jonathan now. Like, he had that tinge of imperiousness (more than tinge) in the lioness books. But watching Kel assess him is a pretty significant change from watching Alanna assess him. Especially interesting because of how strongly Kel feels about duty and honor.

hello, does anyone have recommendation for good fantasy/fiction books that has chinese folklore / chinese mythology as undertones? some examples are the poppy war and daughter of the moon goddess, so I am looking for more.

Thank you

Not sure if perhaps I just haven’t found it yet, but is there a way to look at a series page? Where there’s every book listed in order so you can go to the next book easily. It would be so cool too if there’s a forum for the series so we can discuss more broadly.

I’m in a reading slump and i was wondering whether anyone had any recommendations of books that cured their reading slump, preferably easy to read and short but not necessarily

Thanks ♡
