  • Sunk Cost Fallacy - Readers Edition

    I recently DNF'd a book after getting through quite a bit of it and it reminded me of a convo I once had with my sisters.

    We were pretty much on the same page about DNF-ing books we simply just weren't enjoying, as we all knew lots people who felt shackled to a book the minute they opened it. I was talking about how I only recently freed myself of that mindset and said something like "yeah, I got over 70% through a pretty boring book before I remembered I have free will and ditched it" One of my sisters then says if I got that far I might as well have seen it through???

    lol anyways I was wondering how everyone else feels about this? Do you think there's a "cut-off" point where DNF-ing is āœŒšŸ¾allowedāœŒšŸ¾ and if so what % do you think it is?

  • looking for fantasy book recs!!

    hi all! recently I’ve taken an interest in reading some more fantasy books and was hoping you could recommend me some of your favourites!

    I’ve had a look through the numerous fantasy quests for some ideas, but am a little overwhelmed with how many options there are so I was hoping someone would provide some recommendations for me! I’m fairly new to the fantasy genre and am open to all kinds of plots, but I do have a preference for magic based words! I also love love love detailed word building, and am willing to sacrifice a bit of characterisation if the world is super detailed!

    I’m a complete fantasy noob and the only fantasy books I’m aware of are the popular ā€˜booktok’ recs (from like 2021 so they’re a bit out of date), so I’d love to read some hidden gems you’ve discovered!

  • What book character do you have the biggest crush on?

    Just a fun simple question I don’t think I’ve seen someone ask yet on here!

    I just read Katabasis, and Peter Murdoch made me kick my feet and go ā€œheeeheeeheeeeeeā€ āœØšŸŽšŸ§šā€ā™€ļø I love a nerdy and gangly guy. I also, however, would die for a glimpse of Cassian (ACOTAR) in real life. A CRUMB of attention from him.

    It’s so fun when a character feels so real that you can’t help but blush when they do something! Who makes you fangirl??? ✨🩷🤪🫶
