  • Do you consider a DNF book READ book?

    When you DNF’d a book, do you mark it as a read book? I usually marked as a read book but i never added them to my yearly challenge/goal

    What books have made you feel seen/are peak representation for you?

    For members of any and all marginalized groups, what books have made you feel seen and/or are books you consider "the most" accurate representation? I've come across a lot of books that, while touted as representation, feel a little flat or stereotypical. Not all members of marginalized groups are going to be the best spokespeople through the written word, and everyone has a different experience, so not every book is going to be great representation for every person.

    So which books really resonated with you and your experience, fiction or nonfiction, hopeful or devastating, overtly about marginalization or not?

  • What's the WORST fantasy series/book you've read?

    Everyone on here always recommends the most amazing books. The ones they loved, the ones that changed them.

    But give me a fantasy book or series that you wanted to rip apart- that you only finished out of SPITE

    I very much enjoy reading 1-star reviews of books to see if I would hate the book too, or if it would actually be for me. People are more honest about a book if they hated it 😆 (in my opinion)

    So give me a fantasy book you hated, and why?!

  • 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

  • What's your favourite genre(s) to read?

    What's your favourite genre(s) to read and why? I love romance because I like the fact that they are very character-focused and it's centred around how these characters interact. Plus, it compliments other genres very well when done correctly. I love fantasy because I love escaping into fantastical worlds. It's the perfect blend of epic plots with rich character development. When people think of fantasy, they often think of Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones medieval type books but there's so many unique subgenres encompassed in the fantasy genre as a whole. I love Romantasy because when it's done correctly, it's a beautiful pairing of some of my favourite aspects of fantasy and romance.

  • How many books do you read at the same time?

    Hi guysss,I'm curious how many books do you read at the same time? One or more? Bc I can't read more than one book at time(unless I don't have to read a book for school too) but I know some people that can read 3 books at the same time!

  • so i just found out about the kobo ereaders

    how did i not know these existed???? i desperately want one now, but i know i don’t need them 😭😭

    i primarily read on my phone, and it’s pretty convenient and easy. getting a kobo would literally mean more work and prep. but omg they’re so pretty and i could put stickers on them 😫

  • Question for the creatives here!

    How do your reads influence you in your creative journey?

    I do a lot of creative stuff, and here are all of the things I made, inspired by books!🥰 📚Writing: I am working on a soft scifi/horror novel, and it wad inspired by a lot of things I've read, mainly "Az utolsó emberig" by Zoltán Benyák, "Arc of a Scythe trilogy" by Neil Shusterman, "The Mirror Visitor quartet" by Christelle Dabos and the "Evillious Chronicles light novels" by mothy/Akuno-p. ✏️Poetry: I have to admit, I don't read eough poetry, but I still adore Attila József and Miklós Radnóti and they inspire me a lot! 🎨Art: I mostly draw characters from my stories, but I still make a great deal of fanart for my favourite reads, and also the stuff we read in literature class. My latest fanarts were little character portraits from Anyegin by Puskin. 🧸Crochet and sewing: I love makig little fantasy creatures! I also ended up accidentally sewing a cat that resembles that one button eyes creature from Coraline (never read it lol). 🌄Photgrapy: I only began taking photos not so long ago, but I really wanna take pictures with dystopian vibes! 📔Bookbinding: I printed out the entire fantranslation of the first Evillious book, sewn and binded it! I just really wanted to hold it in my hands. 📿Jewlery making: I made some little fantasy mushroom themed earrings out of air dry putty!

    If anyone wants pics of them Ill try to add them in a reply!

    Sooo, what kinda creative stuff do you do?

  • How do we feel about ghostwriters?

    We had this discussion in class today, but I wanted to hear more opinions. How do you feel about ghostwriters? Is it acceptable to use a ghostwriter?

    I feel like it’s so accepted in nonfiction, but what if it came out that one of your favorite authors had a ghostwriter or a team of ghostwriters? How would you feel?

  • Blood Over Bright Haven
    Question before deciding on reading this book

    I saw this Instagram video about R.F. Kuang and M.L Wang and the tokenization of both these authors: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQJwOWlk1k9/

    My reading of what I gathered from video (which just person with words written over them) and comments is that there are white savior aspects to Blood Over Bright Haven? And the reason people take issue with Babel seems to stem from the fact that Kuang won't pander to white people by doing that?

    But the thing that I really wanted to speak on was a specific comment. I do not know how to make a gif from my photo of it, but I will write it out:

    "HAHAHAHA I was so close to picking up blood over bright haven then @bingsujung talked about the reverse racism fantasy and ML Wang making the people of Korean names the ones oppressing the people with Japanese names, i think that's what it was...that combined with the others things i've heard from them, I'm not giving my time to bobh that's just me thouh" written by faithlakasan

    My question is for those who have read this book: Did you see any of this, do you know if this is enough of an issue that it is better to avoid this book. I am not here for white savior shit so I most likely won't pick it up anyways, if that is the case but the part in the quoted comment...how bad is it? I have not seen anyone talk about these issues before. I don't know why...I can guess but I'd like to see what people on here have to say about this.

  • The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea
    Thoughts from 16%

    LOOK! I’m enjoying this book so far, but I can’t lie I’ve been stuck in a MASSIVE reading slump for over three months, and it’s scaring me that this hasn’t grabbed me from the get go. So…motivation please 🥲 tell me this book is worth the struggle.

  • How does everyone track their reading stats?

    At the moment, I'm using Storygraph just for the stats, but I won't lie, having to remember to keep up with multiple bookish platforms is annoying as hell. So, in 2026, I'm really hoping to tackle Google Sheets and be able to form a reading tracker over there... I just have no clue where to start. So, if anyone has any Google Sheets info or advice, I would really appreciate it! Or, if you use a different platform to track your stats, I'd be interested to hear that too, as an alternative if I end up disliking Sheets.

  • Love to Hate

    Happy Friday Everyone! I would like to consider myself as a lover not a hater, but there are just some books I read that I can't stand. And it just irks me when I see so many people love them. So, what is a book that just gets on your specific nerves that no one else seems to understand. For me it's The Cruel Prince by Holly Black, Alchemised by SenLinYu and Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros. Ok I just had to get that off my chest. Also, I will say this is my personal preference, and I have chosen to die on this hill.
