I’m sorry - is this meant to be so boring ? 😭

I think it's quite obvious on my finished list that it's Torrent Witches Series by Tess Lake. I'm having penchant for Cozy Mysteries that I can't seem to put down these books. To think that there are ten books in the series. 😵

These are just really cool! Thank you for adding new levels (platinum looks really awesome)

1. Classics forever or only new releases?
2. Unlimited books or unlimited time to read?
3. Amazing story but bad writing, or beautiful writing with no plot?
4. Reread your favourite book forever or never reread any book again?
5. Only read books under 200 pages or only read books over 500 pages?
6. Always sad endings or always predictable happy endings?
7. Lose the first chapter or the last chapter of every book?
8. Only read books by your favourite author or discover a new author every time?
9. Only read series or only read stand-alone novels?
10. Always have books spoiled for you or never talk about books again?

What are your thoughts about quests about a specific series/author/universe?

I know PB is moving away from these, but as someone who reads primarily long fantasy series I think it's a shame.

Perhaps there needs to be a third quest type, separate from main/side quests, to host these.

Today my electric dehumidifer decided to dump out all of its water on my bookshelves consequently flooding them.

Thankfully my books are fine, thats the main thing.

But, how the fudge niblets do you dry out bookshelves?

They're that wet they're peeling like bananas where they've been exposed to water 😭

Will my books be safe if I continue using these bookcases?

Yesterday I told someone that I like to read and she asked what kind of books I read. And I just kind of... blanked. I have no idea how to describe my reading habits.

So that made me wonder, how do you describe your reading?

Maybe I get some inspiration from all of you. Also, of course feel free to look at my profile to see what kind of books I read.

1. hardcover / paperback
2. physical books / e-books
3. standalone / series
4. single pov / multiple povs
5. dark themes / lighthearted reads
6. happy ending / open ending
7. annotating / keep pristine
8. buying books / borrowing books
9. daytime reading / nighttime reading
10. one read / multiple reads

When I was a kid, my absolute favorite books were the Moorchild, Island of the Blue Dolphins, and A Little Princess. I haven't read them as an adult, except last year I listened to the audio book version of the Moorchild, which of course gave me a whole new perspective on it but which I still loved.

This made me want to reread my other two favorites, and then I got to thinking, how fun would it be to have a kind of forum or read along or challenge where we revisit books from our childhoods 🥹

So I wanted to ask what books everyone enjoyed as a kid and if anyone would be interested in rereading their favorites 🤗

First, I want to say thank you to everyone who helped bring all the new quests and badges. They are so cool!

With so many awesome quests, I was wondering what everyone's favorites were and why? Also, do you have a favorite badge?

I personally can't choose. I really like the "Gothic Literature", "Blood suckers", and any of the classic quests, as I love those types of books. I am also super excited for the new "Tragic Love: Queer Edition" and "Achillean Across Genres" quests for similar reasons. Additionally, I really like the "Those Who Lurk Among Us: Monster Manga", "Best of @SimonBooks Debut Women's Lit", and the "Poetry Starter Pack" quests as they are helping me branch into new genres and discover books I wouldn't have otherwise picked up. If I had to choose a favorite badge, it would probably be the Platinum Dark Academia one.

This might not be a popular thing to do but I actually really enjoy watching movies first and then reading the book for more context. Many people say that the books are usually better than the movies, so it's also fun in that sense: you will not be disappointed. Can anyone relate?
