A very heartfelt story about grief, chosen kinship, and the cat distribution system. The story starts off funny and quirky but then goes to ease in the more emotional beats as the book goes on. I loved how a lot of details were sprinkled throughout chapters would often lead to bigger scenes or gave more context on why Ove is the way he is. Would recommend to anyone looking for a book that will give them the same feelings as the first ten minutes of the movie "Up".

Fictional books that feel like a warm hug, featuring magic and whimsy and perfectly happy endings. These are lower on stakes and higher on good vibes!

What are your tips that can help you read in the car? Some people feel (headache or nausea) when they read in the car, but me, I can’t focus on the reading!

How do you guys remember what you just listened to on an audiobook? I have the hardest time because while I am listening I feel like I understand whats happening but a few hours later I couldn't tell you what I just listened to.
I started audiobooks only recently as way to get through my stories while doing mindless tasks like cleaning/driving. I really like it because I am able to "read" a lot more but when I think about books I've listened to on audio I have a hard time recalling all that happened, where when I physically read the book I remember a lot more.
Do you guys have any tips on how I can work on this? I don't want to just give up audiobooks entirely!

I've never owned an e-reader but I'm considering getting one. My main reason is for portability, I commute to uni so it would be nice to have something to do during my travels. (Also, my bookshelf has officially ran out of space so I'm having to put books into my clothes drawers TT).
Are there any distinctive pros and cons I should be aware of? Is there a wide range of books that you can access?
And, is there any particular e-readers you guys would recommend 🙂↕️? I don't have a massive budget so I'll be prioritising affordability over premium features for the most part.
I'm completely unfamiliar with how they work so any and all information is welcome 💛.

You know what my favorite bookstore to go to is? My local library’s donated/second-hand bookstore. I can go there and bring $20, and walk out with about 4-5+ books! Most are hardcover, and once you wipe them down they look just like new. If you have one of these, i totally recommend going! Maybe you’ll find a hidden gem for just $4

It slips my mind at times because I don’t have an app to just open up. It’s a hassle to constantly log in on the web browser on my phone. How are you all updating this one along with Fable, StoryGraph, Good reads or whatever tracking app you use?

Paused my reading of this book back in June but I'm finally in the mood for it. Forgot how much I was enjoying the story 💙

I want to get into journaling the books I read. Any recommendations on types of things y’all log? Stars, thoughts, summaries, etc.

when you guys take a book along for a trip or vacation, is it one you haven't read before or one that you have?
I'm going to be out of town for a few days and I don't anticipate having more down time than my short flights will grant. for that reason, I'm thinking of bringing a familiar title along. it'll be like traveling with a friend (:

I have been seeing a lot of discourse regarding book cover preferences lately. I wonder if anyone has ever gotten the ick from a book cover? If so, did you still read the book, or was it an immediate no thank youuuu?
