  • "Add to Plan" Feature

    Hi everyone! It may just be me and my scatterbrain at times, but anyone else think that it would be nice to have a feature where you can add books from your TBR view to your monthly Plan? Again, it may just be me, but there are times I just mark multiple books as TBR when I see them, and then when I go to my plan page I end up forgetting the list of newly marked books so it becomes a dance of going back and forth between the TBR page and the Plan page 😂 Please excuse my rambling/wishful thinking if I end up being the only one thinking this. 😭🤣

  • To Annotate or Not to Annotate - that is the question

    Hello everyone~! Does anyone not annotate in their books? Like, I see on book socials and stuff all the time of people organizing their notes or annotations with color coordinated sticky tabs or pens/highlighters, people drawing little memes and stuff for their reactions to stuff. But I cannot take notes on or in a book to save me. I hate writing in my actual books because I like to donate them from time to time, I can never put my thoughts or opinions in the proper order to write them in a separate notebook without getting the plot lost somehow, and I'm just really unorganized. I respect the time and dedication that it takes, but I feel exhausted just thinking about it. Does anyone else have this problem so they just choose not to annotate/note or is it just me?

  • A Pile of Currently Readings

    I'm curious if anyone else has this problem, but I often find myself reading five or more books at once. Between library, audio, digital, and physical books, my currently reading list can get quite large. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by it, but the thought of only sticking with one book makes me worried about getting bored. Does anyone else feel this way? How do you combat it?

  • The Strength of the Few (Hierarchy, #2)
    This book is thick

    Just got the galley copy, this is a thick book, 707 pages paperback (subject to change slightly). Going to probably start this soon, but trying to hold off a little since the official release is so far out but I can't wait to get back into this world!

    Hey everyone, sorry for the radio silence - busy times. Holding off on posting my March progress update, because I want to include the official release date for The Strength of the Few... which should be announced around the end of this week! So stay tuned... - James Islington on his Twitter. Release date incoming 😬

    “What are you? A baby dispenser?” Setsuko laughed, scrunching up her nose. 🤣😅 I love their relationship so much
