Happy Friday, everyone ! I have a post that could be intriguing/interesting .

What's a book or author that has always been reccomended to you but you won't read ?

Or

if that will start fights here's one or two that you could answer if you wanted:

What's your perfect drink and reading spot to read/listen your absolute favorite book ?

OR

What's a genre you absolutely love or hate?

I have a few answers for all but I want to hear everyone's opinions

Okay so I miiiiiiiiiight be on my second glass of wine and I’m just scrolling through my main feed and want to follow some more people sooooo comment a fun little fact and imma follow people so I have more cool PB friends to talk to (I’m v sarcastic so if that’s your vibe IM YOUR GIRL🙂‍↕️)

I am a fan of how Bennett gives little bits and pieces of Ana and Din’s past and then ties in those tidbits with the history of the world at large. Each of these books has been a self contained entity. A beginning, a middle, and end. A traditional format for most books but especially for mystery series and yet I would be hard pressed to reccomend to anyone reading these books out of order. You would miss the blooming of the flower which is Bennett’s world building.

i’m so curious what everyone does while they listen to audiobooks! i usually crochet while listening, but i’d love to know what everyone else does :) do you just listen with your eyes closed or gazing at the wall? (does anyone do that?)

TLDR; go get a damn library card (please. Pretty please. And thank u 👉👈)

Story time

I was a cryptic pregnancy 😱😱 My mother didn’t find out till 7 months in and I was also born prematurely… at 7 months. As a young single mother, she needed a fun, cheap, and easy way to keep me entertained. Introducing the library! Not only do I have a plethora of fond memories there, but it also gave my mom the ability to be a better mom and be more present (by giving her breaks and entertainment for her two young children).

Growing up I had always utilized my library card, even after we worked our way out of financial struggle.

Now that I am a (broke) adult the library continues to support me. I don’t spend much on myself, I repair my old clothes, make my own coffee at home, I use all the coupons I can find, ect. But the one thing I do like to splurge on is Spotify. Unfortunately bc of this lovely economy, I’ve had to give that up temporarily. Bit of a first world issue but I was honestly really struggling with not being able to listen to music without wifi. But yet again incomes the library to save my ass. Specifically hoopla!! I just found out that if u have a hoopla account, u can download and listen to music offline?? For free???

Honestly considering abandoning Spotify… (Esp cuz all of their ai slop and rumoured price increases)

Anyways, all this to say SUPPORT UR LIBRARY!! THEY CAN SO SO MUCH FOR U!! I could go on for hours abt all of the resources they provide but this post is already getting long…

(Ps, if u can’t make it to ur library in person u can apply for a digital card online)

Do any of you actually organise your bookshelves?

I just put series together and everything else gets squeezed in whereever there is space

I see so many post of people online saying: Oh mine is organised by genre Mine according to the rainbow Mine alphabetical

And like does anyone actually do that?

Like I don‘t, and really don‘t struggle with finding books or anything 😅

My coworkers and I were participating in this today at lunch soooooo.. WRONG ANSWERS ONLY- who’s a good boy?? (Fictional bookish)🤔😂

HAPPY FRIDAYYY YALLLL!!

The last Friday we have in March! Can you believe it another month has gone by already?!! TIME NEEDS TO SLOW DOWNN!! I hope everyone is having a lovely week and onto the weekend we go! I know the weather is starting to be bipolar, so please be safe!!

This week what book was your freaky, feral, and or funny reads?! For me mine was Satan's Affairs by H.D Carlton more freaky for me. Feral: it was Candy Boys by Jo Raven, it wasn't my favorite read and but the spice was there.... I did read a lot of taboo books (heh) by A.R Taboo

I see a lot of discussions on books that don't deserve their hype, but what about the ones that do? Tell me a popular stand-a-lone or series that you think deserves all the hype. I'll start and say my choice would be Birthday Girl by Penelope Douglas or the (unsurprisingly) Red Rising series. Give them allll the hype!!!

Iiiiii am on a search for books about or with side characters that are at least explored a little, that are clergy (nuns or priests preferably). I PREFER Catholic ones but I am open to other kinds also including fantasy equivalents that borrow from the imagery and any genre is fine, fiction or nonfiction. Though I’m not really looking for smut, I WILL read romance - I just need there to be plot, you know? (I’ll also add if it’s romance I prefer it to be gay or sapphic but I’ll give decent het ones a chance if people think they’re well written) Thank yoouuuu.

In celebration of the fact that it's FRIDAY (woo!), here's your chance to brag about your silliest, most inconsequential achievements.

I'm talking, "I'm pretty sure my dog could set records for biggest poo," or "I have the largest known puffy sticker collection in the world," or "I can juggle with my feet." There's no brag too small, no brag too ridiculous!

Do you have a preposterous amount of knowledge about something that's objectively kind of asinine? Are you the foremost expert on a really, really ridiculously specific topic that 99.9% of humanity would find completely irrelevant? LET'S HEAR IT!
