How do you guys make mutuals here? You can only see your own following and there isn’t a way to dm anyone. I’m fairly active but I haven’t really befriended anyone here yet. (Also hi if you want to be moots 😉)

It's been a couple of weeks for me now. The addiction is getting quite out of hand.

The symptoms? -a quick peak turns to two hours -can't stop staring at your new avatar, I even have that same top! -endless yapping -forgetting to eat -when did I last use the ladies'? Yesterday?

I have tried everything: -walks (takes a quick peak while walking, see point above) -begging friends to join PB -other hobbies. Can't remember what they are anymore. Something about collecting dolphin shaped rocks? Not sure. -low and behold, actual reading.

Is anyone else in the grips of this and is there a known cure? What have I gotten myself into?

tell me your favorite graphic novels (especially if it's fantasy), i want to read them! i love them very much, and i always have this newfound underrated appreciation whenever i read a 5 star one. here is a list of mine:

• shubeik lubeik (the one that inspired this post)
• wash day diaries
• tea dragon society
• laura dean keeps breaking up with me
• the magic fish
• the prince and the dressmaker
• one hundred nights of hero
• messy roots
• the chromatic fantasy

For people that have been tracking and reviewing books for a long time (specifically, those that transferred data into Pagebound)...do you ever get a notification that someone liked or commented on a review you wrote YEARS ago?

This has happened to me a few times recently and I always get so embarrassed and feel the need to shout "I WROTE THIS WHEN I WAS THIRTEEN PLEASE DONT JUDGE ME!!!"

Maybe I'm just an overthinker, but I do find it amusing since PB dates all the imported reviews as the date imported. Sometimes I feel inclined to go in and edit those old ones with the date it was truly written, but there's just too many! Does anyone else relate to this?😂🙈

Space Opera is my favorite type of Science Fiction. I have read a lot of it over the years. Something about the scope and the characters just hooks me. My favorite one of all time is The Expanse series by James S.A. Corey. I was so invested in those characters by the time I got to book 9 that I was almost afraid to read it. I bought it on the first day it was out and plowed right through it. I got a little teary eyes when it was over knowing that I would probably never see any of those characters again (well except for in a reread). I am currently working my way through the Culture series by Iain M. Banks. I like it for a completely different reason (since most characters don’t repeat). I think for that one it is the scope and the writing. The first space opera I ever read was The Lensman series by EE Doc Smith. I read it in 7th grade and it completely captured my imagination and I was off and running.

What are some of your favorite classic or new space operas? Is there a particular reason you love them?

I only read books written by women and nonbinary people, do you have any good recs? I would love to learn more about your favorite authors! (extra points if theyre lgbtqia+)

If you were to meet your favourite character or a character from you last read what would you say to them? I don't mind if you choose to meet them in this world or their world.

I'm saying Maris from Sherrilyn Kenyon's The League series. I would just want to give him a hug and say that his family are idiots.

Thank you for indulging my daily odd questions. I read everyone's answers and try to respond to as many as I can.

When I was little I remember the best thing was finding a series that was already completed, with multiple books in the series. Obviously no goodreads or book tracking apps then. BUT there were a few series that I started, where I had to wait for the next book to be published, and eventually forgot about finishing the series/aged out of the books (I'm thinking specifically the Septimus Heap books). Has anyone gone back to reread childhood books in order to feel like you completed the story? Or do you just look fondly upon the past?
