Hi all, I know this question isn't book related but since this is an anti-ai platform I was wondering if anyone knows any good Pinterest alternatives. I'm speaking because OpenAI is looking into buying Pinterest and aside from being an AI firm they are also being ultra mega evil and gave $25 million to the Trump administration.

I really love pinterest, I get all of my clothing, book, poetry, fanart, music recommendations from it but I cannot stand the thought of using and OpenAI product. Does anyone have any alternatives?

Hello guys! I have just finished reading another book from Claire Kent and her post apocalyptic world (shoutout to the Kindled series that I have reread so many times). And as always I get this void and neeeeeed to read something similar - and this is my cry for help.

So please if you have any recommendations for romances in a post apocalyptic world tell me, I’m not picky 😅 I just ask:

• focus on the romance
• spice welcome, but not mandatory 🌶️
• any scenario works for me, from virus outbreak, zombies to asteroid ☄️ 🧟

Thank you!!!

i was wondering how do you guys feel about the condition of library books and the idea of dog-earing them? i have checked out tons of books from the library that have previously dog-eared pages (although it is not usually that visible unless you're looking for it) and since i hate figuring out where to put my bookmarks while reading books i usually dog-ear my own books. i think that i find it to be a grey area because you're technically not ruining the book or putting permanent damage on them, just like you would by writing in them of tearing the pages. when i was a child i would dog-ear page regularly, with making sure i straightened them out the best i could after i moved on to another page. thoughts?

I want to know everyone's thoughts on Acotar/Sarah J maas, because I personally heavily dislike both the series and the author very much (and this isn't to shame anyone for liking it or anything, this is my opinion) And I do need to preface this by saying, I have never fully read the books, but from what I read/researched online was enough to turn me away from them. Starting with the whole map within Acotar is based off the map of England/Ireland. Ireland being "Hybern", Hybern within the world is evil/vilified by Sarah J Maas. I've seen multiple people, including Irish people speak about this, and I have to say, I agree. I'm not Irish, but it's so very odd that she uses Irish mythology and profits off of it while depicting Ireland like this. This is only one problem I have found that I have with Sarah J Maas, I just want to know everyone's thoughts?

Hi all! I have a kindle paperwhite which I do like, but I’d love to move away from using Amazon products especially when it comes to reading! That said, I don’t want to lose all the books I’ve already purchased through Kindle. So I’m on the hunt for a new e-reader. Ideally I’d like one with the following features:

• color display
• e-ink display (so no LED glare)
• can support multiple e-reader apps like Kindle, Libby, Bookshop, etc.
• indie created/really just not created by Amazon

I like to highlight quotes but as of yet I haven’t become a huge annotator, so that feature is less important to me. I’m greatful for any recs you all have!

My parents recently got me to start watching the show From and I am now obsessed! So now, while I wait for season four, I'm looking for some book recs that have the same vibes as the show. Anything with a good mystery that is slowly unravelled throughout the book and that also fits into the sci-fi horror genre. Standalone books and series are both welcome!

Hi, I’m trying to get more into medieval literature and I was wondering which books people here recommend! I’ve read Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and I’m currently reading (and loving!) The Divine Comedy. I’m planing to read The Canterbury Tales next but I’d love some more suggestions! Thank you <3

I want more recs like Otessa Moshfegh where I'm not quite sure how I feel about the main character. Both the mc in Myorar and Death in Her Hands are kind of unlikeable, but in a human way. It makes me a bit uncomfortable, and I feel like I'm learning a lot about myself in digesting what I like/dislike about these characters.

Another book I can think about is No Longer Human, but there wasn't really any gray area there for me, as the mc was very unlikeable.

Does anyone have any recs with characters like this? Where it's hard to discern whether you like or dislike a character?

Dose anyone know a book where one of the characters experience child loss -and it's actually talked about not just an untouched backstory-

It doesn't really have to be fictional but anything will work
