I don't know why I was thinking about this, but does anyone have a character from a book that they would consider to be their fictional boyfriend/girlfriend? It's been a while, but my fictional boyfriend is the main character Ben from the book series "The Castaways of the Flying Dutchman." I still consider him to be my one and only fictional boyfriend.

I've seen a few videos on my TikTok fyp discussing rating books you DNF. I haven't ever, especially because I'm only getting 1-2 chapters in sometimes. But, I saw a comment saying being able to get through a book is obviously the objective, so why wouldn't you leave a rating about why you couldn't do that? That got me thinking about it again for the books I do get a decent bit through (I recently got 50% into a DNF). I think Pagebound also provides a unique opportunity to give that feedback in the feed rather than a review. What do you think? Are you rating DNFs? Only rating them if you get to a certain point or if it's THAT bad?

Reading them linearly feels painful to me in a way I can't describe. It feels as if the book will never end. It's not exactly hard to see the progress as usual, but I feel like I'm starting something and ending something over and over again, which brings about this feeling of desperation in me. My brain immediately wants to be done with the book entirely after finishing a story, but there's still more shorts to go. But then again, skipping around the book is not perfect either. I end up feeling extremely disorganised. Randomly opening up a story, reading it and then randomly picking up another irks something in me that wants to see the stories finished like dominoes, one at a time. It's hard enough being spontaneous to read a short story collection in the first place, you know I usually do end up skipping around the book regardless, and reading alongside another book to make the whole thing feel like a side quest. But I would love to know how you tackle anthologies on your own. Also, any good recommendations? So far, I've been reading from authors I'm obsessed with and haven't ventured to anthologies from a collection of authors.

So excited for this quest! I wanted this to be a collection for both people who've never read a sapphic book and don't know where to start, and also for avid readers of sapphic stories that are looking for more recommendations. Feel free to suggest more books to be added! Now the real question: what's your favorite sapphic book or one that made a big impact on you?

I always spoil my posts if I absolutely have to, but I know some people consider things that are in the blurb NOT spoilers. But what if the stuff I want to talk about is in Books 2 and 3 of a trilogy, and they are on the blurbs, but are spoilers for book one. And people who see updates on their main feed, who haven't read the fiest book but want to one day will get spoiled! This isn't really a question, but a funny scenario I thought after I posted a post in the Thunderhead book forum. Ordinarily, what I posted is nothing that true fans don't know. But thinking back, if anyone ever wanted to read Scythe, they would know way in advance one of the major plot points revealed in book one, if they followed me ☝🏿😀 I think it was discussed that books on your tbr might be taken out of the main feed? Is that right

I was sitting here jokingly thinking about how I wish I could post a status update to say "hey, sorry for all the spam posts about this one book but I'm done now and it was REALLY good" (in a light hearted way), but then I thought about it and I actually think this could be possibly be a really neat feature? Not sure how hard it would be to do, or if anyone would be into it besides me but it might be nice to be able to post just casual things. "Yay! Just finished my 10th read this year!" or "oh my god, guess what amazing book I found at the thrift store?" or whatever else. I know we have the forums here, but it feels a bit awkward to share the little things and I think I'd have a lot of fun with that. We have so many updates that get shared (and I don't mean this in a bad way) from our forum creations, books we start reading, books we review, etc. I just thought it might possibly be neat if we could do our own custom one too! Especially because these would just be things that people that follow us might see which I think would be an extra fun element of getting to follow someone. I guess I can understand one worry is people using statuses as a way to post about books they're reading instead of in the book discussion forum, so I understand if this isn't a thing that can go forward, but I wanted to share my thoughts anyways!
