For the 5 books in the “My Taste” section on your profile, how did you pick them? Are they all 5-star reads, personal favorites, books that give off your general reading vibe, or do they all just scream "me"? I’m always curious how people approach it. Mine are all 5-star reads that kind of reflect my reading vibe, even if they don’t totally scream “me.”

So, I really enjoy making excels that I update my reading on along with my updates on storygraph and on here, I have an excel of all my owned books, of my TBR list and all my reads, there's just something satisfying for me to fill an excel relating to books. Anyone else who does this or are the apps enough for you?

I'll be in the city all week near the port authority/New York times building this week for work. Any good bookshop recommendations, ideally ones that stock special editions or that are unique, ideally independent but not a hard requirement since it's midtown lol

Hey everyone!! So I've started a alphabet challenge for myself, to help me with picking books and as a fun little challenge. So far I still need to read the following letters: B;E;I;J;K;M;N;O;Q;R;S;U;V;W;X;Y & Z. As you can see I've got a long way to go... Anyways I think it'll be a fun way to make my reading goal this year. Feel free to suggest some books for me for the letters I need. Would anyone like to do the challenge with me ? The rules are simple: •Read a book for every letter in the alphabet. •Only applies to books you e read this year. •Goal is to complete the challenge before the end of the year. I hope some of you decided to join me on this !! (If you have anything to add to the challenge please lmk)

So does anyone else actively seek out spoilers or is it just me?? For instance, I had a friend who read a book I was interested in - romance with POC main characters that seemed to be a why choose - and I asked them for a full plot rundown because I wanted to be sure it was something I would enjoy and not a case of a book description fishing for reads. I absolutely 100% believe hiding things behind a spoiler tag is something people should be doing to avoid revealing anything to those who've yet to read the book. But with the limited time I have for reading, and a TBR that's already long enough to reach the moon, sometimes I just want to know if the time I invest in a book is going to be worth it to me. Anyway, anyone else do this or something similar??

Trying to clean up my profile, but I can't quite see the option on mobile
