I remember reading this line from A Silent Patient, and thought it was the most narcissistic thing anyone could say. It really stuck with me a lot, and I tend to use ironically to gaslight my sisters and friends. “I knew deep down, she left her phone because she wanted me to find out.” - something like that So sometimes I'll be like, “you are eating fries in front of me, because deep down you wanted to share them with me.” It seems regular to say, but my mind connects it to getting it from The Silent Patient

I love a nice vanilla latte and something sweet to go with it but it can't be crumby or it will ruin my book 🤣

How soon into reading a book do you usually mark it as “currently reading” on any reading tracking sites/apps? I’m honestly just curious if other people wait until they’re further into a book to say they’re reading it. I know I have a few friends who will consider a book being ‘currently read’ when they finish their previous book and know what book they’re reading next. So they do it all in one go.

OKAY I GET IT. I CAN'T PUT IT DOWN.

AI is destroying every place for readers and writers,this is really upsetting to see.Apps like Goodreads uses AI,which isn't cool.AI shouldn't be in the book space!That's the reason l love Page bound,it's AI-free and everyone here are kind and helpful!This is a safe place for readers and writers.Also l found out that Google Docs are using our stories to train AI,this shouldn't be allowed.Writers spent hours to create those stories and give them life.AI can't and shouldn't take the creativity of the writers.That's also why l had to delete all my hard work(dw l have them in my notes app,at least for now)I used to use Google Docs to write but now l don't use it anymore.I don't want my stories to be used to train AI.＞︿＜ ->Does anyone know any apps like Google Docs but its AI-free?💗

Full confession, I'm listening to this and while I had reviewed the maps and character list before I started, I didn't have anything in front of me when I started listening. All of chapter 5 I was DEEPLY confused why Naranpa was calling Iktan multiple names to my ear, because I didn't realize Iktan uses xe/xir pronouns and it sounded like "Sheer" a bit to me and I was like "is that Iktan's first name? But then why is Naranpa using both names?" So I'm looking in my physical copy and now realizing and laughing at myself 😂 I love the representation, I've never read a book with anyone who doesn't use he or she or they!

I have occasionally seen people say that rereading a book shouldn't/doesn't count towards your reading goal and I was wondering what people on here thought about that? Personally, I think that you're still reading a book, doesn't matter if you know the story by heart, It counts as reading and should go towards your reading goal

I am doing the 52 Book Club Challenge with 52 prompts https://www.the52book.club/ and the HRCYED which I discovered today and started on July 6th. https://hrcyed.my.canva.site/ It is a really hard Bingo that lasts a year. I have been planning it all day!

Hi everyone!! What do you all count towards your reading goals? Like what kind of book formats and stuff like that. Because my goal for the year is 40 books, and so far I’ve documented reading about 27, but that doesn’t include the children’s or juvenile books I’ve read (I’m rereading diary of a wimpy kid rn). Nor does it count my manga/manhwa (save for maybe 2 or 3). Do you count books like that or only novels/long form?

I can’t believe I only found this site an hour ago. It’s wonderful. My most favourite thing is the Reddit aspect- I love the upvotes and character profile pictures. I also enjoy that you can be unknowable. Just a little book worm tracking her books with no drama✨

My first KJ Charles, and I dare say, this won’t be my last. I’m enjoying this story immensely. Clever and sweet.

slow, boring, navel gazy. lacks warmth which i suppose is part of the vibe of this book but i don't like it. i like stories to have some hope and joy and community and not be designed to induce depression the premise is very interesting and i think this would play out better as a movie or something, this book is just insufferable

hi! i'm new to this series and have only read guards! guards! and mort so far (and really enjoyed both). would love some recommendations on what one to read next- there's so many i'm not sure which one to pick up!
