i think i'm approaching a point where i'm starting to heedlessly add books to my tbr. not a big deal but i originally intended to be more thoughtful about the books i was adding (i.e., am i realistically going to read this?) but then i came across a bunch of books (mostly historical fantasy, retellings, and nature non-fiction) that skyrocketed my tbr to nearly 100 books in the span of a few days lol. so in an effort to actually make progress on my tbr, i'm setting my limit to 100 books.

does anyone else place limits on their tbr? or are you the type to just add whatever remotely catches your interest?

I feel like her inability to stop comparing and to stop thinking of Rebecca is not completely her fault. There are things people around her do that contribute to her insecurity. What is the purpose of telling her how Rebecca did things? Of she wants the vase somewhere else then that should be it.

Hello, everyone! I'm currently taking a class that requires me to do a series of reviews on creative nonfiction (specifically memoirs, essay collections, anthologies, etc), and because I'm primarily a fiction reader, I need recommendations. Underrepresented voices (women and queer voices in particular) would be preferable due to the constraints of the project. If you're a nonfiction reader - or if you just have some good nonfic recs - let me know what you'd recommend! Thank you so much!

I do understand this imposter syndrome she is feeling and Maxim is definitely not helping. But I wish she had a little more confidence.

I thought it would be kind of fun to see where in the world people are, and then folks can make friends with people from the same countries/areas (if they way, not pressure obviously).

I'll go first. I'm Canadian, and more specifically I am in British Columbia (Vancouver Island if you want to get fancy).

Try to find your country and join that thread!

Everyone else?

With all the new quests dropping today (including the first installment of the genre starter packs), I'm curious. What inspires you to join a quest? Do you have certain criteria or do you just think "oooh pretty badge, must join"? 😂

For me, I've set the limit that I must have a genuine interest in at least 5 books in a quest to join it. That way I know I can at least obtain the lowest tier of badge, doesn't matter if it's a side or main quest. I feel like if there are less than 5 books in the quest that I want to/have read, it's probably not for me anyway. What do you think? Do you have a similar thought process or do you think about the quests completely differently?
