Does anyone else wish that they could fix typos/errors in published books? The urge is strongest for me with “objective” errors (not capitalizing proper nouns, putting the same word twice such as “the the”, misspellings not related to regional differences, etc.). However, sometimes I get twitchy about stylistic “issues” as well (such as run-on sentences). Obviously there’s no way to do this to physical books without drawing attention to the error, and I imagine that the DRM on ebooks prevents edits like that for your own personal use. I wonder if reprints ever fix these errors or if they just don’t bother.

I know I read the Princess Diaries as a kid but it somehow feels sneaky to mark it as read, especially because it’ll be my 20th book for this quest!

Anyone have any throwback books that you’ve marked for a little boost?

(edit: I think the way I worded this brought us into the eternal “does it count??” discussion. everyone reads and logs books in their own way and for their own reasons, I’m just curious about old reads you’ve dredged up/a quest brought back into your consciousness!)

"This program features music performed by the author and her sister, Dounya El-Mohtar with Amal and Dounya on harp, flute, and vocals; and songs sung by the narrator, Gem Carmella. It also includes the short story "John Hollowback and the Witch," from the author's upcoming collection."

BOY AM I IN FOR A TREAT!!!!! THATS SO CUTE

Now that the fall 2026 PB Readalong books have been announced (🔗here), how many new books did y'all end up adding to your TBR/Interested? One? Two? All of them? Which are you interested in or not interested in?

I already have one that I've read (The Incandescent), but depending on how my reading goes in the fall and how much time I have, I might read Death of the Author and The Ornithologist's Field Guild to Love as well, since I've heard good enough about them before!

What are your plans and goals for the next month? I have 39 books on my plan 🫠 Mostly netgalley ARCs I'm way behind on. I also want to finish the Miles Franklin shortlist before the winner is announced this week. And get started on the Booker longlist.
