This has probably been discussed so many times before, but I don't know how to feel about the downvote button. Now that there are PB gudies, we don't really need it anymore to moderate the forums.

Like, I just got downvoted, which is totally fine! I just actually wish that the people who downvote me would interact with that post (i know it was a content guide violation, i just expressed something slightlyyy negative about a book). Like please give me your opinions as to why I am wrong!! I love to discuss it.

I have seen some people here before who feel very discouraged to make negative posts in the forum because of this, but I feel like if everyone just expressed themselves politely the forums would be such a nice place to share all kinds of experiences!

I can’t believe we already made it to the end of April! This month was actually my worst reading month this year when you look at the numbers, but I can’t have a great reading month every time, so I accept defeat this time. I’m so ready to start over tomorrow.

I also made some progress in the spring readalong, and hopefully I can get the shiny butterfly badge in May!! I’m a sucker for stats, so I’m curious how this reading month went for all of you! I know the month isn’t completely over yet, and there’s still time to finish a book or two, but bear with me hehe

template for anyone who’d like to share some april stats:

books in total: favorite(s): least favorite: most surprising: longest read: shortest read: book(s) you’re looking forward to read in may:

I'll leave my own stats in the comments!!
