I hope this wasn't asked before. I tried searching Hope and I didn't see anything related to what I want to ask.

Initially I wanted to ask if there are books you'd recommend with the vibe of the Good Place (I just finished a rewatch), but as I realise this might be too specific, I wonder if you have hopecore books recommendations. (Or hopepunk) Basically what it sounds like, books that give you hope. If the prompt with the Good Place helps in any way, I welcome those recommendations as well. Basically I want books that I can read when I feel down or hopeless and to remember that as long as we live we can try again and again and again and do better. I hope this makes sense. Looking forward to any recommendations!

PS: my first thought about this category would be Lord of the Rings but I've yet to read the books, sadly.

please leave your favorite lit fic in the comments below :) i'd be happy to check them out.

What is your preferred format to read books in? And why?

Personally, I prefer to read on my Kobo.

• I can take it with me everywhere I go -I can read more comfortably. Tbh, one of my favorite things about reading on my kobo is the fact that I can lay on the side in bed and read without basically getting assaulted by the book.
• And that I can way more easily crochet while reading
• It makes it easier to read while going on my daily walks, and a huge benefit is that it’s waterproof (Yes I can and do in fact read while crocheting and while going on long walks in the forest)

And I have conflicting feelings about paperback and hardcover, overall I think i prefer paperbacks but it varies.

When it comes to audiobooks, I usually listen to them when I want to read but have things to do and I enjoy listening to non-fiction books since I don’t get bored as easily which I often tend to do with non-fiction.

Looking forward to hear your thoughts! I hope you all have a lovely day and if anyone haven’t told you lately; I am proud of you, I believe in you and here’s a hug🫂

I have almost 150 books on my tbr and can't decide what to read because I want to read all of them right now but also don't want to read any of them right now. It's driving me insane and I'd really appreciate some help, if any of you have read and recommend some books on my tbr it would be really helpful because I can't decide.

I FORGOT JUST HOW CUTE ALEX AND POPPY ARE omg this book is proof friends to lovers is the superior trope. My God.

I would kill for Rocky

So I‘ve noticed that I tend to post less in forums when I adore a book simply because I am so invested and even if I have thoughts spending more time with the characters is more important than sharing that thought with others 😅

I think the gold spot where I enjoy a book and still post are like 3 to 3.5 star books.

Does anyone else feel the same way?

Did everyone see the email from PB? Basically it noted the different and entire types based on how many posts are already in a forum. Which is your preferred adventure?

Stadium concert 200+ Arena show 100-200 Theater set ~50 Underground session <50

I prefer seeing other people's reading journey on books I've already read, vs making my own posts during a read. So theater set and underground session are my favorite. I like seeing the show size grow, if that makes sense.

Hey guys, I was wondering how other readers go about reading series. Me, personally, I read series in one go because I can‘t stand the suspense at the end of book two when there‘s a cliffhanger and book three isn‘t out until next year. And then, when book three is finally out, I have forgotten most of the major plot points or am too distracted by others books to even pick it up. So, I wait for the entire series to be out, buy all of them and keep going. However, I feel like I sometimes miss out on the hype (e.g. Fourth Wing) and for some series I‘m interested in, the author takes years and years to keep writing (e.g. Brandon Sanderson, Patrick Rothfuss), but I would really like to start reading. So how do you go about reading series? And for those of you that read them piece by piece, what are your tips not to forget all about unfinished series?

Hey everyone!

I’m dealing with a really f’ed up situation in my personal life and looking for a book(s?) to help with some catharsis, as this isn’t something I can really discuss with many people irl 😬 I’m looking specifically for books not about dysfunctional families, but specifically where one sibling is super toxic. Open to any genre and even non-fiction. I’ve just been having a hard time finding anything that’s not a messed up family dynamic as a whole (and while my family isn’t perfect lol), I’m really looking for something where one person is stirring up the trouble. Does anyone have any ideas?

Do you use the library to find/read books? I think, this year, I am going to attempt to save more $ by trying to utilize free book sources more (like the public library and multiple Little Free Libraries around my neighborhood). Of course there are some I will still buy...but this hit me after the New Year and I think it's a good savings and book goal in one!

Hello and Happy New Year all!! ⭐️ my name is erika and this is my first time on this app! im excited to find a community of fellow bookworms :) i am really liking the style of this app and hope to stay here long! the quest feature looks really interesting and cool, can't wait to explore. im typically a romance reader, especially romantasy but im open to any recommendations! one of my goals is to read one of the "classics" and more nonfiction. so excited to be here! ⭐️📚

Hello all~ I just wanted to ask if anyone had some romance books to recommend. The most recent reads I enjoyed were from the Gods of the Game series by Ana Huang, Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldtree (not romance focused but super cozy and I love it), and Phantasma by Kaylie Smith. Doesn't have to be reads that are similar, I am curious about expanding my reading but not sure where to start. Thank you!
